The
Pulsar
Strobe range consists of the
SUPERMAXI,
JUMBO
and
MONSTER.
All Pulsar Strobes can produce
astonishingly dramatic effects - particularly when used on their
own in the dark.
The ultimate Strobe effect is to use the Pulsar Rainbow
Strobe/Chaser to drive a number of Strobes with different colour
filters so each frozen image is a different colour.
MAINS SUPPLY -
The mains voltage required is marked on
the back panel. All three Strobes are available in 200-240 VAC
50-60Hz, 5 Amp models. The Jumbo Strobe is also available in
a 100-130 VAC 50-60Hz, 5 Amp model. The mains lead of the
110V model is fitted with a 'U' ground plug. All models must be
earthed.
We recommend the use of a Residual Current Circuit Breaker.
The mains cable should be fitted with a suitable approved and
rated plug. Note: in some countries it is a requirement that such
a plug be fitted by a qualified electrician.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
MAINS FUSE -
Failure of this fuse usually indicates an
internal fault and servicing by a qualified engineer will
be required. If a fuse blows, locate and rectify the fault
before replacing it.
The Monster Strobe has a 10A, F-Fast, 0.25" x 1.25", Ceramic,
HRC fuse mounted on the back panel.
The SuperMaxi and Jumbo Strobes have a 5A, F-Fast,
5x20mm, Ceramic, High Rupture Current (HRC) fuse mounted
on the internal circuit board. Replacement of this fuse must only
be carried out by suitably skilled and competent persons.

before removing the four
screws holding the front panel to gain access.
ELECTRONICS ON/OFF SWITCH
With built-in
Indicator Neon.
This Double Pole Switch controls the power to
the electronics.
SPEED CONTROL
-
The speed control varies the flash rate
between approximately one flash every two seconds to 16
flashes per second.
REMOTE CONTROL
-
A jack socket on the Super/Maxi and
Jumbo strobes, and also the 2 Din sockets (In and Thru) on the
Monster Strobe, allow connection from a controller eg. a Pulsar
1/2/4/8 Channel Rainbow Strobe/Chaser, Strobe Remote
Controller, Touch Panel or Masterpiece. To select remote
control, click the speed control to the "off" position and connect
to a controller using a standard mono jack to jack lead (or a
standard Din to Din lead if using a Monster Strobe). The DIL
switch on the Monster Strobe is used with the DIN input to allow
a selectable channel (or channels) to remotely flash the Strobe,
the thru DIN socket can be used to link through to other strobes
and/or packs
SAFETY CHAIN -
A safety chain of suitable length and
strength (Pulsar part no. 60030/1)
must
be securely fixed
between the safety chain fixing point - above the word Pulsar on
the back panel, and the mounting surface.
LIGHT OUTPUT
Light Output -
Our patented circuit doubles the energy per
flash (measured in joules or watt seconds) each time the speed
is halved thus keeping the flash tube running at its rated
wattage. So at 4 flashes per second, each flash is 4 times more
powerful than at 16 flashes per second and the total light output
remains the same regardless of speed. This means that at low
speeds even our SuperMaxi Strobe is as bright as some of our
competitors' most powerful models!

Note:
This is the actual energy delivered to the tube. Some less
scrupulous suppliers quote the energy taken from the mains -
which can be considerably greater. Others even quote the
totally irrelevant figure of the maximum joules that the tube can
withstand for a single flash without exploding -1000 joules for
example - which is meant to impress you but says nothing about
the power actually delivered to their tube!
