The Smart-Strobe series offers a reliable and inexpensive setup for direct-AC powered repeating Xenon strobes.
Specifically designed, and recommended use with XOP-series Flash lamps.

The innovative technology on this unit allows both variable flash rate, and Variable Flash Brightness (intensity).
Additionally, a Sync. trigger input port make it possible to interface and integrate with virtually any controller.

A capacitor-LESS design powers the flash tube lamp directly from high power mains voltage, allowing a light weight module, and low-cost, high-power device. It requires NO other external parts (except the lamp of course).

IDEAL FOR: Theatrical and stage lighting flicker effects, warning beacons, shop displays, events and special lighting projects

FEATURES:

• Variable flash rate dial
• Variable flash brightness dial
• Quasi-No-Heat operation board
• Synchronization input port (single flash trigger command)
• light-weight - no capacitors needed
  
  
  

Module Specifications
• Working voltage: 220v / 110v AC
• Maximum power: 750w/1500w
• Flash rate: variable 0.3-12 Hz (flashes per second)
• PCB Size: 93X87mm
*PLEASE NOTE:
This product requires a True sine wave 220v-240v / 110v-220v grid supply,
A high amperage socket and circuit breaker of 16A-20A to allow maximum flash power.

Operation modes

• Mode 1: Free-running, repeating strobe
  set the brightness and frequency knobs to the desired settings, the module will strobe the lamp indefinitely
  
• Mode 2Free-running, repeating strobe with external control
  Plug the isolated sync jack, and supply a positive 5-12v DC signal to stop the strobe.
  stop the DC signal to resume continuous strobing
  
  
• Mode 3: On-demand triggering
  Turn the frequency knob all the way down. Set the brightness knob as needed.
  Plug the isolated sync jack, and supply a positive 5-12v pulse (of 0.1-10ms duration) in order to trigger a single pulse.
  
  * This mode is limited to max. rate of about 12Hz, with jitter time of 30ms max. Not suitable for realtime applications.

WARNING: This kit involves High Voltage up to 800v which is stored in big capacitors even long after turning the unit off. THIS VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE AND INJURY. Never touch any of the components and always discharge the capacitor before working on it. Always keep in a well insulated project enclosure.
BY FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS YOU AGREE TO BE THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MIGHT BE CAUSED BY DOING SO.                         WORK CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW WARNINGS

Connection diagram for Sync. input - 1/4" (6.35mm) plug. 

Both sockets are parallel wired to allow a daisy-chain network of multiple devices that will all sync to the input.
Once a plug is inserted into one of the sockets, the strobe will stop flashing, and will wait for the sync signal to trigger the flash.
