Home Display
Automatic Power Off icon appears at top if selection is set for unit
to have 10 minute auto-shut off active.
When charging cable is connected, a lightning icon appears on

curring.
Light Icon indicates light array is active when present.
Battery Indication - Indicates remaining battery charge.
The battery can be used for more than 3.5 hours continuously

Brgt: Allows brightness or flash duration adjustment of the light
array. This can also be adjusted from the home display by press-
ing the • button.
Ext: Enables operation via remote sensor. Remote sensor must be
connected via bottom port and included cable to operate.
ShutDown: Activate a 10 minute auto shut off of the unit. If de-
activated, unit only turns off with a 2 second hold of the handle
trigger button.
Unit: Switch between Hz and FPM (flashes per minute).
Laser: Enables system speed to be detected and automatically
transferred over to the flash rate setting. This icon ( ) on the
home screen indicates the laser is detecting motion.
Flash Rate (Frequency Setting) in Internal Mode -
One function of a stroboscope is to provide a “stopped” image
of a rotating target when the flash rate of the stroboscope has
matched the rotational speed of the target object. The strobo-
scope will show a single image when the flash rate is set to a
lesser multiple of the true RPM (1/2,1/3,etc.) When the flash rate
is increased to a higher multiple (2,3,etc.), multiple images will
appear. To find the true RPM of the target object, begin at a higher
than estimated flash rate and reduce the rate to lower values until
only one stationary image appears.

Multiple/Divide by 2 Function - The flash rate can be doubled or
halved by x2 and 1/2 keys on the operation panel.
1. Doubling the flash rate(x2), Press x2 key to multiply the cur-
rent flash rate by a factor 2.
Note:
The use of the x2 key will have no effect when multiplica-
tion of the current flash would result in a value that exceeds the
maximum flash rate range. After the flash rate changes, it be-
comes the new value based on the set display resolution. There-
fore, the rate may likely not return to the original frequency, even
if the “1/2” key is pressed.
2. Halving the flash rate(1/2); Press “1/2” key to divide the current
flash rate by a factor of 2.
Note: The use of the 1/2 key will have no effect when the divi-
sion of the current flash rate would result in a value that goes
below the minimum flash rate.
