1. Overview

1.1.Description

Strobe controllers are used for strobing LED illuminations in machine vision applications. Very

high-power pulses are aligned to external trigger with high accuracy. Precise current overdrive

and short exposure time on camera are used for acquiring clear images of fast moving objects.

User adjustable output voltage provides high efficiency and low power consumption.

The IPSC and HPSC strobe controllers provide repeatable intensity controlof LED lighting, they

include the power supply, intensity control, timing and triggering functions required for machine

vision systems. LED lighting needs a constant current supply, as small variation in voltage can

cause large variations in light output.

1.2.Precautions

To maintain optimal working temperature, mount the device on a metal surface.

Thermal generation depends on the output parameters used by the controller.

Do not attempt to disassemble this device, there are sensitive parts inside.

Tampering with it could lead to permanent damage. Further, the devices can

develop high voltages and loads, which can be a serious risk to health.

Do not expose this device to rain or moisture. This device is not intended to work

under wet conditions.

Handle this device with the maximum care. Do not throw it, there are fragile parts

inside.

Operate these devices only with the type of power source that meets the

specifications indicated on the Strobe Controller and within the documentation.

Operating it outside of the specifications can cause permanent damage. Further

electrical specifications can be found in the individual Mechanical and Electrical

specifications for each model.

LED illumination should never be connectedor disconnectedto the strobe controller

when the power output is enabled. Always turn the device off when changing LED

illumination.

SMARTEK Vision | User Manual –LED Strobe Controller Family | Doc. v2.2.1

1.3.Cabling Recommendation

All our strobe controllers are designed to operate with a large variety of LED illuminations and

light heads. Even if one of our focuses is the maximum performance at every setup, the laws

of physics limit the performance when operating a wide range of illuminations with inadequate

cabling quality. The result can be bad signal shape, long signal rise times and oscillation.

Therefore, it is recommended to follow some general rules for cable selection:

- Select cables as short as possible, no longer than 3m

- Use high cable grades

- Respect appropriate wire cross sections depending on the current

- Shielded twisted pair cables can further improve the signal

For longer cable lengths, it is further recommended to raise the voltage of the illumination. This

can be realized by using series LED arrays requiring higher voltage together with a device from

our IPSC series, providing up to 200V on output.

following chapters describe the precision of different attributes over the set output current per

channel.

2.2.2. Minimum Delay Time (HPSC1 v2, HPSC2, HPSC4)

The minimum delay timefrom trigger to output signal depends on theset output current. Minimal

delay time rises with number of enabled channels and with decreasing of output current. The

specified minimum (Min.) delay is reached at the specified maximum current for the appropriate

range, while the longest (Max.) delay is effective at the lowest current in that range.

Table 4 below shows the corresponding values, the ranges are the same as in chapter 2.2.1.

The relation between current and min/max delay time is decreasing exponential function.

Minimal delay times are shown for maximum numbers of enabled channels on specific device

and for less enabled channels, these times are lower. In External Trigger,these times are

bigger.
