Clockwise: Increase
Counter-clockwise: Decrease
Forsmalladjustments,turnthedialslowly.For largeadjustments,rotatethedialquickly.
Theflashrate and resolutiondiffersaccordingtomeasuringrange.Refertosection4.5.1fordetails.
Notesforsettingtheflash rate
One function of a stroboscope is to provide a “Frozen” virtual image of a rotating target once the flash rate
of the stroboscope matches the rotational speed of the target object (FPM=RPM). The stroboscope will
also show a single image when the flash rate or frequencyis set to a lesser multiple of the RPM (1/2, 1/3,
etc.) Whenthe flashrateis increased toahighmultiple (2,3,etc.),multiple images will appear.Tofind the
true RPM of the target object, begin by lowering the FPM to lower multiples until only a single image
appears.Formoreinformationregardingthemultiply/divide by2 function, pleasesee4.3.5.

1) Doublingtheflashrate(x2)
Press“x2”keytomultiplythecurrentflashrate byafactor 2untilthemaxflashrateis reached.
Operation Indication
Pressandrelease
Aftertheflash rate(frequency) changes,it becomesthe new value based ontheset displayresolution. (See
section 5. Specifications) Therefore, the frequency is not to return to the original frequency, even if “½”key is
pressedafterpressing“x2”key.
2) Halvingtheflashrate(½)
Press “½” keyto dividethecurrentflashrate by a factor of 2untiltheminflashrate isreached.
Operation Indication
Pressandrelease
After the flash rate (frequency) changes, it becomes the value based on the set display resolution. (See
section 5. Specifications) Therefore, the frequency is likely not to return to the original frequency even if
“x2”keyispressedafterpressing“½”key.
