Xenon Stroboscope (Revolution Calibration Meter)
The Edulab Xenon Stroboscope (Revolution Calibration Meter), or stroboscopic lamp, is designed to facilitate calculation of rotational velocities. It emits an instantaneous intense Xenon flash which can be synchronized with the speed of a target object.
This procedure permits calculation of the speed of an object that has an unknown movement speed or rotational velocity, and can be used in a variety of scientific and industrial contexts. In practice, the target object will appear to be moving slowly or stationary, and is easily photographed using standard digital cameras.
Features of the Xenon Stroboscope (Revolution Calibration Meter)
The Xenon Stroboscope (Revolution Calibration Meter) has the following features:
- Superior quality glass reflector and polycarbonate front cover
- 7-segment LED displays real-time flashing frequency data
- Rapid frequency modulation
- Automatic pattern tracing when selected to the external triggering operation mode
- Dual frequency to double current operating frequency for coarse adjustment and half frequency current reduction
- Fine and coarse adjustment
- Current triggering frequency trimming
- Automatic flash stop function, which reduces power consumption and lengthens the service life of the Xenon flash tube
- Efficient internal overheating protection
- Power is automatically restored once the working temperature decreases to the correct temperature.
How Is the Stroboscope Powered?
The Xenon is not battery operated, but is instead powered by a standard 220V mains supply.
Protection Features and Notes for the Xenon Stroboscope (Revolution Calibration Meter)
The Xenon Stroboscope (Revolution Calibration Meter) has the following measures to preserve the life of the product:
- When using frequencies from .2 to 180 Hz continuous operation is permitted as the tube is protected by internal circuitry
- When using high flash rates above 180 Hz, flash cycle times should be limited to 2 minutes or less to conserve Xenon flash tube life. This helps to prevent overheating and/or burn out as the ionization rates become excessive at high frequencies (>180Hz)
- Xenon flash tubes can be easily installed in the event of a tube failure
