|
|
| (September 2010, Nagano, Japan) HIOKI E.E. CORPORATION is pleased to announce the release of the TACHO HiTESTER FT3405 and FT3406. Tachometers such as the FT3405 and FT3406 are used to measure the rotational speed of rapidly rotating objects such as motors and fans. |

|
|
| ADVANCED FEATURES |
|
- Improved detection range and safety
The new instruments’ use of contactless measurement utilizing a red LED in the visible spectrum allows the range from which rotational speed can be steadily detected to be improved by a factor of 2.5, to 500 mm. Extended range means the ability to measure rotating target objects from a greater distance, resulting in improved safety.
- Improved durability for use in harsh measuring environments
The FT3405 and FT3406 feature a drop-proof design that can withstand a drop of 1 meter onto concrete. Additionally, compliance with the IP 50 (EN 60529) standard of protection against dust and water penetration means the new instruments can be used in harsh environments characterized by airborne dust and other particulate matter. These improvements in durability and resilience allow the FT3405 and FT3406 to be used with confidence and peace of mind in harsh measuring environments.
- Ease of use in the field
The FT3405 and FT3406 have been designed for exceptional ease of use in the field. Features include a large, backlit screen that is easily visible in dark work environments; a lighted HOLD key and buzzer to indicate that the instrument has taken an accurate reading; and a robust grip that allows the instrument to be held securely with just one hand. These enhancements dramatically improve ease of use from the customers’ perspective.
- Extensive measurement capabilities
In addition to contactless measurement, optional contact adapters with different tip profiles are available for both new instruments, allowing them to be used in a broad range of applications.
Furthermore, the FT3406 offers an analog output function, allowing it to measure changes in rotation when used with a HIOKI data recorder.
