4.6 EXTERNAL ILLUMINATORS
If an External Illuminator (strobe light) is used, it can be powered from the CBX connection box.
It must be connected to the Vdc and GND terminal clamps. The strobe signal connection is
shared with Output 3. If a non-zero value is defined for the Strobe Pulse Length value (in VPM –
Impact – General), the strobe is active. If the value is zero, Output 3 is active.
CAUTION
Power is available directly to the strobe, independently from the Power
Supply Switch inside the CBX.
Configure the Strobe Signal in the VPM software. Refer to the Camera Setup tab section of the
Impact Reference Guide.

Note: The strobe signal connection is shared with Output 3. If a non-zero value is
defined for the Strobe Pulse Length value (in VPM – Impact – General), the strobe is
active. If the value is zero, Output 3 is active.
