Duty Cycle:
Because the Energy One™ can be used for continuous output (ie
while simulating lightning), it can build up intense heat. Due to this
intense heat built up the unit should not run for 15 minutes continu-
ously. After 15 minutes of continuously use allow the unit to cool for
about fifteen minutes, this will greatly increase the lamp life and
insure product longevity.
Stand Alone:
In stand alone the unit will function as a normal strobe light. Rate
(speed) and Intensity (brightness) are set directly on the unit. Note
that these settings are made using the adjustable knobs on the
rear panel of the unit. Once the settings are made they can only be
changed by physically adjusting the knobs on the unit. Be aware of
this if you plan on installing your strobe in a permanent application,
if your are not satisfied with your settings you will have to physically
remove them and adjust the knobs. Experiment with the different set-
tings to achieve your desired flash.
Linking:
The units can be linked together to form a chase pattern or have
them flash simultaneously. You must have a controller connected to
the first unit in the chain. If you don’t have a controller connected,
the units will not interact.
Optional Remote:
American DJ
®
offers several remote controls that may be used to
control the unit by remote such as the S-10S controller. Some remote
controls will allow you to chase several strobes and some may allow
you to only adjust the flash rate. The remote operations very by
model, please see your dealer or visit our web site for more informa-
tion on the available remote controls.
