Maintenance
The Flash Series strobes have a field replaceable Xenon flashtube. (See parts list for part numbers) The
flashtube snap mounts onto the printed circuit board. Care should be taken to ensure that the tube holder
guide pins are inserted into the printed circuit board and that the base of
the tube holder is flush with the printed circuit board. Do not remove the circuit board from the base. Service
the unit in dry locations. CAUTION: Unit contains high voltages and high temperatures, disconnect from
power and wait 10 minutes before servicing.
