ACCESSORIES
DIAGRAM (1): ON/OFF and Low Power using two toggle
switches. Flash pattern is: Quad Flash All Heads.
Selecting a flash pattern: In the table below, find the desired
flash pattern. Connect the wires marked
to the
'load' side of the ON/OFF switch.
Example: Diagram 1 uses pattern #4 (Quad Flash, All Heads).
To change this to pattern #6 (Mega flash, All Heads)
connect the YELLOW and BLUE wires to the switch.

Remove the remaining
wires, or connect them to Ground.

rocker switch. Flash pattern is: Quad Flash All Heads.
DIAGRAM (3): Selective switching of strobe head pairs. Low
Power selection. Flash pattern is: Quad Flash All Heads.
Blown Fuse
Erratic behavior (and/or) shutdown
: The X-PAK 904 will blow a fuse if the input
voltage is reversed. If this happens, first locate the wiring
fault, then replace the fuse with one of the same rating.
: The X-PAK 904 will
shut down if there is a short circuit condition on any one of
the strobe heads. If the electrical conductors connecting
the power supply to the strobe heads are exposed to water
a short circuit will result. The first sign is intermittent
operation, followed by complete shutdown of the strobe
system. To find the short circuit, unplug all strobe head
cables from the X-PAK 904. Test
cable/head at a time
until the problem is found.
