Summary
This LED stroboscope is our latest new technology product,
which use America CREE high power LED lamps and have the
characteristics of wide measurement range, high brightness, long
life time, they can be used any time, any place. With convenient
operation, the build in lithium rechargeable batteries, single use
time is more than 12 hours. This stroboscope is used to measure
the motions of objects, when the strobe flash speed and
highspeed moving objects are in synchronous fast moving
objects and working status of all kinds of gears and rotors during
working. This stroboscope can be widely used in paper,
packaging, printing industries to inspect the high speed printing
process, ink color matching, die cutting, hole punching and and
folding quality. For textile industry, it can be used to detect the
spindle and thread speed on spindle machine and coiling
machine and inspect the working condition and status of the
mechanical knitting, weaving machine and sewing machine.

Notes for setting the flash rate.
One function of stroboscope is to provide a “stopped” image
of a rotating target when the flash rate of the stroboscope has
matched the rotational speed of the target object. The
stroboscope will also show a single image when the flash rate
or frequency is set to a lesser multiple of the true RPM(½,1/3,
etc. ) When the flash rate is increased to a high multiple(2, 3,
etc.), multiple images will appear. To find the true RPM of the
target object, reduce the flash rate to a lower multiple until
only one image appears. For more information regarding the
multiply / divide by 2 function, please see 4.3.5.

4.4.3.2 Delay angle setting(static delay angle setting)
As the period of the external input is 360°, the delay angle
can be set from 0° to 360°, by every 1°. Because the internal
calculation time is 60us, the actual delay time is as follows:
Delay angle setting/360° x period of external input + appox.

If the current period of external trigger input changes, the
time of the flash is not accurate, because the time is
calculated based on the previous measurement period.
If the current period of external trigger input is less than the
previous period and the next trigger input occurs before the
flash time, the delay angle setting is ignored and the unit

Note: The use of the x2 key will have no effect when
multiplication of current flash would result in a value that
exceeds the maximum flash rate of the unit.
After the flash rate(frequency) changes, it becomes the
new value based on the set display resolution.
Therefore, the frequency is likely not the original frequency,
even if the “½” key is passed after pressing the x2 key.
2) Having the flash rate(½)
Press “½” key to divide the current flash rate by a factor of

Note: The use of the 1/2 key will have no effect when the
division of current flash would result in a value that goes
below the minimum flash rate.
After the flash rate(frequency) changes, it becomes the
value based on the set display resolution.
Therefore, the frequency is likely not the original frequency,
even if the “½” key is passed after pressing the x2 key.
4.3.6 Phase shift(Angle)
Firstly, please press “SET” key 3times, then can enter this
mode.
When the rotation speed of the target object and the flash
rate of the unit become equal, the phase shift function can be
used to delay the flash so that the image will appear to rotate
incrementally. Phase shift angle can be increased or

4.4.3.1 Delay time setting(Dynamic continuous time delay
setting)
The delay signal of the external pulse input can be set to
incorporate with the unit flash, the delay range is 0-359ms.
The internal calculation time of the unit is 60ms, which
result in the actual delay time is 60ms more than the setting
delay time. The unit will begin flashing after the 1st trigger
pulse. See timing chart below [example]
Trigger: positive edge Delay time: 10ms
Flash delay time doesn’t depend on the time of an external
input, the unit flashes 10ms after receiving the signal.
If the period of the external input is less than the setting of
the delay time, the delay time is meaningless and the unit
flash delay is 0ms.
External pulse signal same as delay time will be set as 0ms.
Note: Because of the existence of a delay in internal
calculation, the unit flashes 60ms after receiving an external
signal input.
While in “External” trigger mode, press the “PHASE+,
PHASE-” key to select the delay time setting. Turn the dial to
set the delay time. Delay time will increase as the dial is

When the flash duration is lengthened, the brightness of the

may appear slightly out of focus. When the flash pulse
duration is shorted, the brightness will be decreased, while
the image of the target object will become more focused.
To change the flash pulse duration in either Internal or
External, first press the “RATIO” key. Once pressed, “Flash
time” will be indicated on the LCD and the current flash pulse
duration(ratio) will be displayed and will flash on and off. This
indicates that the flash pulse duration can now be modified.

Special instructions
There is no special requirement for the driven roller,
generally the driven roller should be in the vicinity of the
detected object, and has big friction with the detected object,
not easy to skid or slide.
After setting the parameters, generally the detected object
has advance or lag phenomenon. Adjust in this way: when in
“C” display mode, adjust the “PHASE+” or “PHASE-” fine-
