The Monarch 6232-011 PBL battery–operated, portable stroboscope has a 12-array LED light source, internal and external trigger modes, a 30 to 500,000 flashes/revolutions-per-minute (FPM/RPM) range, and a continuous duty cycle to provide stop-motion inspection and speed measurement. It is designed for motion analysis, preventive maintenance, printing inspection, and speed measurement of repetitive motion. The 12-array LED light source has an adjustable flash duration up to 14 degrees or 3000 microseconds and a light output of 3000 lux. LED lights have a longer bulb life and require less energy than xenon flash tubes and can extend the battery life of battery-powered stroboscopes, have a lower heat output, and quieter operation when used in audio testing. The flash rate range of 30 to 500,000 FPM/RPM has an accuracy of 0.002% of setting, or + or - 1 least-significant digit/0.01 FPM. A NIST Certificate of Calibration ensures accuracy. Built-in multiply-by-2 and divide-by-2 functionality allows the operator to distinguish true RPM from harmonics. Separate 3.5mm (1/8") transistor-transistor logic (TTL) input and output jacks provide power to remote sensors and allow multiple strobes to be daisy-chained to provide wider coverage. Tachometer mode, available for use while the stroboscope is in external mode, has a measuring range of 5 to 200,000 rpm and an accuracy of + or - 0.01% or 0.1 rpm (requires remote sensor, not included). External phase shift of 0.1 to 359.9 degrees and time delay range of 0.001 to 1000 milliseconds allow operator to manually adjust the focal point of the object to any point in the rotation without moving the trigger point. Manual internal phase shift allows the operator to view the object at any point in the cycle without moving the trigger point. The stroboscope can be powered by the internal NiMH rechargeable batteries or using the universal 115/230V AC power supply/recharger. The continuous duty cycle and the 115/230V AC power supply allow the stroboscope to be used continuously without the need for a cool-down period and the integrated 1/4" - 20 UNF (Unified Fine) thread enables the stroboscope to be mounted on a tripod for long-term use. The internal NiMH rechargeable battery has a typical life-span of 8 to 10 hours at 1800 FPM. The stroboscope includes a universal 115/230V AC charger with interchangeable wall plugs, a NIST Certificate of Calibration, a water-tight carrying case, and instructions. Stroboscopes are used in a variety of settings including manufacturing, printing, education, and photography.SpecificationsFlash rate range (FPM/RPM and VRPM) and accuracy30 to 500,000 FPM/RPM, 0 to 200 VRPM with accuracy of 0.002% of setting or + or - 1 least-significant digit/0.01 FPMFlash durationAdjustable to 14 degrees/3000 microseconds maximumTime and phase delay0.01 to 1000 milliseconds time delay, 0.1 to 359.9 degrees phase delayLight source and output12-array LED with 3000 lux at 6000 FPM, 8 inches (20cm), 2% duty cycleInternal phase shiftManual adjustmentExternal phase shift featuresPhase, time, and automaticExternal triggerTTL 24V DC maximum input provides 3.3V DC TTL outputTachometer mode0 to 500,000 RPM (requires remote sensor - not included)Operating time8 to 10 hours typical at 1800 FPM with battery or continuous duty cycle using 115/230V 50/60 Hz AC power supply/rechargerPower supplyInternal NiMH rechargeable battery with 115/230 V, 50/60 Hz rechargerDimensionsBody: 3.66 x 3.56 x 9"/93 x 90 x 229mmReflector housing: 4.8"/122mm diameterHandle: 4.254"/108mmWeight1.9lbs./860gH is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.Stroboscopes evaluate the functionality of fast-moving rotational objects, such as belts, fan blades, and other machine parts. They are used in industries such as manufacturing, entertainment, high-speed printing, wood and metal turning, and in education and research settings. Stroboscopes have a flashing light (strobe) that, when directed at a moving object, makes the object appear to be stopped or moving in slow motion. This enables the operator to evaluate machine performance without stopping the machine. Stroboscopes use either xenon flash tubes or LED light sources. The strobe is triggered either internally, which allows the operator to manually adjust the flash rate, or externally and automatically by a peripheral sensor. Multiply-by-2 (2/4 or 2X) and divide-by-2 (1/2) functionality enables the operator to verify the actual revolutions per minute (RPM) and to distinguish true RPM from harmonics. Phase shift adjusts the flash delay in degrees of a full rotation, and time delay adjusts the flash delay in seconds or fractions of a second. Input and output features enable the operator to use peripheral sensors to trigger flash rates, to perform tachometer operations, or to daisy-chain stroboscopes. Monarch Instrument manufactures devices such as tachometers, stroboscopes, data loggers, and leak detectors. The company, founded in 1977 and headquartered in Amherst, NH, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001:2008.What's in the Box?Monarch 6232-011 Nova-Strobe PBL stroboscope115/230 Universal power cable/charger with USA and Euro cablesNIST Certificate of CalibrationWater-tight plastic carrying caseInstructions
