This compact strobe offers excellent brightness, exceptional features, and extra-long battery life. A unique one-touch joystick-type button makes for single-handed operation. NIST Traceable Certificate included.
The PALM STROBE x is a sophisticated stroboscope with many features, yet remains simple to operate. It is a lightweight, industrial strength, singlehanded operation instrument that fits in the palm of your hand. A four-quadrant Tuner Button adjusts the flash rate, and provides multiply/divide by 2 functions. A large, bright, backlit, 6-digit alphanumeric LCD shows the flash rate and mode of operation. The strobe can store and recall eight programmable flash rate settings and the last used setting in nonvolatile memory so that the unit “remembers” all the flash rates when the power is turned off.
The strobe has a removable, rechargeable battery pack which provides up to 2 hours of continuous use depending on the flash rate. This battery pack clips in and out with no tools required. An optional second battery pack allows for longer operation in the field. A ¼-20 UNC thread bushing on the underside of the strobe allows for tripod mounting. The strobe locks “ON” for hands-free operation. The Input/Output phone jack will accept an external input up to the maximum FPM and can be used with an external Self-Powered Sensor to measure RPM. The Input/Output phone jack will also provide TTL output pulses for each flash.
