Page 15: Lamp Mode
ROS-P shown. 4.2 LAMP Mode For full me ac va on of the UV light source, the Nova-Pro UV365/ UV385 has a Lamp Mode that creates a bright, constant light for inspec on. Be aware that this mode uses considerably more ba ery power and that you should never look directly into the light source. -
Page 16: Laser Mode
4.3 LASER Mode The Laser Mode is only available when the Laser Module is installed. This mode uses the LASER to trigger the strobe flash and is similar to the External Input Mode. Laser icon will blink when Laser Mode is enabled and be on solid when trigger is pulled and laser is on. -
