BETWEEN THESE TWO PARTS

WARNING:

FIGURE 1.

FIGURE 2.

FIGURE 3.

The strobe light power supply is a high voltage device.

Do not touch or remove strobe tube assembly while unit is in operation.
Wait at least 10 minutes after turning off power before starting work or
any trouble shooting on the unit. On this page is described the assembly
procedure of the strobe light power supply to the cast aluminum base.
It is extremely important that the assembly steps, as described below,
be followed exactly, to insure the proper insulation of the strobe light
power supply from the cast aluminum base.

Lower the power supply assembly onto the cast aluminum

base, with the three mounting holes lined up with the holes located on
the three mounting studs of the cast aluminum base. During this ass-
embly operation, the transistor on the power supply assembly has to be
positioned on the outside of the transistor mounting boss. Secure the
strobe light power supply assembly to the mounting studs with enclosed
self tapping screws.

Slightly bend the transistor on the power supply away from

the transistor mounting boss. Slip the Cho-Therm insulator behind the
transistor with the hole directed towards the top (see figure 4 “A”).
Position the top of the Cho-Therm insulator against the circuit board
of the power supply assembly, making sure that some of it shows below
the transistor (See figure 4 “B”). It is important that the transistor on the
power supply assembly does not contact the transistor mounting boss at
any place, as to prevent a damaging electrical short circuit between the
strobe light power supply and the cast aluminum base.

Use the transistor spring clip to secure firmly the Cho-Therm

insulator and the power supply transistor to the mounting boss of the
cast aluminum base. Wrap one end of the clip around one side of the
mounting boss, then press the other end in position using needle nose
pliers. (See figure 5 and note in figure 4 “B”).
