The Monarch 6204-012 Nova-Strobe dbx battery-powered digital
strobo with xenon flash tube, internal and external trigger
mode, and internal phase shift displays rate in FPM (flashes per
minute) or flashes per second (Hz). It is designed for motion
analysis, preventive maintenance, printing inspection, harmonics
analysis, and speed measurement of repetitive motion. Internal
and external trigger modes have a flash rate range of 30 to
20,000 FPM. Internal flash rates can be adjusted in 0.1 step
increments using the coarse/fine adjustment knob. A digital
microprocessor keeps readings accurate. Built-in multiply-by-2
and divide-by-2 push buttons allow the operator to distinguish
actual rpm from harmonic frequencies, and provides stop-motion
viewing beyond the 20,000 FPM limit. Tachometer mode measures
speed up to 250,000 rpm with external sensor (not included).
Separate transistor-transistor logic (TTL) input and output jacks
(1/8" phone) provide power to remote sensors and allow multiple
strobes to be daisy-chained to provide wider coverage. The xenon
flash tube has a 20 to 50 microsecond flash duration to provide
crisp images in brightly lit areas. Xenon flash tubes have
brighter light output and a shorter flash duration than LED
lights. Bright light output is required for quality images in
brightly lit areas, and shorter flash durations provide sharper
images, especially at high rates of speed. Continuous duty cycle
and built-in threaded allow the strobo to be ed
for long-term use without cool-down periods. Data storage and
recall for up to six user-selectable values and last measurement
memory are retained even after power-off. The strobo is
powered by 6V DC internal rechargeable batteries with an
operating time of approximately 60 minutes at 6000 FPM. It
includes a NIST Certificate of Calibration and a universal
charger with USA, U.K., AUS, and EURO wall plugs. Strobos
are used in a variety of settings including manufacturing,
printing, education, and photography.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest
point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D
is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.
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.
