4.0 OPERATION

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.

There are five operating modes for the 

Phaser-Strobe pbx

.  These are Internal,

External Input, External Phase Delay, External Time Delay, and Auto (Virtual
RPM).  All but the Internal Mode require an 

external input signal

.

In the 

Internal Mode

 the knob adjusts the flash rate.  In the 

External

Input Mode

 an external signal is used to trigger the flash and the knob has

no effect.  The 

External Delay Modes (Phase, Time and Auto)

 enable the

user to vary the stopped motion image at any point in the cycle without
having to move the trigger source location.

4.1

Internal Mode - Standard Strobe Operation

In the 

Internal Mode

 the stroboscope generates it’s own signals and

functions like a tunable stroboscope.  The strobe is in the Internal
Mode when nothing is plugged into the input jack or when manually
set using the 

INPUT

 button.

The stroboscope is designed to discharge the internal high voltages
within 30 seconds. However, caution should be exercised when replacing
the lamp.

The lamp can be replaced by using just a pocket screwdriver.  

It is not

necessary to remove any screws to replace the lamp.

To change the lamp:

1.

Push apart the two tabs on the side of the reflector housing and
remove the lens using a small screwdriver to help pry one tab and
lift the lens. Take care not to pry the tab any more than is necessary
to free the lens. The reflector is held in place by the front lens and
will come loose, but it is not necessary to remove the reflector.

2.

Hold the lamp with a cloth between your forefinger and thumb
and rock it back and forth gently while pulling out. Do not attempt
to rotate the lamp. The lamp is socketed and will come out easily
when pulled straight out.

WARNING:

Do NOT touch the new lamp with bare fingers.

3.

The lamps are polarized and must be put into the socket matching
polarity. 

Using a lint free cloth, match up the red dot on the

plug with the red dot on the socket

 and gently rock the lamp

while pushing it into place (see Figure 4). Make sure the lamp is
in straight and centered in the reflector hole.

CAUTION:

Do NOT allow the reflector to contact the lamp.
