Monarch Nova-Strobe DAX
Times 2 and divide by 2 push buttons allow easy checking for actual RPM, harmonics and allow stop motion far beyond the 14,000 fpm limit.
Store and recall up to 6 user selectable values. Last measurement memory, even with the power off.
Flash rate may be displayed in Flashes per Minute (RPM) or Flashes per Second (Hz)
Individual input and output TTL jacks (1/8 inch phone) provides power to remotes sensors and allows "daisy-chaining" of multiple strobes. Power is provided for external sensors
A Tachometer mode allows accurate speed measurement up to 250,000 RPM using external sensors.
Tripod mounting bushing in handle
CE Approved N.I.S.T. Certificate of Calibration included.
- AC Powered; electronic switching allows for continuous cool operation
- Flash rates from 30 to 20,000 flashes per minute, adjustable in 0.01 step increments, the coarse/fine adjustment knob makes it quick and easy to set the exact flash rate you want; the ALT knob function multiplies the initial flash rate by 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
- Six keypad buttons provide easy control over strobe’s powerful features
- Individual input and output TTL jacks (1/8″ phone) provide power to remote sensors and allow daisy-chaining of multiple strobes
- Times 2 (x2) and Divide by 2 (÷2) push buttons allow easy checking for actual RPM, harmonics and allow stop motion far beyond the 20,000 FPM limit
- Flash rate may be displayed in Flashes Per Minute (FPM) or flashes per second (Hz)
- Tachometer Mode allows accurate speed measurement up to 250,000 RPM using external sensors
- Store and recall up to 9-user selectable values; last measurement memory, even with the power off
- Internal phase-shifting allows the target to be jogged clockwise or counterclockwise in 5° increments
- ¼ x 20 tripod mount in handle
- NIST Traceable Certificate included
