Monarch Instrument Nova-Pro 500 LED Stroboscopes/Tachometers

We have combined all the features of our hand held LED stroboscopes together with a full function laser tachometer to create a compact, ergonomic and extremely powerful two in one predictive maintenance tool. The stroboscope light source is made up of twelve LEDs which are extraordinarily bright yet extremely efficient allowing cool continuous operation and extremely long battery life (up to 19 hours on a single charge). Continuous operation is also possible with the optional AC adapter.

Nova-Pro 100: Designed for simple stroboscopic stop motion inspection and RPM measurement applications.The integral laser module is an optional item that can be added to make the 100 a full featured tachometer.

Nova-Pro 300: Has all the features of the 100 described above. It includes the integral laser module for tachometer mode or strobe trigger mode and adds a high contrast inverse blue LCD display with back light and touch sensitive number pad for setting flash rates quickly, ultra high intensity LEDs for even more light output, memory for up to 10 preset flash rates, input and output jacks for external sensors or pulse repeater output and NIST calibration certificate.

Nova-Pro 500: Has all the features of the 300 and adds an additional standard battery pack, remote laser docking station, phase delay,time delay and virtual slow motion.

The Nova-Pro 500 is available as a stand alone battery powered device or can also be purchased in Kit form which adds a deluxe water tight protective die cut foam lined carry case. “Select” model above to view the exact contents and price of each available model.

How to use: Practical applications for White and UV strobes in the Printing and Converting Industries

Using the Nova-Pro integrated laser guided tachometer to synchronize a strobes’ flash rate:
