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

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.
