The 1546 Strobotac Digital Stroboscope features a large, five-digit LED readout that automatically displays the flash rate in bold, easy-to-read digits. This display eliminates the need to calibrate and read a dial to obtain accurate speed measurements.

Encased in a ragged, high-impact housing, the 1546 is designed for maximum portability. Its light-weight design (just 2.65 pounds) promotes had-held operation and permit access to hard-to-light areas under inspection. The strobe also may be operated from any flat surface or mounted on a tripod.

The 1546 emits a high intensity, short duration flash of light for crisp, clear images of fast moving objects. It has a broad fl ash frequency range from 100 to 25,000 fl ashes per minute.

The 1546 is capable of both internally and externally triggered modes of operation. In the internal mode, the flash is triggered by an internal oscillator pulse that can also drive other Strobotac stroboscopes for additional light sources. In the external mode, the 1546 operates as a digital tachometer when a voltage pulse or contact closure is activated by the rotation of an object.

The unit is particularly suited to speed measurements because of the instant digital readout. In machinery design and maintenance applications, the 1546 will help determine the speed of rotating components, slippage between shafts, condition of belts and gears, alignment of couplings, and effect of chassis vibration, all at operating speed. It is very useful for quality control inspection and set-up of process machinery such as bottling, canning, packaging, and stamping operations. Other ideal applications are textile machinery adjustments, printing press registration, electrical equipment design and servicing, photography of high speed events, and physics lab demonstrations.
