2.0 GETTING STARTED
The Stroboscope may be hand held 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 LED Strobe is battery powered and has internal rechargeable
batteries. The unit should be charged before use (see Section 5.0). The
actual operating time of the stroboscope depends on the flash pulse width.
Narrower flash widths increase the operating time. Note that the DBL strobe
will not operate from the recharger supplied with the unit. The PBL will
run continuously from the supplied AC powered charger (PSC-PBXU).
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.
NOTE:
Unit must power down completely (OFF will be displayed and
then disappear) before unit will power on again. This is normal
operation. Wait 2 seconds before turning the unit back on again.
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” (3.5mm) phone
plugs (input - stereo, output - mono). The input and output signals are TTL
compatible. See Figures 2 and 3 for connector connection detail.
