IMPORTANT
Installer and Users please note:
These instructions should be read carefully and left
with the user of the product for future reference.
Installation
Fix the Xenon 50 with the hanging bracket provided. To
conform to Health & Safety Regulations, a safety chain must also
be employed.
The Xenon 50 must be installed by a competent
electrician in accordance with the current IEE wiring
regulations.
Connect the Xenon 50 to the mains supply with the lead
provided. The wires are colour-coded as follows:
• Brown = Live (phase)
• Blue = Neutral
• Green/Yellow = Earth
• The Xenon 50 must be earthed for safe and reliable
operation.
The supply must be fitted with an isolating switch, or plug and
socket, and protected by fuse or circuit breaker rated at between
6A and 16A. If the Xenon 50 circuit is connected via an MCB a
Type B or Type C may be used.
If the Xenon 50 is connected to a switching pack, ensure that
the pack is capable of switching capacitive loads (such as the NJD
SP10000). The Xenon 50 should never be connected to the
output of a dimmer or dimming pack.
Note: For certain events, a notice stating that strobe
lighting is in use must be displayed at the entrance to the
venue.
Changing the fuse
If the fuse fails, replace with a new fuse type 20mm x 5mm
1.6 Amp Anti-surge, High breaking capacity. This type of fuse has
a ceramic case. Do not replace with any other type or value of
fuse. If the new fuse blows, consult a dealer. The fuse is located a
drawer in the mains input connector.

Modes of operation
Four different modes of operation are available:
Independent
The Xenon 50 will flash at the speed set on the speed control,
or to sound, No connection to the sound source is necessary, as
the Xenon 50 has a built in microphone. Refer to page 4 for
operating instructions. A remote control is also available (JL10R)
10V trigger.
The Xenon 50 may be triggered by +10V trigger pulse from
a strobe controller or lighting controller with 0 to +10V outputs.
Refer to page 4 for operating instructions.
Synchronised.
Any Xenon 50 can act as a master and control groups of 4 or
8 strobes, to produced synchronised flashing or chase patterns.
The group can flash or chase at the speed set on the speed
control, or flash and chase to sound, or can be controlled by a
10V trigger pulse. Refer to page 5 for operating instructions.
DMX controlled.
The Xenon 50 can be controlled from a DMX lighting desk in
two ways: single flash, and variable speed control. Refer to page
7 for operating instructions.
Operating mode is controlled by two switches as follows:
SWITCHES
MODE STANDALONE AUTO/SOUND
DMX controlled (single flash) OFF OFF
DMX controlled (speed control) OFF ON
INDEPENDENT:-
Flash to sound ON OFF
Constant speed (via control on rear panel) ON ON
SYNCHRONISED:-
Master (flash to sound) ON OFF
Master (constant speed) ON ON
Slave OFF OFF

Setting Up
Independent mode.
Set all the DMX Address Switches to the OFF position, and
turn the "STANDALONE" switch ON. To operate at constant
speed turn the "SOUND/AUTO" swith ON and set the speed
required on the speed control.
Note: Health and Safety guidelines recommend that
strobes are not used at more than 4 flashes per second.
To stop flashing, rotate the speed control fully anticlockwise.
To operate to sound, turn the "AUTO/SOUND" switch OFF. No
connection to the sound source is necessary, as the Xenon 50
has a built in microphone.
10V trigger.
To operate from a 10V controller, turn the STANDALONE
switch ON, and connect the 10V output to the ring and sleeve
connections of the 10V input jack. Whenever the output of the
controller turns on (goes to +10V) the strobe will flash once. The
output must turn off (return to 0V) before the strobe can flash
again.
Tip not connected
+10V trigger
0V
Remote Control.
If a remote control is required the JL10R remote control may
be connected to the remote control jack. This will override the
speed control. To use the remote control, turn the "AUTO/
SOUND" switch ON.
