1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Checkline® LS-9-12000 Linear Stroboscope.
It uses the principle of stroboscopic lighting to create an illusion of stopped motion,
allowing detailed inspection of objects moving at high speeds.
NOTE: When using a stroboscope, it is important to remember that while objects may
appear to become motionless, they are, in fact, still moving. Exercise proper care to
prevent injury.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before operating your stroboscope. If you
have any questions not answered by this manual, call your local supplier, or visit our
web chat interface at www.checkline.com for full product support.
1.1 Package Contents
LS-9-12000 Stroboscope is shipped fully assembled in a metal enclosure. Your package
should contain the following items:
• Stationary stroboscope
• Flash tube, factory installed
• Operating instruction
• Connector (1) for trigger input and supply
After unpacking, please examine your stroboscope for signs of mishandling during
shipping. If damage has occurred, contact Electromatic before attempting to plug in the
instrument. Notify your shipping carrier immediately for damage claim instructions.
2.0 Safety
LS-9-12000 stroboscopes operate at dangerously high voltages. Disconnect
the unit from the power supply and wait two minutes for the capacitor to
discharge before replacing the ash tube. Any service beyond ash tube
replacement is not recommended.
• Do not look directly at the emitted light; it can damage your eyes. It
may also trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy.
• Flash tubes are lled with high-pressure gas. When handling the
ash tube always always wear safety glasses and protective gloves.
• Do not allow inammable liquids and water enter the stroboscope.
• When operating the stroboscope with the front screen facing
upwards, the screen can heat up.
• The stroboscope must not be used in explosion hazard areas.

6.0 Flash Tube Replacement
1. Switch off the LS-9-12000 and remove the power supply plug.
Wait two minutes for the capacitor to discharge before continuing.
2. Loosen the six (6) T10-TORX screws on the side of the unit with the
yellow label.
NOTE: Do not open the
screws on the other side of the
unit. They are not T10-TORX
type.
3. Slide front glass out laterally.
4. Using a clean cloth, carefully
remove the old ashbulb.
5. Pick up new ashbulb with a
clean cloth (free of dust and
grease) and insert into the two
retaining clips. Orient the tube
so that the trigger wire can
be easily attached to the
terminal clamp screw.
Ensure that the ashtube is
correctly positioned inthe socket.
IMPORTANT: When the ashtube is
correctly positioned, the extra length
of wire will be closest to the RIGHT
retaining clip and near the terminal
clamp screw.
6. Re-insert the front screen and replace the screws.
NOTE: Never operate the stroboscope without a front screen or with a
defective front screen.
High Voltage!
Use only the manufacturer’s original ashtubes.
Never touch the ashtube to your bare skin.
Only use the device with an undamaged front lens tted.

5.0 Operation
1. Position the stationarystroboscope
and connect the trigger input signal
and supply voltage to the sockets as
outlined in Section 4.0.
2. Switch the stroboscope on. The red
LED will light, indicating that the
unit is ready for use.
3. As soon as the trigger signal is
applied, the strobe will start to ash
with the trigger frequency.
4. If the ashing frequency coincides with the movement frequency, a stationary
image will appear.
NOTE: A stationary image will not only appear with an identical ashing
frequency, but also with multiples and fractions of the ashing frequency.
5. Switching between sockets 1 and 2:
Use the rocker switch located between the two sockets to choose into which
of the two sockets a trigger signal is to be fed.
Please make sure that an input signal is actually present at the
socket selected.
6. Setting the brightness:
Use the rotary knob marked with SHARP/BRIGHT and the
symbols to adjust the brightness to your needs.
Turn to the left, towards (SHARP): Brightness is reduced.
Turn to right, towards (BRIGHT): Brightness is increased.

4.0 Assembly and Connection
Point the stroboscope at the object to be observed.
On the bottom of the stroboscope are 3 threaded
holes, which allow you to afx it to the equipment
to be observed or a stand (available as an option):
• Center = 1 x 1/4” threaded hole
• Right and left, with a total distance of
60mm = 2 x M5 threaded holes
The stationary stroboscope has two identical
assigned sockets (located on the back of the unit) for the combined input of trigger
signal and supply voltage. The assignment of plug contacts is shown in Figure 1.
CAUTION: Please make the
connections in accordance with the
wiring diagram (Fig. 1). The trigger
input is potential-free. The potential-
free input is suitable for PNP and
NPN signals. A matching plug for
these input sockets is included with
the stroboscope.
RECOMMENDATION: Use
shielded cable to connect the trigger
signal.
CAUTION: Do not trigger the
stroboscope with signals above
12,500 FPM.
4.1 Typical connection examples
Please take connection examples
from Figures 2 to 5. Note that you
will need optional accessories for
some of the examples (stationary
stroboscope, AC Adapter, sensor,
etc.)

as an option) or the equipment being
observed.
NOTE: When using the LS-9-12000 stroboscope without a stroboscope control unit,
the stroboscope ashes with the trigger signal of the connected equipment. This signal
cannot be inuenced without a stroboscope control unit.
