The Monarch 6235-010 PLS pocket LED strobo has internal and
external modes, time delay, phase shift, and a NIST Certificate
of Calibration, and provides inspection and speed measurement. It
is designed for motion analysis, preventive maintenance, printing
inspection, and speed measurement of repetitive motion. The
7-array LED light source has a light output of 1800 lumens at
6000 flashes per minute (FPM) eight inches from the lens.
Adjustable flash duration of 0.1 to 18 degrees or 0.5 to 2500
microseconds. LED lights have a longer bulb life and require less
energy than xenon flash tubes and can extend the battery life of
battery-powered strobos, have a lower heat output, and
quieter operation when used in audio testing. The internal flash
mode has a range of 30 to 300,000 FPM and 0.5 to 5,000 hertz (Hz)
and has an accuracy of 0.005% of setting, or + or - last digit.
The external flash mode has a range of 0 to 300,000 FPM, 0 to
5000 Hz and accuracy of + or - 0.005% of reading, or + or - last
digit. A NIST Certificate of Calibration ensures accuracy.
Built-in multiply-by-2 and divide-by-2 functionality allows the
operator to distinguish true RPM from harmonics. Separate 3.5mm
(1/8") transistor-transistor logic (TTL) input and output jacks
provide power to remote sensors and allow multiple strobes to be
daisy-chained to provide wider coverage. Tachometer mode,
available for use while the strobo is in external mode, has
a measuring range of 30 to 300,000 rpm (requires remote sensor,
not included). Phase shift of 0.1 to 18 degrees of rotation and
time delay of 0.5 to 2500 microseconds allow operator to manually
adjust the focal point of the object to any point in the rotation
without moving the trigger point. A continuous duty and
integrated 1/4" - 20 UNF (Unified Fine) thread enables the
strobo to be used continuously over the life of the battery.
Five user-selectable flash rates can be programmed into the
device and recalled after powering off. The strobo is
powered by 3.6V DC internal rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
with an average run time of 5 to 6 hours between charges. The
strobo includes universal 115/230V AC battery charger with
interchangeable wall plugs, a NIST Certificate of Calibration,
and instructions. It is RoHS compliant and CE marked.
Strobos are used in a variety of settings including
manufacturing, printing, education, and photography.

Strobos evaluate the functionality of fast-moving rotational
objects, such as belts, fan blades, and other machine parts. They
are used in industries such as manufacturing, entertainment,
high-speed printing, wood and metal turning, and in education and
research settings. Strobos have a flashing light (strobe)
that, when directed at a moving object, makes the object appear
to be stopped or moving in slow motion. This enables the operator
to evaluate machine performance without stopping the machine.
Strobos use either xenon flash tubes or LED light sources.
The strobe is triggered either internally, which allows the
operator to manually adjust the flash rate, or externally and
automatically by a peripheral sensor. Multiply-by-2 (2/4 or 2X)
and divide-by-2 (1/2) functionality enables the operator to
verify the actual revolutions per minute (RPM) and to distinguish
true RPM from harmonics. Phase shift adjusts the flash delay in
degrees of a full rotation, and time delay adjusts the flash
delay in seconds or fractions of a second. Input and output
features enable the operator to use peripheral sensors to trigger
flash rates, to perform tachometer operations, or to daisy-chain
strobos.
Monarch Instrument manufactures devices such as tachometers,
strobos, data loggers, and leak detectors. The company,
founded in 1977 and headquartered in Amherst, NH, meets
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard
9001:2008.
