Operating Instructions
Make sure that the High Power Strobe Control Unit is turned OFF before
you connect the Light Unit.
MANDATORY
ACTIONS
Connect the light cables to a High Power Strobe Control Unit.
1
For the LFV-PF-100-series Light Units
• Connect the light cables to a High Power Strobe Control Unit, PF-A16048-4.
• Use two 2-branch cables that come 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 one 2-branch cable to two L1 output connectors
and the other to two L2 output connectors on a 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).
