Congratulations on your purchase of the Impact VS-LCD Series Studio 
Strobe. This light incorporates numerous advanced features, and was 
designed to provide many years of trouble-free service. Please read these 
operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before operating 
this equipment.

Features

•  A tactile, “grippy” feel that resists slipping and shock damage
•  Cushioned “touch-pad” function control buttons
•  Liquid Crystal Display
•  Five Stop Range – full power to 1/16th power in .10 f/stop increments
•  Red Eye Reduction function
•  “Auto Dump” excess power release circuitry
•  User-replaceable flash tube
•  Commonly available 1/8” mini plug flash sync input
•  Universal IEC C13 type computer power cord
•  7˝ grid reflector
•  Voltage: 100-120V 50-60Hz
•  Built-in optical slave

Power Requirements

This light is designed for use with 110/120V AC power only, and is supplied with a 
3-prong, grounded plug. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. If necessary, use 
only grounded extension cords rated for 10 amps or greater.

Warning

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Only qualified service engineers 

should access the inside of the case (Danger – high voltage parts inside). Avoid damage 
to both the flash tube and modeling lamp. If the modeling lamp becomes cracked or 
damaged in any way, it should be replaced immediately. Do not use your flash unit in an 
environment where moisture or flammable vapor is likely to come in contact with the unit. 
Turn the power off and unplug the power cord when the unit is not in use. Always remove 
the modeling lamp and replace the protective cap when transporting the unit. Avoid 

strong light falling onto the slave cell as it will prevent efficient operation. If the strobe 
blows a fuse, a replacement fuse can be inserted in the pull-out compartment on the 

back of the unit. To ensure long life of the flash capacitors, the flash unit should be 

powered up and fired several times at least every two months.
