All applications suited to a general purpose, phase shifting When charging, the strobe will indicate CHRGE in the bottom right of the stroboscope (Nova-Strobe pbx) display. The recharger will fast charge the batteries for about 4-5 hours and then trickle charge the batteries. The Nova-Strobe vbx can also be used as a highly accurate, remote electronic digital tachometer for direct measurement of RPM/RPS (speed) without Allow the recharger to charge the batteries until the display shows... - Page 7 The enclosure contains control electronics to properly and safely charge the On Target Indicator for Tachometer Mode and Remote batteries. Never remove the batteries from the enclosure and attempt to Sensor in External Mode charge externally.

See Figures 2 and 3 for To change the lamp: connector connection detail. Push apart the two tabs on the side of the reflector housing and remove the lens using a small screwdriver to help pry one tab and Common lift the lens.

NOTE: When using external sensors that are powered by the Nova- when using a delayed flash mode. The Nova-Strobe vbx has an “Input Blanking” Strobe vbx, e.g. Remote Optical Sensor (ROS-P), the sensor feature to allow it to ignore this false trigger. must be plugged in before the stroboscope is turned on, or Even with the Input Blanking, large delays cannot be obtained using an ROS the remote sensor may not be powered up. -

In the Internal Mode the knob adjusts the flash rate. In the External to an area above any split line, to the bearing cap. Note the phase Input Mode an external signal is used to trigger the flash and the knob has angle at each of these locations. - Page 13 This section outlines the preparations and use of the strobe light in order the reading on the display to the maximum or minimum values allowed. to be assured the measurements you are making are correct. This feature is useful for checking harmonics in the internal flashing mode.
