How to change flash rate

-F00-

 Internal trigger mode

-F01-

 External trigger mode, Flash once a

sensor signal.

 Phase delay: Press Mode key to set

delay degree, display ‘P ***’

 Flash rate equals
to sensor signal rate

-F02-

 External trigger mode, Flash rate

determined by sensor signal and two
parameters(‘C’ and ‘d’)

 Press Mode key to select parameters.
 Parameter ‘C’: length between two

continuous sensor signals, units:mm

 Parameter ’d’: length between two

continuous objects, such as printing

In this trigger mode, trigger sensor should installed as following:

User should set two parameters ‘C’ and ‘d’, when sensor signal input,
stroboscope calculate flash rate and start flashing.

Flash rate equals:

: flash rate

:sensor signal rate

: Parameter C

: Parameter d

Key ‘MODE’ select parameter ‘C’ or ‘d’
Key ‘+’,‘-’,‘×2’ ,‘÷2’ or Knob change data
Key ‘SIGN’ confirm the data and exit set page to display flash rate
When flash rate is not same of the object move rate , user can fine
adjust the parameter ‘C’ with rotate knob

Trigger Input Connector Pin Assignments

 Pin1: Sensor Power supply ,DC 12V 50mA provided by
stroboscope  Pin2: 0V, Power ground

 Pin3: External trigger input
 Pin4: No use

Ⅲ PAUSE Function

User can set a timer. When the timer is over, stroboscope display
‘PAUSE’ and flash stop. Press the handle switch to continue flash.
Set Timer: Press key ‘MODE’ before power on, hold the key until
display ‘--t--’ after power on. Release key ‘MODE’, stroboscope display
‘t x’.
The unit of timer is second. Range from 0 to 9999.

When the timer value is set to zero, the PAUSE fuction is invaid.
Factory setting is 5 minutes.

Ⅳ Intensity Control

The PCE-LES 500 is available with an optional integrated intensity
control for adjusting the lamp intensity over a range of 0 to

100.Press the encoder Knob until display ‘L x’.Release the
knob.Rotate the knob to change the intensity value. Press the encoder
knob once again to exit intensity control mode.

Ⅴ Charging the Battery

When PCE-LES 500 display blinking or display ‘LLLLL’, the NiCd
Battery should be changed immediately.
