Before You Begin
Caution: Before you begin the installation read the following safety precautions.
1.Read all warnings, precautions, and safety instructions listed in AF1000 User Manual.
2.Check the label on the back of the controller to ensure that the voltage is correct for your location.
3.Do not place the Mini Controller on the same circuit with the AF1000 strobes, as doing so may result in erratic actions by the controller.
4.Do not use DATAFLASH strobes with this controller. This controller is designed to operate DATAFLASH AF1000 strobes only. Protocol differences will result in erratic fixture behavior and possible component damage.
5.Do not mix the operational modes of the AF1000 strobes. Refer to the AF1000 User Manual for further information.
System Configuration and Set Up
This section covers the Configuration of the Mini Controller. Take careful consideration for the placement of the strobes. The programs were specifically designed for linear (1,2,3, etc.) (left to right, right to left) operation.
AF1000 Switch Settings
For the Mini Controller to properly operate the AF1000 strobes, the Personality and Address DIP switches on the AF1000 strobes must set. For information on accessing these switches, refer to your AF1000 User Manual. The Personality switches on each strobe must be set for the same intensity/duty cycle. Refer to Table 1.1.
Table 1.1: Intensity /Duty Cycle Settings

Note: while mixed operational modes will work together, the fixtures will respond at different intensities, causing the programs look differently then they were designed.
