Pocket Stroboscope with Trigger Output Signal and Jack – IC-PK2X-OT

The PK2X-OT hand-held Pocket Strobe is convenient and accurate device to perform non-contact RPM measurements on rotating or reciprocating parts or components as well as a proven means for inspection of moving parts/machinery by freezing or slowing down the action. This stroboscopic effect is accomplished by matching the flash rate of the stroboscope with the repetitive rate (RPM) of motion of the target. A slow motion effect is accomplished with a slight mismatch of the relative speeds.

The PK2X-OT is powered by a rechargeable internal battery or directly from an AC power source allowing for continuous use if necessary, or continued use when the battery charge is low. It small size, lightweight design makes it perfect for use by field technicians or maintenance personnel.
The new PK2X-OT offer significant improvements from the previous generation model PK2 including the following (refer to table below): 50% improvement in flash brightness, 100% improvement in battery run-time, Doubles the choice of power by permitting operation during re-charge or continuous operation when connected to AC-power. This new model continues to offer the highest reliability, refined by over 10-years of continuous design & manufacturing improvements since the introduction of the original Pocket Strobe Model PK1 was introduced in 1996.The PK2X-OT requires only one hand to operate, yet delivers performance comparable to much larger and heavier pistol-grip type models. It is ideal for industrial, laboratory, R&D and academic environments. Its small size and excellent performance provide superior convenience and value at a reasonable price.Features: – Internal rechargeable Lithium Ion battery uses latest “smart-charge” technology for longest possible life and 2-Hour run-time on a single charge- Bright XENON flash intensity (over 1200 Lux) with life of 200 million flashes- Frequency output signal – Accepts input from sensor for external flash triggering- Battery run time of 2 hours on full charge- Provided with a threaded insert on underside of strobe for mounting to articulating arm or other fixture- Operates when being recharged or run continuously via AC-power- Universal (100 to 240V AC) AC-Adapter/Charger can be used anywhere worldwide- Portable, lightweight and rugged construction- Resolution of +/- 1 RPM over the entire range with highly accurate speed control and drift-free operation- Includes Stroboscope, Universal AC-Adapter/Charger (with plug adapters provided for North America, Europe, UK & AU), external input jack, Traceable Calibration Certificate and instruction manual, all supplied in a hard shell carrying case.
