Important Information for Equipment Safety

These products have been designed with full consideration of safety. However, incorrect
usage of the products may result in fire, electric shock, or other serious damages. Please
ensure to follow the conditions below.
The following symbols are used in this document to indicate and classify the
relative importance of warnings and cautions.

Warning
usage may result in serious
injury or death.
The following symbols in the document indicate and classify the precautions.
PROHIBITED DISASSEMBLY DO NOT TOUCH DO NOT SUBJECT
PROHIBITED WITH WET HANDS TO MOISTURE
These symbols indicate prohibited actions.
Do not disassemble or modify the Light Unit.
Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not touch the Light Unit and cables with
wet hands. Doing so may result in electric
shock.
Make sure that the Light Unit is free of
moisture or any liquid. Exposure to water may
result in fire or electric shock.
This Light Unit generates high temperatures.
Do not touch the Light Unit while it is turned
on or immediately after it is turned off, or
burning may result. Provide cooling with a fan
or other ventilation if the Light Unit is to be
used in a closed space.
Do not use user-made cables. Doing so may
cause Light Unit failure. Use the High Power
Strobe Extension Cables from CCS if it is
necessary to extend the distance between
the Light Unit and the Control Unit.
Be careful of static electricity. Damage to the
LED Light Unit may occur, if a person charged
with static electricity touches it. Keep the
Light Unit away from all items charged with
static electricity.
Do not use the Light Unit in the following situations.
Under conditions or in an environment not described in this instruction guide.
In nuclear energy control systems, railroad systems, aviation systems, vehicles,
combustion equipment, medical equipment, amusement machines, or safety equipment.
In applications involving serious risk to life or proper ty, par ticularly applications
demanding a high level of safety.
Please install the product to locations with following conditions.
Incorrect installation location may cause product failure.
In a flat and stable location with minimal
vibration.
Well-ventilated places with minimal dust.
Places that are not subject to sudden
temperature changes.

Warning
LED light radiation may cause corneal or
retinal abnormalities if you look directly at
the light. To prevent harmful light exposure,
DISASSEMBLY

Caution
Do not drop the Light Unit or subject it to
impact. Doing so may cause the Light Unit to
malfunction.
PROHIBITED
Use the High Power Strobe Extension Cables
(5 m or shorter). However, if the cable is too
long, the light intensity will decrease due to

voltage drop caused by the DC resistance of
the cable.

Operating Instructions

Make sure that the High Power Strobe Control Unit is turned OFF before you
connect the Light Unit.
MANDATORY
ACTIONS
1
Connect the light cable to a High Power Strobe Control Unit.
For the LDR-PF-100-LA or LDR-PF-150-LA-series Light Units
• Connect the light cable to a High Power Strobe Control Unit. The High Power Strobe
Control Unit must be equipped with ELR-04NV connectors for power output.
• Use a 2-branch cable that comes with the Light Unit and connect the Light Unit
and a High Power Strobe Control Unit. Connect both of the 4-pin connectors of the
2-branch cable to the output connectors that supply power on the same channel of a
Control Unit. For example, connect the 4-pin connectors to the L1-1 and L1-2 output
connectors on a PF-A4048-2 Control Unit.
• Insert the plug all the way into the connector.
• Dedicated Extension Cables are optionally available for the Light Units. For details,
refer to 5. Dedicated Extension Cables FCB-PF-EL9 Series (Sold Separately).

Adjust the Light Unit position and
radiant quantity to optimize images.
MANDATORY
ACTIONS
Use the Light Unit within the lighting conditions (maximum strobe time and
maximum duty cycle*). Exceeding the lighting conditions, such as performing
continuous lighting using a power supply other than a High Power Strobe
Warning
Control Unit, may result in fire or Light Unit failure.
For the lighting conditions, refer to 6. Main Specifications.
* The duty cycle is the strobe operation ratio expressed by the following equation:
Duty cycle (%) = 100 X Strobe time/Strobe cycle
For example, if you want to restrict the duty cycle to 1% or less when the strobe time is 50 μs, you must make the Light
Unit flash with a cycle of 5 ms or longer.
