Detailed Description
The Nova-Strobe™ dbx Deluxe Battery-Powered Xenon Stroboscope offers powerful features for both diagnostic inspection and speed measurements. This high-intensity, multi-functional, portable xenon stroboscope has a digital display and 6 keypad buttons that provide easy control over a range of useful features providing unmatched performance and value. Lightweight and bright with flash rates to 20,000 flashes per minute, this strobe is comfortable to hold, easy to operate, and will run continuously up to 2 hours on a single charge.
The dbx weighs only 1.9 lbs. (0.86 kg) and comes with a universal slow recharger (115/230 Vac with interchangeable plugs). Recharge time is 4 hours.
A large digital LCD is easy to read and flash rates can be displayed in flashes per minute (FPM) or flashes per second (Hz). The digital adjustment knob allows for quick and accurate adjustment of the flash rate, and nine flash rates can be stored in memory. Six keypad buttons provide easy control over the strobe’s powerful features including the Times 2 (x2) and Divide by 2 (÷2) push buttons which allow easy checking for actual RPM, harmonics, and allow stop motion beyond the 50,000 FPM limit. Individual input and output TTL jacks (1/8″ phone) provide power to remote sensors and allow daisy-chaining multiple strobes.
Choose to buy individually or in kit form which ships in a blow-molded plastic carry case with a spare flashtube (lamp). Includes a NIST Traceable Certificate.
