2-Head/4-Head Separate Activation (With High/Low Power Switching Option)
or
3-Pair Independent Activation (High Power Only)
(diagram on next page)
1. Use Star Model #SP3860-3 switch panel (not included), or any other standard three-switch
switch panel capable of delivering 15 amps.
2. Connect the black wire from the POWER connector to a good chassis ground.
3. Connect the red wire from the ENABLE plug to +12VDC through your first switch.
4. Connect the black wire from the ENABLE plug to +12VDC through your second switch.
5. Connect the white wire from the ENABLE plug to +12VDC through your third switch.
If the Head Select/High-Low Jumper is in the High/Low position: (see page 4)
The white wire from the ENABLE plug allows utilization of the High/Low (Day/Night
Mode) option. The white wire from your ENABLE plug should be connected to the third
switch. When the white wire is connected to power through your third switch, the pack
will run under high power (Day Mode). When the third switch is in the “off” position, your
pack will operate under low power (Night Mode).
If the Head Select/High-Low Jumper is in the 3-Pair Head Select position:
(see page 4)
The pack will run under high power and each switch will control one pair of heads.
6. The white wire from the POWER connector will be left unconnected for now. Once your
system is installed, the white wire will be used to program the flash pattern. Proceed to
the Pattern Selection section on below.
Pattern Selection
1. The white wire on the POWER cable for the RP966 and RP996 packs allows you to
select what pattern you would like the strobe heads to exhibit.
2. Once your switch, strobe pack, cables, and heads are installed, activate your strobe
system by turning all the switches on.
3. Using the white wire on the POWER cable, select your flash pattern by slowly touching it
to +12VDC for about two seconds and releasing it. Continued touching for two seconds
and releasing of the white wire to +12VDC will scroll through the following 24 different
patterns:
4. Once you have found the desired pattern, you can turn off the system. The strobe
pack will “remember” the last selected pattern when switched off and that pattern will
be displayed the next time the pack is switched on. Tape or place a wirenut over the
end of the white wire to prevent it from coming into contact with +12VDC again.
5. OPTIONAL: If you wish to utilize your own remote pattern select switch, you may
connect the white wire to +12VDC through a momentary on/off switch (user supplied).
