IET cat/1531-1538/05-01-06
Strobotac provides two high quality models to
chose from to fulfi ll your electronic strobo-
scopic needs. The 1531-AB for most applica-
tions and the 1538-A for situations requiring
very high fl ash rates. Both instruments offer
proven reliability.
Model 1531-AB and
1538-A Strobes
Compact and accurate.
These strobes are small portable fl ash-
ing-light sources used to measure the speed of fast-moving devices
or to produce the optical eff ect of stopping or slowing high-speed
motion for observation. A build-in system uses the power-line
frequency for quick and easy checks and adjustment of the fl ash-
rate calibration. Each fl ash lamp/refl ector assembly is hinged at the
panel and the refl ector swivels 360 degrees, for complete fl exibility.
The cases have standard sockets (0.25 x 20 threads/inch) for tripod
mounting.
Versatile synchronization:
A variety of trigger inputs can be used
for fl ash synchronization. Contact closures, pulses, or sinewave
signals will trigger the fl ash, and an output trigger is provided so the
stroboscope, in turn, can trigger another device. Single-fl ash photo-
graphs of high-speed motion are a snap with any still camera.
The diff erence:
The 1531 is more economical to buy. On the other
hand, the 1538 gives you six times the maximum fl ash rate of the
former, and enable portable operation with a rechargeable battery.
The 1538-A can also be used with an optical extension lamp.
