Product catalog summary
Introduction
All MOVISTROB® products undergo extensive quality and functionality testing to ensure they meet high safety and performance standards. Users are advised to read the operating instructions carefully to prevent damage or injury.
General Description
The MOVISTROB® Series 400 stroboscopes are designed for analyzing rapid periodic motions through short light flashes. They offer benefits such as long-term stability, high accuracy, ease of use, and low maintenance costs. The flash rate can be adjusted from 150 to 18000 flashes per minute.
Controls and Indicators
The stroboscope features controls including a mains pushbutton, flash frequency range selector, control knob with dial, and options for external control. Selecting the correct frequency range is crucial to avoid damage.
General Instructions
Connect the device to the specified AC line and use internal or external controls to set the flash rate. The maximum permissible flash rate is 18000 RPM, which can be exceeded briefly.
Stroboscopic Principle
Stroboscopy enables the observation of high-speed periodic motion by illuminating objects with brief light impulses, making them appear motionless or in slow-motion at the correct flash frequency. The document details how to achieve stopped images and measure RPM and frequencies.
Safety and Maintenance
Only trained personnel should operate the instrument. Maintenance and repairs should be conducted by qualified personnel. Users should be cautious of high voltages and prevent liquids or metallic objects from entering the device.
Image Contrast and Rotational Symmetry
The document discusses image behavior with varying contrast and sharpness, noting that real object images appear sharpest. As parameter 'n' increases, images become fainter, and overlapping 'k' mark images should be avoided. Objects with complex textures may cause phantom objects to disappear against untextured backgrounds. For objects with finite rotational symmetry, the axis is often an m-number symmetrical axis, allowing specific rotational overlaps. Stopped images of real and phantom objects can be calculated using formulas involving 'T', 'f', 'k', 'm', and 'n'.
Replacing Flash Tube and Fuses
Instructions for replacing the flash tube in case of failure include removing the glass fiber cover, ensuring the stroboscope is off, and allowing the bulb to cool. The tube is replaced by gently pulling it out and inserting a new one. If the tube is tight, the housing must be opened. The document advises against unnecessary use of the flash bulb to extend its life. Fuse replacement instructions are also provided.
Maintenance and Repair
The document advises taking the instrument out of operation if it is unsafe, shows physical damage, or is not functioning. Repairs and calibration should be performed by trained personnel or returned to the manufacturer.
Technical Specifications
Specifications for models 400.01, 400.00, and 420.00 are provided, detailing features such as flash tube type, peak light intensity, flash duration, flashing-rate range, accuracy, external triggering, and connecting capabilities. Differences between models are highlighted, such as the presence or absence of BNC-outlets and external light source receptacles.

However, in order to avoid an overloading of the flash bulb we recommend you initially select the highest range (80 Hz to 300 Hz) in such cases. The maximum permissible permanent flash rate (18000 RPM) may be exceeded for short periods (not more than 1 minute) up to maximum flash rate of 30000 RPM. Do not allow the flash bulb to burn constantly. 5. Stroboscopic...

The opposite holds for e < 0. With increasing /e/ the angular speed w' of the apparent rotation rises. Finally the angle 2pe becomes so large that the mark...
