    The CamStrobe versions CS-2 and CS-3 can be identified by the name plate located on the back side of the unit. The name plate also contains the serial number of the unit. Please note the serial number of the unit here for future reference and in the case of communication with Huygens Optics. TYPE:...
  • Page 5: Product Description

    Product description Function The Huygens Optics CamStrobes (CS-2/3) are LED flash light sources with variable light pulse duration (5-200µs). They are intended for use with modern digital inspection cameras. The units require a power supply of 12V DC. To set off the individual flashes, the unit also requires a trigger pulse in the range of 4-24V. The trigger pulse is input is galvanically separated from the device by means of an optocoupler.

    WARNING: Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself, since the circuitry in the device temporarily deliver high peak currents with a total of up to 60 Amperes. Always refer to Huygens Optics for repairs and spare parts. Incorrectly executed repairs can lead to personal injury and damage of the unit.
