3.2 Input / Output Connec ons
The Nova-Pro has input and output jacks on
the side that can be used for external
triggering or synchroniza on (daisy-
chaining two or more strobes). These jacks
accept 1/8” [3.5 mm] phone plugs (input-
stereo, output-mono). The input jack
provides a source of power (5Vdc @ 75mA) to power an external
sensor and will accept a signal from 3 to 12 volts. The output is TTL
compa ble (3V) and provides a pulse synchronized to the internal
generator (
fl
ash rate) or external input signal. Connec on details
are shown in Figures 3 and 4 below.
