DT-365 LED Portable Stroboscopes

High-Intensity, Battery Powered LED Strobo­scopes.

Stroboscopes are velocity analyzing and measuring devices that
are ideal for machinery process inspection.
scopes are capable of flashing their LED lights in a synchronous
frequency to the operating machinery, creating the illusion of
viewing slowed or frozen images. Utilizing this phenomenon of
slowing or stopping the motion with the adjusted flash rate of its
LED lights, machine parts and processes may be inspected for
defects, aiding in preventative maintenance programs. This LED
technology extends operation due to the low energy requirement
of the light diodes compared with xenon lit stroboscopes. Proper
operation is assured as concern of the light failure during usage,
common with xenon bulbs, is eliminated. The light output (Lux) of
the LED’s is far brighter than xenon powered stroboscopes with
the DT-365 outshining all comparable stroboscopes on the market
from its array of 18 LED’s.

The operation panel is a vibrant red LED display that is ideal for
viewing in dark locations. The simple to use keypad plus rate ad­justment dial aids in making quick changes of the flash rate to co­incide with changes in the speed of your process. The dial allows
fine-tune altering of the flash rate while the x2/÷2 keys enable
large spanning over the entire flash range.

The DT-365 has the added feature of modifying the flash dura­tion or on time which aids in picture clarity often necessary in
printing processes. The phase shift function is ideal for rotating
equipment where the user needs to change the focus on different
blades, gears, or section of the machinery. These stroboscopes
are also capable of being synchronized with an input signal. To
complete the system, the DT-365 has a power output to supply an
input sensor if desired. The robust aluminum housing is NEMA-4X
(IP65) protected allowing usage in harsh plant environments. The
DT-365 array of 18 LED’s allows continuous operation from 2 to
5 hours depending on user settings. Typical applications for the
DT-365 are to determine speeds, inspect rotors, meshing gears,
motors, textile equipment, printing production lines, conveyors,
industrial fans, pump operation, vibration equipment diagnostics
and many more.
