Latching Mode:
Level Mode -
The type of switch used is dependant on how the operator wishes
the Hi/Low feature to function:
By applying +12 VDC voltage to the Violet wire for less than 1 second, the
power supply is “latched” into low power operation. The unit must be turned off and then back
on to restore normal, Hi power operation. (A Momentary Switch is Preferred)
Applying +12 VDC voltage to the Violet wire for more than 1 second holds the
power supply in low power until voltage is removed. (A Toggle Switch is Preferred)
WARNING: The strobe light power supply is a high voltage
device. Do not remove the strobe tubes or dismantle the strobe
lightheads while the unit is in operation. Wait 10 minutes after
turning off power before working on the system.
