Ex. 1 Second hand: 40 seconds 2 Tachymeter scale: "90" "90" (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 (km or mile) = 90 km/h or mph * Tachymeter scale can be used only when the time required is less than 60 seconds. Ex. 2: If the measuring distance is extended to 2 km or miles or shortened to 0. 5 km or miles and Second hand indicates "90" on tachymeter scale: "90" (tachymeter scale figure) x 2 (km or mile) = 180 km/h or mph 18 "90" (tachymeter scale figure) x 0. 5 (km or mile) = 45 km/h or mph To measure the hourly rate of operation English 1 Use the stopwatch to measure the time required to complete 1 job. Tachymeter scale indicated by Second hand gives the average number of jobs accomplished per hour. Ex. 1 Second hand: 20 seconds 2 Tachymeter scale: "180" "180" (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 job = 180 jobs/hour Ex. 2: If 15 jobs are completed in 20 seconds: "180" (tachymeter scale figure) x 15 jobs = 2700 jobs/hour 19 English NECESSARY PROCEDURE AFTER BATTERY CHANGE q When the battery is replaced, the information stored in the IC does not correspond with the time and date actually displayed.
