1.0 OVERVIEW
The Nova-Strobe Deluxe DBL and Phaser PBL LED (Light Emitting Diode)
are rugged portable battery powered LED Stroboscopes used for inspection
and to stop motion to determine the speed of rotating objects. The units have
a pistol grip with lockable trigger switch and wrist strap for comfortable
hand held operation or they may be mounted on a tripod using the integral
¼ -20 UNC thread at the base of the handle. Although the DBL and PBL
are similar, the PBL has the additional ability to phase shift the image with
respect to an external signal and can animate the image in slow motion
rotation for inspection purposes. The PBL can also run continuously from
an external power supply.
