INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

ANALOG INPUT JACK: (4 PIN MODULAR HANDSET JACK) RC-A remote connects directly to this jack. However, any zero to ten volt source can be connected using the pigtail connectors provided.

Pin 1 = Intensity control
Pin 2 = Rate control
Pin 3 = +12 Volt (60ma Source)
Pin 4 = Common

ANALOG OUTPUT JACK: (4 PIN MODULAR HANDSET JACK) Provides a convenient way to slave additional fixtures from one control. Maximum number of fixtures is ten. Maximum length is 1000 feet.

DMX INPUT CONNECTOR: (5-pin XLR) Standard DMX connector inputs DMX signal to unit.

DMX OUTPUT CONNECTOR: (5-pin XLR) Provides an active driven DMX source to additional fixtures.

DMX CHANNEL SELECT DIP SWITCH: This sets the strobe to respond to a given pair of DMX channels. Set it to the DMX channel you want thestrove Intensity Control to respond. Rate control will automatically respondto the next channel. For example, if you want the strobe to respond to DMXchannels 148 (Intensity) & 149 (Rate) set DIP switch as follows: ( See Diagram)

POWER LED: This LED lights when main power is applied to thestrobe.

STATUS LED: This LED blinks with the flash signal and stays on continuously when a temperature overload exists.

SPEED RANGE: 15 FLASHES / SECOND FASTEST / 15 FLASHES / MIN SLOWEST
Single Flash Operation can be performed by bumping the intensitychannel with Rate Off.

HYPERFLASH: The intensity channel must be off to activate HYPERFLASH. Bumping the Rate Channel with intensity Off will trigger a HYPERFLASH. Five different effects can be triggered depending on the rate channel level (see table below)

Rate Input Level  SETTING HYPERBLAST EFFECT   Recycle Time
1 - 20% 10% Continuous   Continuous
21 - 40% 30% Lightning   1/2 second
41 - 60% 50%  Fade Off   1.4 seconds
61 - 80% 70% Crossfade   2.25 seconds
61 - 100% 90%  Hyperflash
1/2 second

POWER DRAW: 120 Volt 3 AMP / 240 Volt 1.5 AMP at maximum rate & intensity
