4.3.2 PHA mode (INT) When the rotation (motion) cycle of a measured object matches with the strobe flash cycle, the measured object appears to stand still. Use the PHA mode in order to adjust the stop angle (position). The phase can be changed by 1° using dial within the range between 1° and 359° in the PHA mode. Press “UNIT”...
4.4 External synchronous emission ・External synchronous emission is the function to emit a strobe flash in synchronization with an external trigger pulse input. ・You can set which edge of the external trigger pulse triggers emission, the rising edge or falling edge. ・A timing (delay) from the external trigger pulse input with the strobe flash emission can be optionally set using time and angle.

4.4.2 PHA mode setting (EXT) Delay emission can be set within the input signal range between 27 and 3300 [fpm]. In the PHA mode, the phase from the external trigger pulse entry to strobe flash emission can be changed by 1° using the dial within the range between 1°...
4.5 Function mode Turn the power ON while pressing the “MODE” to enter the function mode. During the function mode, turn the dial (CW/CCW) to change the settings. And press “MODE” to save the setting and move to the next setting item. (F1⇒F2⇒F3⇒F4⇒F5⇒F6 end ) If the power is turned OFF in the middle of the function mode, the changed value will not be saved in the memory.

4.11 Lamp replacement The life of a xenon lamp is about 1200 hours when it is emitted at 1500 fpm each time. Although rotation speed is displayed, no flash is emitted. When the flash is intermittently emitted, this indicates the lamp must be replaced. Be sure to replace the lamp with the following steps.
Be sure to turn the power OFF. May result in electric shock Do not replace the battery near flammable materials. ① Remove the six screws on the bottom of the DT-3015P main unit, and take out the built-in battery. ② Remove the connector and battery fixing screws.
