! Do not operate or store instrument in the following
places:
Explosive areas
Near water, oil, dust or chemicals
Areas where temperature is above 104°F (40°C).
! Do not look at the emitted light for long periods of
time; it can be harmful to the eyes.
! Do not disassemble or repair unit while in operation.
! To mount the strobe on a tripod (or any other
mounting surface), use screw 1/4 - 20unc, length
8mm or shorter , for the tripod screw hole on the bottom.

Features
Setter
The setter changes the flashing rate. Turn CW to
increase the rate, turn CCW to decrease rate.
x2 Switch
Pressing "x2" will double and display the flashing rate.
1/2 Switch
Pressing the "1/2" will divide flashing rate by two and
display it.
Plus (+) Switch
When object appears to be standing still, pressing "+"
will give the illusion that the object is moving towards
the opposite direction of rotation. This action increases
the rate slightly (phase shift) and is used to place the
object in desired position.
Minus (–) Switch
When object appears to be standing still, pressing "–"
will give the illusion that the object is moving towards
the rotating direction. This action decreases the rate
slightly (phase shif) and is used for the same reason as
above.

Operation

Internal Triggering
1. Firmly plug power cord into a 100VAC (Japan), 120 VAC
(US) or 230 VAC (Europe) single phase.
2. Aim light beam at object under observation. The best
distance between the strobe and moving object is
approximately 2 ft.
3. Measure rpm by turning setter. Turn setter to adjust the
flashing rate to the rotational speed of the object. To
reach the desired rate faster, use the 1/2 or x2 switches.
External Triggering
1. Connect wires according to connector pin designation:
Tip: signal
Sleeve: Gnd
2. Plug power cord into a 100VAC (Japan), 120 VAC (US)
or 230 VAC (Europe). Pull power trigger switch and
lock it. When the ext. phone jack is inserted in unit, the
strobe automatically switches from the internal mode to
the external.
3. The strobe will flash every time the sensor puts out a
pulse. See specifications table for input signal require-
ments.
When the strobe is turned off and on again at a later time, it
will start to flash at the previous displayed rate regardless if
the setter has been moved or not.
True RPM
All strobes give the illusion of stopped motion when flashing
in submultiples of the true speed.
To obtain the correct rpm, turn knob from highest fpm
downward. When the first single image appears, read the
true rpm. To verify it, press "1/2". A single image will appear
again.
4. If the input signal frequency exceeds upper or lower
limits, the alarm mark will be displayed and the strobe
will stop flashing.
Synchronous Output Signal
The Synchronous output signal appears on the tip of the

When FPM reading is displayed but unit is not flashing,
flash tube may need to be replaced.
1. Unplug line cord from power line. Turn power switch
OFF. Wait a few minutes until stroboscope is cool
before replacing flash tube.
2. Remove protective window by removing the 4 screws.
3. Use a rag and pull the tube out of its socket by rocking
it slightly up and down. Do not use bare hands to
remove tube, it may break and cause injury.
4. Insert new tube using the technique mentioned above.
Make sure that the tube is placed properly in the socket
otherwise it will touch the reflector. Tube should be set
symetrically within the neck of the reflector.
5. Replace protective window.
