INSTRUCTION MANUAL
OPT-010 Optical Tachometer
Thank you for purchasing SkyRC Optical Tachometer (SK-500010). Please read this entire
operating manual completely and attentively as it contains important information.
It is a must have tool for any pilot, and can measure RPM of any rotating object, such as all
kinds of helicopters, fixed-wing airplanes with propellers and multi-copters. With high accuracy,
fast response, compact size, ergonomic design and easy operation, this Optical Tachometer
makes pilots have more fun!
As we know when the flashing frequency of 3D Glass Screen is the same as the RPM of a
rotating object, if we view the rotating object through the 3D Glass Screen, the rotating object is
“static”. At this time, the flashing frequency of 3D Glass Screen is the RPM of this rotating
object. That is the working principle of this Optical Tachometer.
