1.1 Notes on operating instructions
1.3 Function
1.2 Intended use
1.0 Introduction
These operating instructions contain important notes on how to operate the ATMOS Strobo 21 LED
safely, correctly and effectively. Their reading helps to avoid risks, and also to reduce repair costs
and down-time. That increases, amongst other things, the reliability and service-life of the device.
These operating instructions serve not only for new operating personnel to be instructed in its use,
but also for use as a reference manual. Reprints (also in extracts) only with permission in written
form by ATMOS.
These operating instructions must always be kept available near the device.
Care and safety inspections in conjunction with professional execution provide for operational safety
and readiness for use of your ATMOS Strobo 21 LED and are therefore a must besides regular
cleaning.
Repair work and safety inspections may be carried out only by expert personnel authorised by
ATMOS. By applying only original spare parts you will have the guarantee that operational safety,
readiness for work and the value of your ATMOS Strobo 21 LED will be preserved.

possible dangerous situations.
The product consists of a control module with control ele-
ments, the set off LED light emitter and the microphone.
The emitter and the microphone are both connected to the
control element with an electric cable. Another control element
is the foot controller which is also connected to the control
element. A connector at the device enables the activation of a
video recorder.
The device has two different modi, these are permanent light
mode or stroboscopy mode. As soon as there is no micropho-
ne trigger signal, the device automatically switches over from
the stroboscopy mode to permanent light mode. There exist
two different functions in the stroboscopy mode: freeze-image
and slow-motion. In the permanent light mode the LED strobo-
scope can be used as light source.
An airborne sound microphone (alternatively a structure-borne
sound microphone – stethoscope microphone) picks up the
sound signal produced by the proband. With this sound signal
a trigger signal is produced for activating the light source,
the basic frequency respectively the sound-pressure level
is obtained. In the display the obtained values for the basic
frequency respectively the sound-pressure level and the
operation mode (freeze image, slow motion resp. permanent
light) are indicated.
In the following all device versions, as well as all modules and table-top devices are named ATMOS Strobo 21 LED!
