By illuminating the rotating object with the DT-329, the moving object appears to remain still when the flashing rate of the DT-329 is equals the rotational speed of the target object. This allows inspection of rotating and moving parts, printed matter, labels, gears, shafts and others. Additionally, the target object can appear to rotate back or forth (frequency) by utilizing the phase shift function.
Product Inspection and Preparation 2.1 Confirmation of product packaging Confirm the following five parts in your DT-329 packaging: 1. One (1) LED linear stroboscope 2. One (1) External input connector (7 pins) SRCN6A16-7P [JAE] 3. One (1) External output connector (3 pins) 4.

4.3.5 Multiply / Divide by 2 Function The flash rate or frequency can be doubled or halved by the “x2” and “½” keys on the operation panel. 1) Doubling the flash rate (x2) Press “x2” key to multiply the current flash rate by a factor 2 until the max flash rate is reached. Operation Indication FLASH...
4.3.6 Phase Shift (Angle) Once "Frozen" virtual image is achieved via FPM=RPM, the phase shift function can advance or delay the flash so that the image appears to be rotating incrementally. Press “PHASE+” key or “PHASE-“ key to increment or decrement the phase shift angle by 3° . The display will show the cumulative angle of the phase shift.
** While in the flash pulse duration setting mode, if no manual changes are made to the DT-329 settings for 5 seconds the LCD display will return to a normal indication of each mode.
