To Run Several Lights in the Synchronized Mode:
Connect your lights as shown in figure 1. With dip switch 3 on, the lights will flash
simultaneously. You may run up to 4 lights at a time.
Interfacing Multiple Units in an Alternating or Simultaneous Flash Pattern:
Connect your lights as shown in figure 2. With dip switch 3 OFF, the 2 lights will blink
alternating. With dip switch 3 on, they will blink simultaneously.
CUSTOMER OPTIONS
Hi/Low Intensity Option:
1. Take the dome and strobe power supply assembly apart
(see “S360D Disassembly Procedure”).
2. Locate the violet (looped) wire, cut it at pin 2 and run it out of
the bottom of the unit with the black and red wires (Fig. 7).
3. Reassemble the unit.
4. Connecting the violet wire to ground will cause the S360D to
operate in high power mode. Removing this wire from
ground forces the S360D into low power mode. A two-
position switch can be installed so that the operator can
easily alternate between high and low power operation (see
“Switch Control Wiring Schematics Chart”).
Flash Pattern Options:
The default flash pattern for the S360D is CometFlash®. You
may choose from several other patterns by making a few simple
changes.
1. First take the unit apart as described under “S360D
Disassembly Procedure”.
2. Now find the input control pigtail assembly in your parts bag,
and plug it in to the extra connector coming out of the strobe
power supply assembly.
3. Next run the brown and white wires out through the center of
the base as shown in Fig. 7.
4. Reassemble the unit and you are ready to choose your
options. IMPORTANT: while re-assembling, make sure you
line up the notch, wire slot and alignment tab (Fig. 3).
To Select SingleFlash: Ground the white wire and tape off the
brown wire.
To Select DoubleFlash: Ground the brown wire and tape off the
white wire.
To Select ActionFlash™: Ground both the white and brown
wires.

Dip Switch Options:
There are several options you can utilize by changing the dip
switch settings.
Manual High/Low Intensity Mode: You may run your strobe at
either high or low intensity by turning all the dip switches off then
following the instructions under “Hi/Low Intensity”.
Automatic Photocell High/Low Intensity Mode (optional):
The optional Photocell will automatically adjust the intensity of
the strobe light according to the ambient light (darkness switches
the beacon to low power, while daylight switches the beacon to
high power). To engage this function you must turn dip switch 1
on. Then clip the violet wire and tape it off (see “Hi/Low Intensity
Option”). Now the photocell option is always engaged. If you
want to be able to turn this function on or off manually, you must
also attach the violet wire to a switch that will ground or
disconnect it. When you switch to “ground” the light will always be
at high intensity. When you switch to “disconnect” the light will
return to the photocell function.
Photocell Mode (Day On): If you want your strobe to turn on
automatically during the day and off at night, turn dip switch 2 on.
Photocell Mode (Day Off): If you want your strobe to turn off
automatically during the day and on at night, turn dip switch’s 1
and 2 on.
NOTE: Both “C” and “D” are usually used for remote applications.
