Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at
least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
If the unit is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage
if it falls, install a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will
hold the unit if a primary attachment fails.

cable (local power plug not included on some versions), trigger cable
and connector and a mounting bracket.
Before using the product for the rst time
1. Read ’Safety information’ on page 4 before installing, operating
or servicing the unit.
2. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before
using the unit. Never attempt to operate a damaged unit.
3. If the unit is not going to be hard-wired to an AC mains power
source, install a suitable local power plug (not supplied) on the
end of the supplied power cable.
4. Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the
local power source match the power requirements of the unit.

Physical installation
Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before installing the unit.
The unit is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry location
with adequate ventilation. Ensure that none of the unit’s ventilation slots
are blocked.
Fasten the unit to a secure surface. Do not stand it on a surface or leave
it where it can be moved or fall over.
If you install the unit in a location where it may cause injury or damage if
it falls, install a safety cable that will hold the unit if the primary fastening
method fails.
Fasten the unit to a at surface
Theunitmountingbracketcanbefastenedtoahard,xed,atsurface.
The unit and surface can be oriented at any angle. Ensure that the
mounting surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times
the weight of all units and equipment they will support.

AC power
Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before connecting the
unit to AC mains power.
Warning! The mains power input cable supplied with the unit is rated 6
A and can supply only one unit with mains power. Do not connect any
device to the unit’s MAINS OUT power throughput socket when using
this input cable.
For protection from electric shock, the unit must be grounded (earthed).
The power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit
breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the unit with
power must be located near the unit and easily accessible so that the
units can easily be disconnected from power.
Do not insert or remove live Neutrik PowerCon connectors to apply or cut
power, as this may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the
connectors.
The unit can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want
to install it permanently or a power plug that is suitable for the local
power outlets can be installed on the power cable.
If you install a power plug on the supplied power cable, install a grounding
type (earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 250 V,
6 A. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in
the power cable as shown in this table:

Disconnect the unit from mains power and allow to cool completely
before cleaning or servicing.
Service units in an area where there is no risk of injury from failing parts,
tools or other materials.
Cleaning

causes overheating and will damage the unit. Damage caused by
inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product
warranty.
Thecleaningofthefrontglassmustbecarriedoutperiodicallytooptimize
light output. Cleaning schedules for lighting units vary greatly depending
on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise
cleaning intervals for the unit. Environmental factors that may result in a
need for frequent cleaning include:
• Use of smoke or fog machines.
• Highairowrates(nearairconditioningvents,forexample).
• Presence of cigarette smoke.
• Airbornedust(fromstageeffects, buildingstructuresandttingsor
the natural environment, for example).
Ifoneormoreofthesefactorsispresent,inspectunitswithintheirrst
100 hours of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again
at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning
requirements in your particular situation.
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit
area. Do not use any product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these
can cause surface damage.
14 LED Strobe user manual
To clean the unit:
1. Disconnect the unit from power and allow it to cool.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside
of the unit and the air vents.
3. Clean glass by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened
with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub the surface hard: lift
particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft, clean, lint-
free cloth or low- pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles
with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner
or distilled water.
4. Check that the unit is dry before reapplying power.
Replacing the primary fuse
If the unit is completely dead, the unit’s primary fuse may have blown and
it may be necessary to install a new fuse. See ‘Unit overview’ on page 14
for the fuse location.
To replace the primary fuse:
1. Disconnect the unit from power and allow it to cool.
2. Usealargeat-bladedscrewdrivertounscrewthecapofthefuseholder.

Other service and repairs
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing.
Do not try to carry out repairs yourself, as doing so may present a health
or safety risk. It may also cause damage or malfunction, and it may void
your product warranty.
