1.0 OVERVIEW
The Nova-Strobe Basic BBL LED
(Light Emitting Diode) is a rugged
industrial
stroboscope
that
provides extremely bright, uniform
light output for performing stop
motion diagnostic inspection
and RPM measurement. The unit
has a pistol grip with lockable
trigger switch and wrist strap for
comfortable handheld operation
or it may be mounted on a tripod
using the integral ¼ -20 UNC thread
at the base of the handle.
1.1 LED Strobe Control Panel
The Basic LED Strobe has a two-line alphanumeric liquid crystal display
(LCD) and a 4-key keypad that enables the user to control the operation
of the unit. Most of the icons in the LCD are not used.
2.0 GETTING STARTED
The BBL is battery powered and has internal rechargeable batteries. The
unit should be charged before use (see section 6.0). The actual operating
time of the stroboscope depends on the flash pulse width. Narrower flash
widths increase the operating time. Note that the BBL strobe will not
operate from the recharger supplied with the unit.
To turn on the stroboscope, depress and hold the trigger. The trigger may
be locked in position using the side locking button. To lock the stroboscope
on, depress the trigger as far as it will go and then press the locking button.
Once the locking button is set you may release the trigger and the trigger
will be held in place. To unlock the stroboscope, simply depress the trigger
and then release.
