AC Power

The STRIKE Array 4C has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of
100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product's power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current
value listed on the label affixed to the product's back panel, or refer to the product's specifications chart.
The listed current rating indicates the product's average current draw under normal conditions.
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Ensure the
product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

AC Plug

The STRIKE Array 4C comes with a power input cable terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector
on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power cable which came with the
product has no plug, or if it is necessary to change the plug, use the table below to wire a plug.

USB Software Update

The STRIKE Array 4C allows for software update through USB using the built-in USB port. To update the
software using a USB flash drive, do the following:
1. Power on the product and plug the flash drive into the USB port.
2. Once the flash drive has been detected, the message "Upgrade Firmware" will be displayed.
Press <ENTER>. If a different message appears on the display, search for the updated software in
the menu (Update Firmware) and select from Only This Fixture, Multiple Fixture, or Other
Fixture Type. A list of the updated software files will be displayed.
3. Select the file that needs to be uploaded.
• Be sure to select the correct file before pressing <ENTER>. DO NOT turn off the power or
disconnect the USB during the process. The USB update can take several minutes to
complete.
• If the selected file is incorrect, the upgrade will fail, and the display will go back to the
main interface. Repeat steps 1–3 using the correct file.
4. If the selected file is correct, the update will start. DO NOT turn off power or disconnect the USB
during the process. The USB update can take several minutes to complete.
5. When the update is complete, the product will automatically reboot.
6. Go to the Information level of the product main menu and confirm the firmware revision.
7. When the boot-up process is finished, restart the product manually.
• Place the .chl file in the root directory of the USB drive.
• The product's USB port supports up to 32GB capacity and only works with FAT32 file
format.
Turning off the power, removing the USB, or not setting the fixture to the correct protocol
during the update can cause partial or total firmware failure in the targeted fixture(s).
Please refer to the Upload 25 Instructions to fix firmware failure issues.
