Safety Precautions

Be sure to observe

Before operation, maintenance and inspection, please carefully read this instruction manual and follow it for proper use. Please carefully read all information related to this unit and safety, and precautions before use.

This instruction manual provides two grades of safety warnings: "Danger" and "Caution". Each of them is an important description related to safety. Be sure to observe.

DANGER

CAUTION

This indicates the possibility of re, severe injur y, and even death if a user disregards the

instruction and operates the unit improperly.

This indicates the possibility of minor injury or property damage if a user operates the unit

improperly.

However, depending on the circumstances, there is still the possibility that severe injury may

result. Be sure to observe.

We categorize the type of those precautions using the following symbols

throughout the manual.

A prohibited action you must not do.

A forced action you must always do.

DANGER

Do not use this product in an atmosphere

with risk of re and/or explosion.

Failure to follow this could result in re.

Do not look directly at the light emitting section.

Failure to follow this could result in injury to the eyes.

CAUTION

Do not use and/or store the unit in the

Do not apply strong impact to the unit, or drop it.

Failure to follow this could result in abnormal operation.

Never disassemble, repair, and modify the unit.

Failure to follow this could result in injury due to abnormal operation.

Wipe clean the unit with a soft dry cloth if it gets dirty. Or immerse a cloth in water diluted neutral detergent, wring it, and wipe clean the unit with it. Do not use any volatile chemicals, such as benzine, thinner, or alcohol.

Since continuously emitting light for long time causes the unit's housing to heat up, x the LED strobe using a tripod, etc. and use the unit (avoid direct skin contact with the unit, such as holding it by hand).

Failure to follow this could result in mild burns.

1 Overview of this product

A stroboscope tachometer is a measurement instrument to measure the speed (cycle) of rotating

objects that rotate at a constant speed, or moving objects that repeatedly operate at a constant cycle. When the rotation (motion) cycle matches with the ash cycle while the strobe ash is periodically applied on a rotating or moving object, the rotating (moving) object image appears to stand still. This stroboscope tachometer is the non-contact type, and can be used to read the ash frequency when

such a still image appears. Also, a stroboscope can be used to make images of rotating or moving

objects stand still or that slightly move in order to observe their appearances.

Main features

The wide-range measurement of 60 fpm to120,000 fpm is available

Simply pressing the "x2" or "÷2" key can change the emission count (frequency) to double or half

respectively

The emission time (duty) can be changed by 0.1º within the range between 0.1º/360º and 3.6º/360º

The emission timing (phase) can be adjusted

The external I/O function is implemented (which enables emission in synchronization with the

external trigger pulse, and enables the pulse signal in synchronization with the strobe emission to be output)

Refer to "4.3.2.1 Emission count setting" for details

Refer to "4.3.2.2 Changing the emission count (frequency) to double or

half" for details

Refer to "4.3.3 Emission duration mode"

2.3 Charging

Be sure to charge the battery before initial use. Before charging, be sure to check that the power is turned OFF.

2.3.1 Charging method

Turn the power OFF, and connect the supplied AC adapter's connector to the main unit. Next insert the AC adapter's AC plug into an outlet. The battery lamp lights up, and charging starts. Charging is complete in approximately 2.5 hours, and then the charging lamp goes off.

Note 1) Since the battery current is automatically shut off when charging is complete, there is no need

to worry about overcharging.

Note 2) When the power is turned ON during charging, charging is canceled and emission starts. When

the unit uses the AC adapter as its power source, it is not charged. (Note that emission and charging cannot be performed simultaneously.)

Note 3) Though the unit can be charged while battery power still remains, charging will still end when

fully charged. It is recommended, however, that the unit be charged when the battery has run out ("LLLLLL" is indicated on the number display) to avoid reducing the battery life itself.

Note 4) If the unit is charged immediately after a long emission time at a high ambient temperature,

the temperature rise protection circuit will turn on, and the charging lamp may not light up. In that case, disconnect the AC adapter, and let the unit cool. When the product temperature is decreased, connect the AC adapter again, and start charging.

Note 5) Never charge the unit under the following conditions.

the front of the unit and secure.

If the remaining battery decreases below the specied amount, the battery voltage is lowered

and the number display is changed to indicate the current setting value and "LLLLLL" alternately. Emission can be performed even when the battery voltage is low. If the remaining battery decreases further, the number display indicates only "LLLLLL", which provides the emission stop status. Press the power switch, and shut off the power immediately. In either case, charge the unit according to the procedure in "2.3.1 Charging method" .

2.3.3 Battery replacement

CAUTION

When replacing the battery, be sure to turn off the stroboscope main unit. Do not touch the metal part of the connecter.

If the battery-life duration becomes short, replace the battery with one that is specied.

For a new battery, contact our dealer where you purchased this unit.

(1) Remove the four screws on both ends of the bottom of the DT-365E main unit, and take out the

built-in battery.

(2) Remove the connector and battery xing screws, and replace with a new battery. (3) Secure the new battery using xing screws and connect the connector to it.

(4) Mount the built-in battery in the main unit.
