6. Getting started
6.1 Brief description of set-up steps
Please follow the steps below when setting up the device:
1. Place 3 AA size batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries into
the device.
2. Direct the device at a moving object and switch on. Press
the button “ON / OFF” (A) for at least 1 second.
The device will start to flash straightaway. For this reason,
do not direct it at people or animals.
• The device will flash at the frequency that was set most recently.
The display shows the selected flash frequency in the unit that
was set most recently (1/min, Hz or FPM).
▪ If the flash frequency coincides with the frequency of the motion,
a static image appears.
▪ If necessary, reset to factory setting by pressing and holding the
buttons Menu “M” (B) and “MINUS” (D) simultaneously.
Note
Static images are produced when the flash frequency is identical
to, or a multiple or fraction of the frequency of the motion (see also
section 9 “Determining the actual rotational speed of an object”).
6.2 Additional operating instructions for the version with
trigger connection
Caution
Do not use signals over 999,999 FPM Hz to trigger the device.
Note
The device must be switched manually between external and
internal trigger signal. Thus the 24 V sensor supply is switched on.

The trigger input is suitable for NPN signals. A cable with plug,
corresponding to these input jacks, is provided with the device. The
trigger jack is located at the lower part in the center of the device.
