Monarch Instrument Nova-Pro 300 LED Stroboscopes/Tachometers
We have combined all the features of our hand held LED stroboscopes together with a full function laser tachometer to create a compact, ergonomic and extremely powerful two in one predictive maintenance tool. The stroboscope light source is made up of twelve LED’s which are extraordinarily bright yet extremely efficient allowing cool continuous operation and extremely long battery life (up to 19 hours on a single charge). Continuous operation is also possible with the optional AC adapter.
Nova-Pro™ 100: Designed for simple stroboscopic stop motion inspection and RPM measurement applications.The integral laser module is an optional item that can be added to make the 100 a full featured tachometer.
Nova-Pro™ 300: Has all the features of the 100 described above. It includes the integral laser module for tachometer mode or strobe trigger mode and adds a high contrast inverse blue LCD display with back light and touch sensitive number pad for setting flash rates quickly, ultra high intensity LED’s for even more light output, memory for up to 10 preset flash rates, input and output jacks for external sensors or pulse repeater output and NIST calibration certificate.
The Nova-Pro 300 is available as a stand alone battery powered or AC powered device. It can also be purchased in Kit form which adds a protective die cut foam lined carry case. "Select" model above to view the exact contents and price of each available model.
