Jack socket - when a +10V pulse is applied to the jack socket, the
positive going edge of the pulse will fire the Strobe at the brightness
set by the Digital or 0-10V brightness channel or the internal
brightness control. This input may be used, for example, with a
Strobe Remote Controller.
ROTARY CONTROLS:
Speed Control - varies the flash rate between
approximately one flash every two seconds and 50 flashes
per second (60 fps on 60Hz mains).
Brightness Control - varies the light output from the tube.
PRECAUTIONS -Do NOT use in the presence of epileptics or for
too long at any one time. Do NOT connect to the mains with the
glass protective shield removed.
The GLASS PROTECTIVE SHIELD is made of
toughened glass. It must be changed if it has become
damaged such that its effectiveness is impaired. Use
Pulsar part number 5784.
REFLECTOR - The light output is also heavily dependent upon the
quality of the reflector. For this reason we use the very best
Super-Pure Aluminium to make our reflectors. This ensures the very
highest reflectivity. We want your reflector to be as efficient as
possible not just when new but throughout its life so immediately after
polishing, the surface is then anodised to protect it.
FAN - The Demon Strobe has microprocessor controlled fan cooling.
To prevent excessive dust and dirt entering the unit, the
microprocessor only drives the fan when cooling is actually needed.
Do not obstruct the cooling fan's air intake.
THERMAL PROTECTION - The Demon Strobe contains thermal
protection circuitry. This smoothly reduces the power of the flash if
necessary. For example, if run at full speed and full brightness for
more than 30 seconds, the software gradually reduces the brightness
over the next 30 seconds to about one third of maximum. At slower
speeds and lower brightnesses the delay before cut back is longer
and the reduction is less - if necessary at all.
Should the fan be obstructed or fail, there is an additional thermal
sensor to limit the power and temperature rise of the strobe.
MAINTENANCE OF LIGHT OUTPUT -This cleaning operation
should only be carried out by suitably skilled and competent persons.
If the Reflector or Glass Protective Shield becomes dirty, disconnect
the strobe from the mains supply, remove the glass shield and simply
wipe the reflector and shield surfaces to restore the Strobe's original
performance. Do not touch the quartz flash tube. Refit the glass
shield before reconnecting the mains supply.
FLASH TUBES - Pulsar flash tubes have been carefully chosen for
their long life and reliability.
FLASH TUBE REPLACEMENT - This should only be
carried out by suitably skilled and competent persons.
Disconnect from the mains. Remove the 8 screws and 8
shakeproof washers from the lid to gain access. Release
the 3 wires connecting the tube and carefully lever the porcelain end
caps from their clips. Insert the new tube by pressing both porcelain
end caps into their clips simultaneously. Ensure that each of the 3
wires have two layers of sleeving - use the sleeving from the old tube if
necessary. Cut the wires to length and connect them to the terminal
blocks on the circuit board. New tubes can be obtained from your
dealer or directly from Pulsar. Take care not to handle the Quartz
envelope of the tube - if touched it must be cleaned with alcohol.
MAINS CABLE REPLACEMENT - This modification should only
be carried out by suitably skilled and competent persons.
IMPORTANT - The earth wire must be longer than the live
and neutral wires so that the earth will always be the last
wire to come off if the cable is pulled from the unit. Ensure
the outer sheath covering the live and neutral wires is within 15mm of
the live and neutral tags on the switch.
PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING - The Pulsar Demon
Strobe may be safely Earth Bond and Insulation (500V) Tested.
STANDARDS - The Demon Strobe complies with the following
International and National Standards:
Electrical Safety - IEC65, EN60065, BS415
EMC - EN50081-1, EN55022, EN50082-1
Index of Protection - IP20
Marking Directive 93/68/EEC - The Demon Strobe
meets both the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC and the Low
Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.
GUARANTEE - 12 months from the date of original purchase. The
guarantee is limited to parts and labour. The guarantee is void if the
unit is mis-used or repairs are performed by unauthorised persons. In
the unlikely event of a fault occurring, do not use without repair.
Return the unit, with a description of the fault, to your supplier or direct
to Pulsar for immediate attention.
