1.0 OVERVIEW
All descriptions in this manual apply to both the “basic” battery powered
(bbx) and “basic” AC mains powered (bax) digital stroboscopes except
where noted.
1.1
Display Panel / Definition of Buttons
The display panel consists of
a backlighted liquid crystal
display with six numeric
digits on top and five
alphanumeric digits on the
bottom, which indicate
modes, flash rates, etc. (see
Figure 1).
Additional information
displayed include:

E-1
2.0 PREPARATION FOR USE
The Strobe may be hand held or mounted on a tripod or other user supplied
bracket using the ¼-20 UNC bushing at the base of the handle.
2.1
Power
The AC powered strobe must have its power cord plugged into an AC
outlet (115Vac or 230Vac).
The battery powered strobe has internal rechargeable batteries. The
unit should be charged before use (see section 6.0). The actual operating
time of the stroboscope depends on the flash rate and duty cycle of
operation. Slower flash rates (below 4,000 FPM) increase the operating
time. Note that the strobe will not operate from the recharger supplied
with the unit.
3.0 OPERATION
To turn on the stroboscope, depress and hold the trigger. The trigger may be
locked in position using the side locking button. To lock the stroboscope
on, depress the trigger as far as it will go and then press the locking button.
Once the locking button is set you may release the trigger and the trigger will
be held in place. To unlock the stroboscope, simply depress the trigger and
then release.
To change the flash rate:
With the power on, turn the knob counter clockwise to increase the flash
rate and clockwise to decrease it. The knob is velocity sensitive. Turn the
knob slowly to have each “click” is equal to 1 FPM. Turning the knob more
quickly will adjust the FPM by larger steps. When adjusting flash rate,

quickly turn the knob (or use the x2 or ÷2 buttons) to coarsely change the
FPM. Then slowly turn the knob for fine adjustments.
NOTE:
6.3
There are maximum and minimum values in each mode beyond
which you cannot adjust. If you are adjusting the rate and you
reach a value which on the next increment would exceed the
maximum flash rate, the display will not increment. The same is
true if you try to adjust the flash rate below the minimum flash
rate.
To multiply or divide the current flash rate by 2:
In addition to the knob, there are two buttons on the display panel marked
x2 and ÷2. This enables the user to instantly double or halve the reading on
the display to the maximum or minimum values allowed. This feature is
useful for checking harmonics in the internal flashing mode.
3.1
Power Up Features
When the strobe is powered up it will remember the last settings.
Press and hold the x2 button, then turn on the strobe by depressing
the trigger switch. This will turn on all the display segments for two
seconds or until you release the button. It will then show the software
revision, “REV x.x” and then go through a display diagnostic.
Press and hold the ÷2 button, then turn on the strobe by depressing
the trigger switch. This will restore the factory programmed presets.
E-3
4.0 USING THE STROBOSCOPE TO MEASURE
RPM
The primary use for a stroboscope is to stop motion for diagnostic inspection
purposes. However the stroboscope can be used to measure speed (in
RPM / RPS). In order to do this several factors need to be considered. First,
the object being measured should be visible for all 360° of rotation (e.g. The
end of a shaft). Second, the object should have some unique part on it, like
a bolt, key way or imperfection to use as a reference point. If the object
being viewed is perfectly symmetrical, then the user needs to mark the
object with a piece of tape or paint in a single location to be used as a
reference point. Look only at the reference point.
If the speed of rotation is within the range of the stroboscope, start at the
highest flash rate and adjust the flash rate down. At some point you will
stop the motion with only a single reference point of the object in view.
Note that at a flash rate twice the actual speed of the image you will see two
images (reference points). As you approach the correct speed you may see
three, four or more images at harmonics of the actual speed. The first
SINGLE image you see is the true speed. To confirm the true speed, note
the reading and adjust the stroboscope to exactly half this reading, or just
press the ÷2 button. You should again see a single image (which may be
phase shifted with respect to the first image seen).
For example, when viewing a shaft with a single key way you will see one
stationary image of the key way at the actual speed and at 1/2,1/3,1/4, etc,
of the actual speed. You will see 2 images of the key way at 2 times the
actual speed, 3 key way at 3 times, etc. The Flashes Per Minute (FPM)
equals the shaft’s Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) at the highest flash
rate that gives only one stationary image of the key way.

Example: object rotating at 2500 RPM
If the speed is outside the full scale range of the stroboscope (10,000 FPM),
it can be measured using the method of harmonics and multipoint calculation.
Start at the highest flash rate and adjust the flash rate down. You will
encounter multiple images so be aware of these. Note the flash rate of the
first SINGLE image you encounter, call this speed “A”. Continue decreasing
the flash rate until you encounter a second SINGLE image. Note this speed
as “B”. Continue decreasing the speed until you reach a third SINGLE
image at speed “C”.
For a two point calculation the actual speed is given by:
RPM = AB/(A-B)
For a three point calculation:
RPM = 2XY(X+Y)/(X-Y)2 where
X = (A-B) and
Y = (B-C)
In instances when you can shut down the device and install a piece of
reflective tape, then an optical tachometer is easier to use for RPM
measurement. Stroboscopes must be used when you can’t shut down
the device. The human eye is not easily tricked into seeing a stopped image
by a stroboscope when the flash rate is slower than 300 FPM. Therefore,
stroboscopes are just about impossible to use below 300 FPM for inspection
or to measure RPM.

Lamp Replacement
WARNING:
Before attempting to remove the lamp, make
sure the stroboscope is turned off and any
mains cord is removed from the AC outlet. Allow
the lamp to cool waiting at least 5 minutes.
The stroboscope is designed to discharge the internal high voltages
within 30 seconds. However, caution should be exercised when replacing
the lamp.
Los Puntos
Rojos
The lamp can be replaced by using just a pocket screwdriver. It is not
necessary to remove any screws to replace the lamp.
To change the lamp:
1. Push apart the two tabs on the side of the reflector housing and
remove the lens using a small screwdriver to help pry one tab and
lift the lens. Take care not to pry the tab any more than is necessary
to free the lens. The reflector is held in place by the front lens and
will come loose, but it is not necessary to remove the reflector.
2. Hold the lamp with a cloth between your forefinger and thumb
and rock it back and forth gently while pulling out. Do not attempt
to rotate the lamp. The lamp is socketed and will come out easily
when pulled straight out.
WARNING:
3.
E-6
Do NOT touch the new lamp with bare fingers.
The lamps are polarized and must be put into the socket matching
polarity. Using a lint free cloth, match up the red dot on the
plug with the red dot on the socket and gently rock the lamp

S-6
5.2
Do NOT allow the reflector to contact the lamp.
Reinstall the reflector and then position the front lens in place
matching up the notches on the lens with the two small tabs on
the housing to prevent lens rotation (see Figure 2). Push the tabs
on the front rim outward and press the lens into place.
Fuse Replacement
Under normal operating conditions, the fuse within the stroboscope
should never blow. Examples of abnormal operating conditions would
be foreign materials entering the strobe, such as water, pulp, ink, etc.
E-7
The AC Powered stroboscope has a replaceable fuse inside the unit,
which may be accessed by removing the lens and reflector - refer to
Figure 2. If the fuse needs to be replaced, replace only with a fuse of
the same type and value: Fast Blow - 750mA, 2AG.
WARNING:
Before attempting to replace the fuse, make
sure the stroboscope is turned off and any
mains cord is removed from the AC outlet. Allow
the lamp to cool waiting at least 5 minutes.
The Battery Powered stroboscope has a resettable fuse, which will
reset once conditions are normal again.
6.0 BATTERY POWERED MODELS ONLY
The Nova-Strobe bbx is fitted with rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal
Hydride) batteries. These batteries contain fewer toxic metals than NiCd
(Nickel Cadmium) and are currently classified “environmentally friendly”.
They also have 30% more capacity than NiCd batteries of the same size.
Like NiCds, NiMH batteries are prone to self-discharge - 10 to 15% of
charge is lost in the first 24 hours then continues at a rate of 0.5 to 1% per
day. For maximum performance, charge the batteries just prior to use.
When not in use, the batteries should be charged at least every three months,
otherwise the battery capacity will be reduced or the batteries may become
unusable.
Charge the batteries before use and allow 3-5 cycles of charging and
discharging for batteries to reach full capacity.
The enclosure contains control electronics to properly and safely charge the
batteries. Never remove the batteries from the enclosure and attempt to
charge externally. Always use the charger supplied (PSC-2U).

Low Battery Indication
When the batteries are charged, there will be no battery indication.
When the batteries are low, the Low Battery icon will blink in the
display. The strobe may still be used for a short time.
Low Battery Icon =
Outline blinking (very little time left)
The strobe has a protection feature that prevents the strobe from
operating if the battery voltage is too low. This condition is indicated
by no flash and the display shows “LO BAT”. At this time the
batteries must be recharged. Remember to release the trigger switch.
6.2
Charging the Batteries
The unit may be recharged at any time. You do not need to wait until
the low battery condition is indicated.
To charge the battery powered strobe with the recharger:
1. Release the trigger so the strobe is off.
2. Plug the recharger cable into the recharger socket (located below
the display panel behind the handle).
3. Plug the recharger into an AC mains wall outlet (115/230 Vac).
CAUTION:
Use of rechargers other than the one supplied
(PSC-2U) will damage the stroboscope and void
the warranty.
When the recharger plug is inserted into the recharger jack, the strobe
will go into the Charging Mode. Make sure the trigger switch is not
depressed. The strobe will not do anything else when charging (e.g. it
will not flash and the buttons have no function).
E-9
When charging, the strobe will indicate CHRGE in the bottom right of the
display. The recharger will fast charge the batteries for about 4-5
hours and then trickle charge the batteries.
Allow the recharger to charge the batteries until the display shows
DONE for peak battery life performance. If the batteries are not charged
to 100% regularly, the batteries will lose capacity.
6.3
Battery Disposal
Prior to disposing of the battery-powered strobe, the user must remove
the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. To do this, remove the lens,
reflector and lamp as detailed in the Lamp Replacement section. This
will expose four (4) screws that must be removed so the reflector
housing can be dismantled. There are four (4) additional screws in the
case half opposite the input and output jacks that must be removed.
The case halves can now be separated, exposing the batteries. Remove
the cables from the batteries and place tape over the battery terminals
to prevent them from shorting. The batteries should be sent to a
recycling center or returned to the factory. The rest of the parts may
now be disposed of.
