1. Connect the Power/Control wire harness assembly to a switch. To select one of the 10 different flash
functions, simply touch the bare end of the white wire to the +power source for about one second as described
in the FLASH PATTERN SELECTION section. After you have selected the desired flash pattern, you should
cover the bare end of the white wire with heat shrinkable tubing to prevent an accidental short circuit. The flash
pattern may also be selected remotely by the operator by connecting the white wire to the +power source
through a Normally Open (NO) Momentary Push Button Switch.
2. Connect Black wires to a reliable ground.(-)
3. Connect Red Power wires from the Power /Control wire harness assembly to the power source (+) through a
switch and an in-line fuse (5A for 12V operation or 2.5A for 24V operation).
WARNING: To achieve the maximum performance from your strobe tubes, do not mix Helix tubes and
Linear Tubes. Mixing strobe tubes on the two outputs will cause one type to flash brighter than the
other type in some modes and will reduce the life expectancy of the brighter flashing tube.
MAINTENANCE
The CPS220 Remote Strobe Power Supply has been designed to provide trouble free service. In case of
difficulty, refer to the Troubleshooting section. Periodic inspection of power supply wiring, and strobe light head
connections for shorted or open wires will assure trouble free operation. The primary cause of short circuits
has been found to be wires passing through firewalls, roofs, etc.
