Monarch Instrument Nova-Strobe PBL LED Portable Stroboscopes
The Monarch Nova-Strobe LED family of rugged industrial stroboscopes provide an extremely bright, uniform light output for performing stop motion diagnostic inspection and RPM measurements. The twelve LED light source is extremely efficient which means long battery life and continuous cool operation. A wide operating range of 30-500,000 flashes per minute covers all applications.
The top of the line PBL has all the features of the DBL and adds external phase delay, time delay and virtual RPM mode. The PBL will also run continuously, 24/7 with the power supply/re-charger. The PBL is available stand-alone or as a kit.
PBL Stroboscope includes:
- Stroboscope with universal 115/230 power supply/re-charger with interchangeable wall plugs, operation manual and NIST certificate.
PBL Stroboscope Kit includes:
- Stroboscope with universal 115/230 power supply/re-charger with interchangeable wall plugs, operation manual, NIST certificate and rugged high density foam lined water tight carry case.
Features:
- Flash rates from 30 to 500,000 flashes per minute
- Diagnostic inspection and RPM checks
- Digital LCD backlit display
- Tripod mounting bushing (1/4-20) in handle
- CE marked and RoHS compliant
- Flash rate may be displayed in Flashes per Minute (FPM) or Flashes per Second (Hz)
- Adjustable brightness control
- Lightweight Industrial design
- 12 button keypad makes entering flash rates extremely quick
- Individual input and output TTL jacks (1/8 inch phone) provides power to remote sensors and allows "daisy-chaining" of multiple strobes. A Tachometer mode allows accurate speed measurement up to 500,000 RPM using external sensors
- Brightest portable LED strobes available
