WARNING:
Stroboscopes give the illusion of stopped motion. Do not touch the machine or object being observed!
The use of stroboscopes may induce an epileptic seizure in those persons predisposed to this type of attack.
Explosion hazard. Do not use this product in the presence of an explosive environment.
CAUTION:
Do not use this product in wet or condensating environments.

2. Intended use
You can use the testo 476 in a variety of industrial, laboratory, R&D and academic environments.
Most commonly, the testo 476 is used to make objects which are moving at high speeds appear to be moving in slow motion. When this occurs, you can then safely and easily analyse their motion, check for proper registration, determine sources of unwanted vibration, etc.
Also, you can use the testo 476 to apparently “freeze” an object’s movement. Without making contact, you can accurately measure the object’s rotational speed or reciprocation rate.
Unlike other portable stroboscopes, the testo 476 (XENON-)stroboscope takes only one hand to operate.
Typical applications include use with:
-High speed assembly lines, conveyor systems, bottling operations, etc.
-Printing presses and cloth looms
-Motors, fans, pumps and turbines
-Calibration and inspection equipment
-Monitoring laboratory & research applications
