STROBE LIGHTING CONNECTIONS
POWER CONNECTION
For all configurations the strobe power supply(s) will be powered by the #16AWG RED, and/or RED/BLK wires. For 2 or 4 head
configurations, one wire will be used, 6, 8, 10 and 12 head configurations will use two wires. These wires supply power to each
strobe power supply. All user switches and wiring connected to the RED,RED/BLK and or RED/WHT wires must be rated for a
minimum of 10 Amps and fused at a maximum of 15 Amps for each wire used.
