Nova-Strobe™ PBL LED Stroboscope with NIST Certificate
The Nova‐Strobe™ PBL LED Stroboscope is a rugged industrial strobe providing extremely bright, uniform light output for performing stop motion diagnostic inspection and RPM measurements. The top-of-the-line Phaser PBL features an external phase delay, time delay, and virtual RPM mode. NIST Traceable Certificate included.
Detailed Description
The Monarch Nova-Strobe LED family of rugged industrial stroboscopes provides an extremely bright, uniform light output for performing stop motion diagnostic inspection and RPM measurements. The twelve LED light source is extremely efficient which means long battery life and continuous cool operation. A wide operating range of 30-500,000 flashes per minute covers all applications.
The PBL has all the features of the DBL and adds external phase delay, time delay, and virtual RPM mode. The PBL will also run continuously, 24/7 with the power supply/recharger. The PBL is available stand-alone or as a kit.
