1.0 OVERVIEW

The Nova-Strobe Deluxe DBL and Phaser PBL LED (Light Emitting Diode)

are rugged portable battery powered LED Stroboscopes used for inspection

and to stop motion to determine the speed of rotating objects. The units have

a pistol grip with lockable trigger switch and wrist strap for comfortable

hand held operation or they may be mounted on a tripod using the integral

¼ -20 UNC thread at the base of the handle. Although the DBL and PBL

are similar, the PBL has the additional ability to phase shift the image with

respect to an external signal and can animate the image in slow motion

rotation for inspection purposes. The PBL can also run continuously from

an external power supply.

1.1 LED Strobe Control

Panel

The Deluxe and Phaser LED

Strobes have a two line backlit

alpha-numeric liquid crystal

display (LCD) and a 12 key

keypad enables the user to

simply enter data and control

the operation of the unit. The

keys have dual functions – the

primary function is shown by

the black printing on the blue

background on the top half of

the key. The secondary function

is as a numeric keypad and the numerics are shown against a white

background on the bottom half of the key – 0 to 9, period and ENTER. The

LCD display has several icons which will be explained later in this manual.

1.2 Modes of Operation

The stroboscope has two basic modes of operation – INTERNAL and

EXTERNAL.

1.2.1 Internal Mode

The strobe is in the Internal Mode when nothing is plugged into the

input jack or when manually set using the INPUT button. In the

internal mode the strobe generates its own timing signals and the

users can enter the ash rate using several different methods – see

Section 3.1.

1.2.2 External Mode

In the External Input Mode the user can’t make any ash rate

adjustments with the knob. The ash rate is a function of the input

signal. This mode is used to synchronize the ash to an external event

(for example, from an optical sensor) to stop or freeze motion. The

ash will be triggered on the rising or falling edge (menu selectable)

of the external input pulse. The strobe is in the External Input Mode

whenever there is a plug in the input jack. When the strobe is in the

External Input Mode, EXT will be displayed.

When an external input is applied to the unit and the strobe is put in the

Tachometer Mode, the unit will read the signal from the external input

(sensor) and display the reading on the LCD display without ashing

the lamp. The strobe will not ash in the Tach (Tachometer) Mode.

1.2.3 Charging Mode

The Charging Mode is when the strobe has the battery recharger

plugged into it. The strobe will continuously display the state of the

battery charge while being recharged.

2.0 GETTING STARTED

The Stroboscope may be hand held or mounted on a tripod or other user

supplied bracket using the ¼-20 UNC bushing at the base of the handle.

2.1 Power

The LED Strobe is battery powered and has internal rechargeable

batteries. The unit should be charged before use (see Section 5.0). The

actual operating time of the stroboscope depends on the ash pulse width.

Narrower ash widths increase the operating time. Note that the DBL strobe

will not operate from the recharger supplied with the unit. The PBL will

run continuously from the supplied AC powered charger (PSC-PBXU).

To turn on the stroboscope, depress and hold the trigger. The trigger may

be locked in position using the side locking button. To lock the stroboscope

on, depress the trigger as far as it will go and then press the locking button.

Once the locking button is set you may release the trigger and the trigger

will be held in place. To unlock the stroboscope, simply depress the trigger

and then release.

NOTE: Unit must power down completely (OFF will be displayed and

then disappear) before unit will power on again. This is normal

operation. Wait 2 seconds before turning the unit back on again.

2.2 Input / Output Connections

The strobe has input and output jacks on the left side of the stroboscope.

These can be used for external triggering or synchronization (daisy-

chaining two or more strobes). These jacks accept 1/8” (3.5mm) phone

plugs (input - stereo, output - mono). The input and output signals are TTL

compatible. See Figures 2 and 3 for connector connection detail.

Figure 3 Output Connector Detail (Mono plug)

The input jack (pointing into socket) enables an external signal to

trigger the strobe. Inserting a plug into the input jack will automatically

put the strobe into the external mode. The INPUT button can be used to

toggle between External Input Mode and Internal Mode. When the plug is

removed, the strobe will be put back into the Internal Mode. The polarity

of the input pulse can be set in the MENU options. In the external mode

the knob cannot be used to change the ash rate.

With no external input, the output jack (pointing away from socket)

provides a TTL compatible pulse from the strobe’s internal oscillator.

If an external input is applied, the output pulse is in sync with the input

pulse. This output pulse may be used to trigger a second stroboscope

synchronously to illuminate larger areas. Many strobes can be “daisy

chained”. The output jack of one strobe is connected to the input jack of

the next strobe causing all the strobes to ash together and be controlled

by the rst strobe in the chain. The polarity of the output pulse can be set

in the MENU options.

3.0 LED STROBE OPERATION

3.1 Adjusting the Flash Rate - RPM

There are several ways to adjust the ash rate of the Strobe:

3.1.1 Using the Knob

The ash rate can be adjusted by turning the knob on the side of the

unit – counter clockwise to increase the ash rate and clockwise to

decrease the ash rate. The knob is rate sensitive, the faster you turn

the knob the greater the change in ash rate. The smallest adjustment

is to add or subtract one from the least signicant (right most) digit

on the display.

3.1.2 Using the Keypad

It is possible to enter the required ash rate as a number

by entering the value using the keypad as you would with

a calculator. Press the NUMber key shown right followed

by the numeric keys representing the ash rate (eg 1234),

using the secondary key functions – numbers 0 to 9 and the

period, then press the ENTER button. Note: The system

will round the display to the nearest least signicant digit displayed.

If the display has no decimal places and you enter 1234.6 the display

will show 1235 and the strobe will ash at 1234.6 ashes per minute.

3.1.3 Decade Adjustment

The ash rate can be adjusted in decade steps eg: 1, 10, 100

etc. by pressing the button shown right. This will start a

digit on the display blinking. If the knob is turned this digit

will increment or decrement with rollover and roll under features.

Each time the button is pressed the blinking digit moves one

position to the right, the decade decreases by 10 until the digits stop

blinking. Pressing the button again will cause the left most digit

to start blinking.

To exit the decade adjustment mode while a digit is blinking press

any key other than the button.

3.1.4 Multiply or Divide By 2

The strobe ash rate can be instantly doubled (x2) or halved

(÷2) by pressing the x2 and ÷2 buttons shown right. This

is useful in determining actual rotational speed. Refer to

the section on speed measurement – Section 4.0. Note that

if doubling or halving the ash rate will cause the strobe

to exceed its capability, the display will show OVER or

UNDER respectively and the ash rate will remain at the current

ash value.

3.1.5 Fixed Increment N Adjustment

The strobe ash rate can be incremented or decremented

in xed increments. To do this, adjust the ash rate to the

required adjustment value, say 300, which we will refer to

as N. Then press the ±N button shown right (Note: – N is

the displayed value at the time the button is pressed). The display will

show ALT in the bottom left hand corner which indicates the knob is

in the ALTernate function mode. Turning the knob counterclockwise
