Installation
Preparations
The CS-2/3 can be delivered with a cable with suitable connectors, which can supply power and signal
to the unit. This cable can either have 2 connectors (Neutrik NC5FXX-XLR) on both sides or the cable,
or can have one connector and one open end on one side. Please refer to Appendix D for ordering
information.
WARNING
: When using an open-end cable, make sure that the appropriate connections are made to
the power supply and pulse generator. Failure to do so can possibly damage the device. The open-
end wires are numbered (on the wires themselves) as described in the table below.

When using a Huygens Optics signal and power distribution unit, the second 5-pin XLR connector can
be connected directly to one of the strobe outputs of the distribution unit. When the 12V power is
correctly connected, the green LED on the back side of the device will light up.
IMPORTANT:
Check the correct polarity and voltage on the power lines before
connecting to the device. Applying reverse polarity or incorrect voltage can
damage the electronics or might blow the internal fuse, in which case the
device should be shipped back to Huygens Optics for repair.
