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:...
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.
(where n = 2, 3, 4, etc.). This is illustrated in figure 2, where the resulting light pulse train is shown for a frequency below- and above 175 Hz. Figure 2: Trigger input pulse train and the resulting light output frequency. HUYGENS OPTICS CS-2/3 camera strobe manual V01...
Figure 3. terminal and connection cable numbering. When using a Huygens Optics signal and power distribution unit, the second 5-pin XLR connector can be connected directly to one of the strobe outputs of the distribution unit. When the 12V power is correctly connected, the green LED on the back side of the device will light up.

(Fig. 7) The type of Fig.6. remove front screws mounting is specific for a camera. Please contact Huygens Optics on information as to which mount to use with your camera. 4) Make sure the lens has a free view through the front protective window.
Connection to the Huygens Optics Camera interface Connection of the units to the to the Huygens Optics Camera Interface is straight forward and is shown in figure 11. It requires a cable with XLR connectors on both sides, one connecting to the unit and one to the back side of the Camera Interface.
2 outputs) using standard strobe cables (HO-STCA.001) When using the Huygens Optics Camera Interface, the power supply to the units as well as the trigger pulses from a camera or external source (optical of inductive pick-up element) will be routed correctly.
The device can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a soap solution or isopropanol. Aggressive solvents such as acetone or thinner should never be used, since they can damage the device surface and the transmission quality of the lenses. HUYGENS OPTICS CS-2/3 camera strobe manual V01...
4 and 24V. Device flashing but very dimly: 1) Power supply voltage too low, should be 12 V 2) Internal electronics failure: please contact Huygens Optics. Device flashing at correct level but not correctly timed: 1) Check polarity of the trigger connections.
