MEASURING
1. Visually note a unique feature on the
object to be measured or physically
mark it with reflective tape or chalk.
2. Press to turn on the strobe. The
LED indicator blinks and the strobe
flashes at 3,000 FPM factory default
or previous power down value.
3. Set flash rate to maximum and aim
at the object. Press the ▼arrow until
the object appears frozen. To find true
rpm, press the ÷2 button, ▲or ▼
arrows, to adjust the flash rate until
the first time a single mark appears.
The flash rate changes more rapidly the longer the ▲or ▼arrow key is
held, then resets 1.5 seconds after it is released.
Advanced users: After releasing the ▲or ▼arrow, the numeric place of
the flashing digit indicates the rate of change. While the digit is flashing,
press the or arrows to move the numeric place of the flashing digit
higher or lower. Then press the ▲or ▼arrow to change the flash rate
using that increment.
4. Press to turn off the strobe (the display remains for two more
minutes). The strobe shuts off automatically after 10 minutes.

MEMORY (FPM and Hz units each have nine separate memory locations)
Saving Flash Rates in Memory
Turn on the strobe and synchronize the
flash rate with the moving object. Press and
hold MODE, then press MEM, a memory
location number appears briefly and the
flash rate is saved to that memory location.
When nine locations have been saved FUL appears on the display.
Memory Recall
Turn on the strobe. Press MEM to enter
memory mode and memory location ‘1’
appears at the top of the display. Press MEM
again to select the next location. If no flash
rates are stored, numbers do not appear.
Changing Memory Values
Select a memory location (see Memory Recall above). The black dot
indicates the stored flash rate matches the current flash rate. Use the
arrow keys to change the flash rate (the black dot disappears). To save
the new flash rate, press and hold MODE, then press MEM. The black dot
reappears and shows that the current flash rate is stored.
Clearing All Memory
Turn off the strobe. Press and hold the MODE
key, and then press the power switch . SEL
is displayed. Press and hold MODE, then press
MEM to display CLr. Press MEM again and
stored memory is cleared (CLr disappears in
three seconds). After memory is cleared the
strobe returns to default measuring mode
(3,000 FPM).

FLASH DURATION
Changing Flash Duration (increasing sharpness or brightness)
Flash duration default is F0, which is suitable
for most applications. However, images can
be sharpened by decreasing flash duration.
After synchronizing the flash rate with the
moving object, press and hold the MODE key,
then press the ▲or ▼arrows to select levels
F0, F1, F2, ... F9. As flash duration shortens
the image gets sharper and less bright. Longer
flash durations are brighter and less sharp.
Changing Default Flash Duration
F0 is the default, good for most applications.
To change, turn off the strobe. Press and hold
the MODE key, then press the power switch .
SEL is displayed, then press the ▲or ▼
arrows to select F0, F1, F2, ... F9. The selected
flash duration level becomes the default when
the strobe is powered on. Press to exit.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Auto Shut Off
After your stroboscope is turned ON, the instrument automatically powers
off after five minutes of non-use. To disable auto shut off, turn OFF the
strobe, press and hold MEM then press . The LED indicator flashes during
normal operation and remains steady when auto shut off is disabled. Turn
OFF the strobe to re-enable auto shut off.
Power Save Mode
While the power is ON, press and hold MODE, then press to enable
power save mode. L0 is displayed in the place of F0. The strobe operates
for approximately 12 hours at 6,000 FPM/rpm in power save mode.
To turn OFF power save mode press and hold MODE, then press .
Changing Flash Duration in Power Save Mode
When power save mode is enabled, L0, the
flash duration default, is displayed and is
suitable for most applications. However,
images can be sharpened by decreasing flash
duration.
After synchronizing the flash rate with the
moving object, press and hold the MODE key,
then press the ▲or ▼arrows to select levels
L0, L1, L2, ... L9. As flash duration shortens
the image gets sharper and less bright. Longer flash durations are brighter

The strobe’s flash rate corresponds to the
frequency of the input signal. The display
indicates this rate in flashes per minute.
