Lamp Replacement
Strobe lamps in FL-45P, FL-75P and FL-150P have a life of at least 5 million flashes.
Replace burnt-out strobe lamps in FL-45P, FL-75P and FL-150P as follows. Always
use appropriate Geni ST-series replacement lamps.
1. Disconnect power source. Let unit cool five minutes.
2. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw in the clasp that connects
the lens (A4) to the strobe body (A5). While grasping the strobe body (A5), turn the
lens (A4) clockwise. You will hear a click. Remove the lens.
3. Grasp the burnt-out strobe lamp. Pull straight out. Discard old lamp properly.
Keep away from children and animals.
4. Cover your hands with lint-free gloves or cloth. Grasp the new strobe lamp tube.
Insert its pins straight into the strobe lamp socket. Do not touch lamp tube with bare
hands, as this will shorten the lamp life. Use rubbing alcohol and a lint-free cloth to
wipe lamp tube clean if it is accidentally touched.
5. Align the lens and body: A knob in the lens fits nicely into a slot in the body. Turn
the lens counterclockwise on the body, bringing the screw hole on the clasp (A3)
into place. Tighten the retaining screw into place.

34C, as follows:
A. Plug one end of a standard microphone cable with 1/4-inch mono jacks to
the controller output socket.
TM
B. Run your line to the first strobe. Insert the 1/4-inch mono jack into the Zap
Strobe's IN (B5) socket. Insert another cable with 1/4-inch mono jacks into the first
strobe unit's OUT (B6) socket.
C. Run your line to the next strobe, and make connections by repeating the
process above. Observe controller instructions regarding the maximum number of
strobes that can be linked.
TM
2. Make sure that power supply and product voltages are the same. Plug the Zap
Strobe mains power cord into properly grounded power source. Plug controller into
power source.
3. Adjust strobe flash rate according to your controller instructions. On the Geni FL-
01C controller, for example, simply turn on the POWER switch and twist the control
knob to adjust flash rate.
