Plug one end of a mono (not stereo) microphone signal cable with standard 1/4-inch mono microphone jacks (See Appendix.B) into the Signal Input connector on upside of unit. Plug the other end of the cable into the signal output socket on the controller. If desired, connect another strobe: Plug one end of another signal cable into the Signal Output socket (See Appendix.C) on the upside of the first strobe; Plug the other end of the signal cable to the Signal Input socket on the upside of the second strobe. Follow the same procedure to link more strobes, if desired. Set all strobe manual control knobs to the Off (no flash) position. Refer to your strobe controller user manual for operating instructions.

However, incorrect voltage, power surges, or other mishaps cause problems. The following points are made for non-technical users. Always refer servicing to qualified technicians. Problem: The strobe doesn't flash on manual control. Action: Check power connections. Plug the mains power cord into proper power supply socket. Press circuit reset. Retry strobe flash under manual control. Listen. Is there a tick, tick sound? If so, lamp may be broken. If not, an electronic component (triac) may need replacing. Refer servicing to a qualified technician. Problem: The strobe doesn't flash on remote control. Action: Disconnect remote control cable. Test strobe under manual control. Follow instructions above. If strobe flashes in manual control but not under remote control, replace the remote control cable. Use a cable that has worked properly with other strobes. If strobe still doesn't flash under remote control, check to see if other strobes operate properly with this controller. Refer servicing of strobe and controller to a qualified technician. NOTE: Strobe tubes should be replaced by qualified technicians only.
