A few Precautions : ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MAY CAUSE THE STROBE TO GO INTO PROTECT MODE
The SPEED adjustment can be set so fast that there is no down time.This is the same as FULL ON except the
Brightness depends on the DIMMER Setting.
If the DURATION is set to max the strobe will not turn off between SPEED pulses
The brighter the DIMMER is set the shorter the Duty Cycle before Protect Mode comes on.

LONG TO OPERATE NORMALLY .
