Wavelength: 650 nm, output: 1 mW. Risk of Injury! Flashing lights can cause retina damage: The stroboscope QB-LED and QBS-LED versions are fitted with 40/118 LEDs respectively. These produce potentially dangerous optical radiation, which can cause retina damage. Do not stare directly at the light and never direct it at people or animals.

3.0 SETUP Connectors (see Fig. 1) Marking Term Description CHARGE Charging Socket Device is charged using a charger INPUT Input socket Input for external tripper/24 V power supply Set-up steps Please follow the steps below when setting up the device: 1.
4.0 OPERATION Note: This device comes in two versions. • QB-LED (40 LEDs, no laser) • QBS-LED (118 LEDs, with laser) Both versions are available in Standard and Pro modes (see section 4.3, Standard mode and section 4.4, Pro mode).
Standard Mode NOTE: Not all of the setting shown in Fig 2 are available in Standard Mode. Position of the Adjustable Description Selector Switch Parameters — Device is switched off FREQUENCY Frequency selection; FPM: flashes per minute - Turning the knob while pushing it simultaneously, the adjustment increment is effected in steps of 100.

Position of the Adjustable Description Display Selector Switch Parameters MENU PHASE deg: Delay setting between the trigger signal 0…359 and flash (in degrees relative to the frequency Phase sift (PHASE in deg) Phase shift setting (in degrees, relative to the frequency) between the trigger signal and flash. This value allows a fixed angle to be set between the trigger signal and flash.

Position of the Adjustable Description Display Selector Switch Parameters (10) MENU INT /EXT Internal /external trigger How to select an internal / external trigger 1. Turn the selector switch (E) to the MENU position. 2. Select the INT / EXT parameter by turning the rotary/push knob (D). 3.
Pro Mode Follow the steps below to access the pro mode: 1. Turn the selector switch (E) from OFF to the required position while simultaneously holding the rotary/push knob (D) until the PRO notification appears in the display. 2. When the Pro mode is activated, a P appears in the bottom right area of the display NOTE: If you have selected settings in Pro Mode and then switch the device off, these settings will ONLY be active when the device is switch back on if pro mode is activated.

5.0 DETERMINING THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF OBJECTS The stroboscope can be used as a digital revolution indicator to determine an object’s actual rotational speed and/or the frequency of cyclical movements. The stroboscope does this by visually “freezing” the object’s movement and then taking a reading of the rotational speed or frequency from the LCD display.

Which is correct? To determine the fan’s actual rotational speed, one of the ventilator vanes is attached with a marking and the test is repeated. The orientation marking confirms that the images at 3,300, 1,650 and 825 rpm are harmonic multiple images.
