2.0 PREPARATION FOR USE The Strobe may be hand held or mounted on a tripod or other user supplied bracket using the ¼-20 UNC bushing at the base of the handle. 2.1 Power The Phaser-Strobe has internal rechargeable batteries and may also be powered by an optional external AC power supply. The unit should be charged before use (see section 8.3 Charging the Batteries), or can be run continuously from the AC mains with the optional power supply (PSC-3 or PSC-4, see section 8.4 External Power Supply/Charger).
8.0 BATTERY AND POWER SUPPLY SPECIFICS 8.1 Displaying Battery Charge Percentage To view the current battery charge percentage, press the DISPLAY button to cycle the display between FPM, FPS, PHASE, TIME, and the battery charge percentage. The battery charge percentage will display the current battery charge level from 0 to 100% for about 2 seconds and then automatically return to FPM. PHASE and TIME are skipped when not in an External Delay mode.
increment would exceed the maximum, eg 32,000 to 33,000, the display will not increment. Select a lower digit to increment. There are two ways/modes to select a new blinking digit: Knob 1 mode: Push and hold in the knob and turn to select a new digit. The next digit to blink is dependent upon the direction of the knob rotation. Knob 2 mode (factory default): Push and release the knob without turning it. The next digit to the right will be the blinking digit.
For a two-point calculation the actual speed is given by: RPM = AB/(A-B) Pressing the DELAY button will put the unit into one of the two External Delay modes as explained in the next section. RPM = 2XY(X+Y)/(X-Y)2 where X = (A-B) and Y = (B-C) 3.
2. Press the MEMORY/AUTO button until “AUTO” is displayed. (When in the Auto mode, the ‘AUTO’ chevron is displayed.) When the “AUTO” chevron displayed, the secondary (white) button functions are active. These are STEP, RATE, ON, and OFF. To adjust the step size, press the STEP button. The display will show “STEP” for a second and then show the current step size in degrees (phase delay). The blinking digit is the one affected by turning the knob.
