Phaser-Strobe pbx

The Phaser-S trobe pbx incorporate the unique design features of the Nova-Strobe dbx with an increased
operating range of 30 to 50,000 flashes per minute, as well as external phase- shifting. The unique
digital adjustment knob can select the decade for adjustments, so coarse and fine adjustments of flash
rates are made quickly and with significantly better resolution than competitive units. The memory

feature of the Phaser-Strobe pbx allows nine flash rates to be stored - displayed in flashes per minute
or flashes per second. Phaser-Strobe pbx operates with internal rechargeable batteries or continuously
from AC line power with the power supply/recharger.

Features:

• N.I.S.T. Traceable Certificate of Calibration included

• Phase Shift adjustable as phase angle or time with resolution to 0.01º and 0.01 msec

• Virtual RPM mode provides slow motion viewing for high speed events

• Backlit alphanumeric LCD shows flash rate, degrees, time

• Store and recall nine memory settings

• TTL compatible input/output jacks, power for optional sensors

• Tachometer mode from Remote Sensors (see page 9)

PORTABLE STROBOSCOPES (for use with Vibration Data Collectors)

Vibration-Strobe VB

Vibration Strobe is uniquely designed to provide precise, instantaneous synchronization to a num­ber of data collectors and FFT Analyzers triggered by an accelerometer. Built for rugged, portable

applications, the Vibration Strobe is the perfect lightweight phase analysis tool. Vibration Strobe
allows for the measurement of phase without stopping the machinery to install reflective tape. Phase
analysis is quick and accurate using the Filter Bandwidth Selector and the Relative Phase Adjust­ment. Unique “Tracking Filter” maintains phase lock to input pulse.

Kits include: Strobe, interface cable, fast recharger and spare lamp in latching carrying case.
