INTRODUCTION
1.1
Description
Machine Vision Strobes (hereafter referred to as the "7000 Series") are sources of short
duration, high intensity light pulses for industrial vision applications. The units come
complete with an input power cable and a connector for a control input cable. The light
source is a Excelitas Technologies high power xenon flashlamp. The light output is
focused on a port configured to accept a fiber-optic cable (optional; see Table 4) so that
light can be transmitted to an area remote from the instrument.
The 7000 Series can be used for a wide variety of industrial robotics production
applications, including: sorting, package integrity verification, counting, label reading,
component orientation, motion sensing, edge detection, contaminant detection, part
recognition, color differentiation and quality assurance.
For operation, the 7000 Series unit requires a TTL input pulse from the camera system
to initiate a flash, and connection to a 90-230V AC, 50/60Hz line, single phase with
ground.
Please read and follow all safety precautions, such as:
WARNING!
WARNING!
Any unauthorized void
CE Certification
Strobe lights have been known to
trigger seizures in people with
photosensitive epilepsy
WARNING!
Avoid looking directly at the high intensity light flash, whether at the unit
itself or at the end of a fiber-optic cable, as this can result in damage to
the eyes. A fiber-optic nosepiece is hot after continuous use.
Handle with care.
1.2
Unpacking
If the condition of the outer packaging suggest mishandling has occurred, examine the
7000 Series strobe for any signs of breakage during shipment. The Xenon Flashlamp
is particularly vulnerable to rough treatment during shipment. Although the utmost
care is taken to preserve the integrity of this item, its fragile nature makes it
susceptible to breakage if the container is mishandled in transit. If there are any
obvious signs of damage, contact the carrier immediately and do not proceed with
the installation. It is recommended that the packaging material be retained and
stored
in
the
event
that
the
unit
has
to
be
reshipped.

Input Connections & Intensity Control Switch
Two input connections are provided at one end of the enclosure. The larger connector
is used to attach the input power cable (supplied).
The smaller, 9-pin connector (see Figure 2) is used to attach a cable for trigger and
reference voltage inputs. A mating connector is supplied. Use a shielded cable, 90%
coverage or better, 360 terminated to the back of the shell. To trigger the strobe, a +5V
TTL pulse (10-100 usec, >20 mA) is required to activate the opto-isolator. The strobe
will flash on the rising edge of the positive pulse. Do not exceed 6V since this will result
in permanent damage to the strobe. Other logic voltages can be accommodated by the
addition of a series resistor (Please Contact Factory). A Trigger Test Module (MVS103) at a fixed flash rate (6 Hz) is available through Excelitas Technologies to test your
MVS-7000 Series strobe. This small module (1½” x 1" x 2½”) plugs directly into the Dconnector and can be used to verify correct operation of the MVS-7000 Series strobe
unit.

The intensity of the MVS-7000 Series strobe can be adjusted by means of a
potentiometer (INTERNAL mode, see section 4.3) or an external reference signal
(EXTERNAL mode, see section 4.4). A slide switch S1, located on the main power
supply PC board, allows the user to switch from INTERNAL to EXTERNAL mode for
intensity adjustment. (Units are shipped with the switch S1 in the INTERNAL position).
Note: With the switch S1 in the EXT. position, an external reference voltage (5-10 VDC)
on Pin 3 and Pin 9 is required to operate the strobe. Without this reference signal, the
strobe will NOT flash (see section 4.4).

If External Vref is not used, set slide switch to INT and leave internal ref. at factory setting (600VDC).
4.3
Intensity Adjustment (Internal Mode)
With the slide switch S1, located on the main power supply PC board, in the INT
position, the user can change the intensity of the strobe by adjusting a potentiometer
without opening the strobe enclosure. This potentiometer is labeled ‘Internal VREF
Adjust’ and is located on the back of the unit just above the signal input connector next
to the ON/OFF switch.
By adjusting the 10-turn pot (or 1 turn pot on any of the MVS-7000-03 models), using a
small screwdriver, the user can vary the voltage on the main discharge capacitors from
300 VDC to 600 VDC. The intensity or energy per flash will vary as ½ capacitance x
(voltage)2 (or E=½CV2). The voltage has been factory set at 600 VDC. For reliable
flashing over the life of the lamp, it is not recommended to operate the strobe at less
than 400 VDC.
The actual output voltage setting (300-600 VDC) can be measured by monitoring the
internal Vref setting (5-10 VDC) through the signal input connector J2. By disengaging
the 9 pin D-connector, the user can measure the DC voltage between Pin 3 and Pin 9.
The output voltage is 60 times the reference signal (Vout = Vref x 60).

OPERATION MANUAL
4.4
Intensity Adjustment (External Mode)
To change the intensity adjustment from the factory setting (INTERNAL mode) to an
external reference signal (EXTERNAL mode), the user must slide switch S1, located on
the main power supply PC board, to the EXT position. This requires opening the
enclosure to access the interior of the enclosure.
Please read and follow all safety precautions!
1.
Switch off the unit and allow it to cool.
2.
Disconnect the AC cord from the unit.
3.
Wait at least 60 seconds to allow the energy storage capacitors to discharge.
4.
Using a screwdriver, loosen the screws on the clamps holding the cover and
open the case.
5.
Ground discharge capacitors with an insulated shorting bar to insure the stored
energy is discharged.
6.
Slide switch S1 (at lower left corner of unit and top edge of PC board) to the EXT
position.*
7.
Close the cover and secure the clamps before reconnecting the AC cord.
*
To restore the internal voltage adjust, repeat the above procedure and slide the
switch to the INT position.
Note: With the switch S1 in the EXT position, an external reference voltage is required
to operate the strobe. Without this reference signal the strobe will NOT flash.
An external reference signal can be used to control the intensity of the strobe. A
5-10 VDC reference signal should be connected to pin 3 (Vref) and pin 9 (Vref return).
The actual voltage on the storage capacitors is 60 times the reference signal (Vout =
Vref x 60). The output voltage can be varied from 300 VDC to 600 VDC. The intensity
or energy per flash will vary as ½ capacitance x (voltage)2 (or E=½CV2). For reliable
flashing over the life of the lamp, it is not recommended to operate the strobe at less
than 400 VDC.
4.5
Voltage Setting Versus Lamp Life
Lamp life is dependent on the energy per flash. For maximum lamp life lower the lamp
voltage to a minimum, that will allow sufficient light output for your application.
However, for reliable flashing over the life of the lamp, it is not recommended to operate
the strobe at less than 400 VDC.
