3. Theory of Operation All electrical circuitry comprising the MS-2000(M) strobe light is enclosed within its main body case assembly. These circuits operate to step up the battery voltage to a level sufficient to fire the xenon flash tube. This stepped-up voltage is so timed that the flash tube will fire between 40-60 flashes per minute.
SECTION TWO- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS a. Turn "ON" Slide switch up until it stops. within a few seconds. b. Turn "OFF" Slide switch down until it stops. The unit will stop operating. c. White Light With the flashguard shield in the retracted (stored) position, slightly raise the IR filter and rotate it either left/right 90°, push filter in to lock into place.
