With no external input the strobe provides a TTL compatible pulse
output from the strobe’s internal oscillator. If an external input is
applied, the output pulse mimics the input pulse. The jack has no
voltage output for a sensor.
3.0 OPERATION
To turn on the stroboscope, press and release the On/Off button ( ).
Press and release the On/Off button ( ) again to turn the strobe off.
When the strobe is powered up, it will begin flashing immediately at the
last internal flash rate displayed. The last digit changed will flash for 5
seconds allowing the digit to be changed again. Rock the tuning button up
or down to change the flashing digit. Rock the tuning button left or right to
select a different digit to change.
The flash rate is displayed on the LCD in flashes per minute, which typically
is the same as RPM.
The PALM STROBE x has three primary operating modes (Internal,
External Input and Tach) and three functions (÷2 ×2, Recall and Store) that
are adjusted by the MODE button. By default, the strobe powers up in the
Internal Mode. Pressing the MODE button will change the mode/function
in the following order: ÷2 ×2, Recall, Store, External, Tach, Internal. The ÷2
×2, Recall and Store functions are only applicable to the Internal Mode.
In the
Internal Mode
, the tuner button adjusts the flash rate from the
minimum to the maximum number of Flashes Per Minute (FPM or RPM).
In the
External Input Mode,
an external signal from another strobe or
a remote self-powered sensor is used to trigger the flash and the tuner
button has no effect. In the
Tach Mode
the unit will not flash, but will
display the input from an external (self-powered) sensor as RPM up to
250,000 RPM.
