2.0 PREPARATION FOR USE
The Strobe may be handheld or mounted on a tripod or other user supplied
bracket using the ¼-20 UNC bushing at the base of the handle.
2.1 Power
The AC powered strobe must have its power cord plugged into an AC
outlet (115 V ac or 230 V ac).
The battery-powered strobe has internal rechargeable batteries.
The unit should be charged before use (see section 7.0). The actual
operating time of the stroboscope depends on the flash rate and duty
cycle of operation. Slower flash rates (below 4,000 FPM) increase
the operating time. Note that the strobe will not operate from the
recharger supplied with the unit.
2.2 Input/Output Connections
The strobe has input and output jacks on the left side of the stroboscope.
These can be used for external triggering or synchronization (daisy
chaining two or more strobes). These jacks accept 1/8" [3.5 mm] phone
plugs (input - stereo, output - mono). The input and output are TTL
compatible. See Figures 2 and 3 for connector connection detail.
