Digital engine tachometer
SE-2500A

The SE-2500A is a battery-powered non-contact handheld engine tachometer designed specifically for gasoline engines, integrating the detection unit, measurement unit, and display unit. By simply bringing the head of the main unit (detection unit) close to the ignition coil, you can measure the engine's rotational speed in units of 1 r/min or 0.01 r/s. The measurement data can be stored in the main unit's memory function for up to 20 data points, making it convenient for later verification.
It comes standard with both analog output (switchable with monitor output) and pulse output. The analog output is for recording purposes with data recorders, etc. (the monitor output is for sensor waveform confirmation or as an input signal for FFT analyzers), while the pulse output can be used as a tracking analysis signal for FFT analyzers.
* The SE-2500A does not include the IP-2800 external sensor.
* We sincerely apologize, but we kindly ask that you prepare the dry batteries yourself.

Features

  • It is a non-contact type, so it can be measured easily and safely.

  • You can obtain an accurate rotational speed of 1 r/min or 0.01 r/s.

  • The backlight function allows you to check the display values even in dark places.

  • The memory function can save a maximum of 20 data entries.

  • Standard equipped with analog output and pulse output
    Analog output: 0 to 1 V / 0 to F.S (F.S. can be set arbitrarily), 10 bit D/A conversion
    Pulse output: Hi +4.5V or higher, Lo +0.5V or lower

  • The engine speed of the 4-cylinder diesel engine can be measured by the optional detector (VP-201/VP-1210)*

Depending on the engine, there may be cases where measurement is not possible.

  • Case No. 1
  • Case No. 2
