Equinox SF-80/300 Operations
Manual control mode:
To control the SF-80 or SF-300 strobe in manual control mode, simply plug the unit into an appropriate
mains power supply. Then use the  ash speed control knob on the rear of the unit to set the desired  ash
speed. The unit will now strobe to the set  ash speed.
Remote control mode:
To control the SF-80 or SF-300 strobe in remote control mode,  rst plug CF-01 CX remote controller into
an appropriate mains power supply. Then plug one end of the 1/4” mono jack cable (signal) into the “IN-
PUT” Jack socket on the rear of the unit. Now plug the opposite end of the 1/4” mono jack cable (signal)
into the “OUTPUT” socket on the remote controller.
Please be sure to set all of the manual control knobs to the off position and refer to the strobe controller
user manual for operation.
If you wish to connect a second strobe,  rst plug the 1/4” mono jack signal cable into the “OUTPUT”
socket on the  rst (master) unit. Now plug the opposite end of the 1/4” mono jack signal cable to the
“INPUT” socket on the second (slave) unit.
To link further units together in a daisy chain fashion, repeat the above step and so on.
Note: For the best results only use the SF-01 CX remote controller. Always abide by the controller
user manual speci cations regarding the maximum number of strobes that can be linked to one
controller.
