The DT-326B is a portable, light-weight stroboscope utilizing su-
per bright CREE High Powered LED lamps. The DT-326B’s LED
array provides a bright, stable strobe light over a wide measure-
ment range with a lifetime far exceeding xenon lit stroboscopes.
Containing a rechargeable lithium battery, a single charge can
last up to a full 12 hours of operation. The DT-326B is designed for
speed and frequency measurements in motion and vibration anal-
ysis. It is ideal for predictive and preventive maintenance appli-
cations such as: motors, shafts, roto-gravure printing, extruders,
blow molding, wire lettering and striping, engraving, pulse jets,
water jets, fans, cams, gear teeth, belt inspections, fuel injectors,
vibration analysis, audio speaker analysis, spindle spinning, cut-
ting blade timing and sharpness, plus many more in the printing,
packaging, textile, automotive, cable, mining, steel, chemical, op-
tical, medical and shipbuilding industries.

Use in flammable environments is prohibited. Use in this manner may
result in fire or explosive.
Don’t look directly into the LED light Source. This may result in eye in-
jury.
Don’t use or store in the following environments. Direct sunshine con-
densation, dust or caustic.
Do not alter, or modify of improperly. Such action may cause damage
and void warranty.
Operate with 0-35°C (32-95°F), 35-85% RH. Use outside of this range
may alter operation of the unit.
Case may become excessively hot when used continuously for more
than 2 hours. Mount unit on a tripod or other fixed device.

Operation Panel
1. POWER: Power on and off.
2. MODE: Select mode of operation: Internal/External/
Parameter Settings
3. SET: Scroll through parameter settings, Store setting values.
4. x2: Multiplies the flash rate/frequency by a factor of 2.
5. 1/2: Divides the flash rate/frequency by a factor of 2.
6. RATIO: Adjusts flash duration (flash pulse width) in Internal/
External modes.
7. “+”: Advance image forward 3 degrees at a time in internal
mode. In parameter setting mode, adjusts setting values.
8. “-”: Retard image backwards 3 degrees at a time in internal
mode. In parameter setting mode, adjusts setting values.
9. Dial: Set flash rate or frequency. CW: Increase flash rate/fre-
quency. CCW: Decrease flash rate/frequency. (Turn dial quickly
to drastically change value; Turn dial slowly to change value
by 1 digit.) In parameter setting mode, CW or CCW rotation
changes the setting value.
