Product catalog summary
Introduction
All MOVISTROB® products are subjected to stringent quality and functionality tests to ensure they meet safety and performance standards. Users are encouraged to read the operating instructions carefully to avoid damage or injury.

General Description
The stroboscope is designed for analyzing rapid periodic motions through short light flashes. It measures speed without mechanical interference and features high flash frequency, stability, accuracy, and user-friendly handling. The MOVISTROB® 500.00 model is compact, equipped with a high-efficiency Xenon flash bulb, adjustable flash rate, and is versatile for various applications.

Controls and Indicators
The device includes several controls such as the "ON" pushbutton, flash frequency range selector, control knob for flash rate adjustment, and inputs for external control. It also features synchronization options and connectivity for digital counters and external light sources.

General Instructions
Users should connect the device to the specified AC line and switch it on. Internal control utilizes the built-in flash frequency generator, while external control requires a pulse generator connection.

Stroboscopic Principle
Stroboscopy enables the observation of high-speed periodic motion by using brief light flashes, allowing for detailed observation and measurement of RPM and frequencies.

Safety and Maintenance
Operation should be conducted by trained personnel, with maintenance performed by qualified individuals. High voltages are present, necessitating precautions to prevent damage or injury.

Angular Speed and Apparent Rotation
The document explains the relationship between true angular speed and apparent angular speed, noting that directionality changes with the sign of e. As e's absolute value increases, apparent speed rises, causing visual phenomena during successive flashes.

Stopped Images of Phantom Objects
Stopped images occur at specific flash frequencies, creating phantom rather than real objects. Formulas are provided for these frequencies, with clearer images at lower values of n and k.

Objects with Finite Rotational Symmetry
For objects with symmetrical axes, stopped images result from specific periods and frequencies, with formulas provided for these conditions.

Replacing Flash Tube and Fuses
Instructions emphasize safety precautions for replacing the flash tube and fuses, advising against unnecessary use to prolong the flash bulb's lifespan.

Maintenance and Repair
Unsafe instruments should be taken out of operation, with repairs and calibration recommended by trained personnel or the manufacturer.

Technical Specifications
The Model 500.00 includes a Xenon high-efficiency white light tube, with specifications on light intensity, flash duration, flash-rate range, accuracy, and external triggering options. Details on housing, weight, dimensions, and optional accessories are also provided.

Additional Notes
The document reserves the right to technical modifications and requests quoting the type and serial number in correspondence.

3.1 SIGNAL MAINS PUSHBUTTON "ON" (5) switches on the stroboscope by depressing the pushbutton. When depressed (red signal), the instrument is ready to work. 3.2 SIGNAL FLASH FREQUENCY RANGE SELECTOR PUSHBUTTONS (8) for selection of desired flash rate range: > PUSH BUTTON FLASHES/MIN = RPM FLASHES/SEC = HZ 8.1 - low range 150 - 4000 2.5 - 66.67 8.2 - medium range 3700 - 18000 61.67 - 300 8.3 - max. range 18000 - 60000 300 - 1000 When changing over from one range into the next the previously pressed button will automatically be released. The range selector pushbutton shows colour green when depressed....

SIGNAL PUSHBUTTON for EXTERNAL CONTROL "Ext Trig." (9) serves to select the desired mode of synchronization. When the flash frequency is to be controlled by an external source via "Trigger Input" (4) the round signal pustbutton has to be depressed (signal indication: red). The flash rate can be adjusted by means of the Control Knob with Dial (3) within the preselected range (8) when the pushbutton is not pressed (signal indication: grey). Switching over to other operating mode the round pushbutton will automatically be released 3.7 SIGNAL PUSHBUTTON for LINE SYNCHRONIZATION ( 7 ) If the flash...

Operation with External Control If the flash rate is to be controlled externally by closing a contact, magnetic impulses, light impulses or other pulse signals pustbutton 5. "Ext.Trig." (9) must be pushed in "ON" position (signal indicating red). Connection of the pulse generator to the control unit is to be effected through a trigger cable which must be connected to the "Trigger Input" (4) . Select the proper frequency range ( pushbuttons 8ē ) in which the external synchronizing frequency presumably takes place. If the control impulse frequency exceeds the selected range the next higher range...

2e between two succeeding flashes. If /e/ is sufficiently small the eye perceives a constant slow-motion cycle. Angular speed w , at which the object appears to rotate, is given by: wҒ = 2 v = 2 ҏ e = 2 e 2 e T (n+e) r nr If we compare this with the true angular speed of the object, we obtain: w = (e 緷 n ) > 畕Օ w For e > 0 (i.e. T > Tn and/or f > fn ) w and w have the same sign, so that true and apparent rotation are in the same direction. The opposite holds for e < 0 . With increasing /e/ the angular speed wҒ of the apparent rotation rises. Finally the angle 2 ππππ e becomes so large that the...

Do not use the flash bulb needlessly, as its life is limited to approx. 350 hrs. You will achieve a much longer lifetime, if you switch the instrument off in cases of long intervals in between the measuring or motion control actions. When the lid catch of the housing is removed, the fuse 0.5 A (in case of 110V AC = 0.63 A) can easily be replaced. > If the instrument is suspected of being unsafe, take it out of operation permanently. This is usually the case when the unit shows physical demage, no sign of functioning or stress beyond the tolerable limits. Repair, replacing parts, calibration ect....
