User Instructions

Introduction:

Thank You and congratulations on your purchase of the American DJ® Flash Tube Buffer™. This buffer is a simple and easy way to extend the range of your American DJ® Flash Matrix Hub™, Flash-1C™, or Flash-2C™ Flash Tube™ controllers. In some large venues it is sometimes necessary to have extended cables run, due to the fact that control booths are often located clear across the room from any xtures. This buffer will prevent any signal degradation that may occur after excessively long cable runs.

Function:

Your different Flash Tube™ controllers (Flash Matrix Hub™, Flash-1C™, or Flash-2C™) are designed to handle total cable runs of 100ft. or less. This total includes your Flash Tubes™ and/or any extension cables. This buffer is designed to boost the output signal of your controller. The buffer is designed to be placed at the end of your rst 100ft. run, not at the beginning. For Example: If you have a fty foot extension cable running from your controller to 20 Flash Tubes™ (

cable run of 150ft.
