1. Before any connections are made to the stroboscope, ensure the protective earth wire in the AC mains cable is connected to a protective conductor.
2. Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the stroboscope, or disconnection of the protective earth wire is likely to make the stroboscope dangerous under some fault conditions. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
3. Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened stroboscope under voltage should be strictly avoided but, if inevitable, should be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved. All repairs should be carried out only by authorized service personnel or returned to an authorized repair center.

Note: In order to comply with the requirements of safety standard EN61010, the stroboscope must have one of the following as a disconnecting device, located within easy reach of the operator, and be labeled as the disconnecting safety device:

• A switch or circuit breaker which complies with the requirements of IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3
• A separable coupler which can be disconnected without the use of a tool
• A separable plug, without a locking device, to mate with a socket outlet in the building

CAUTION

1. The protective earth terminal must remain connected during operation of the stroboscope. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired, the stroboscope should be made inoperative and secured against operation.
2. Where conductive pollution such as condensation or conductive dust is present, adequate air conditioning, filtering and/or sealing must be installed.
3. Signal and supply voltage wiring should be kept separate from one another. Where this is impractical, shielded cables should be used for the signal wiring.
4. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment might be impaired or inadequate.

WARNING: Do not use this instrument in any manner inconsistent with these operating instructions or under any conditions that exceed the environmental specifications stated.

INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

Input
The INPUT connector (Aviation Plug M12 x 5) has 5 pins for connection of external trigger sources. These input signals can drive the strobe in the External Mode. The sensor input is compatible with Monarch’s inductive, proximity and optical sensors.

Connections are as follows:

• Isolated Input:
  • 1 Isolated Input +5 to 12 V dc @ 50 mA max (brown)
  • 2 Isolated Input -300 V dc Isolation, 10 kHz max (white)
• Sensor Input:
  • 3 +5 V out +5 V dc out 60 mA (blue)
  • 4 Signal Input 3 to 5 V dc pulse (black)
  • 5 Common (GND) Common (gray)

Output
The OUTPUT connector (Aviation Plug M12 x 4) has 4 pins, 3 of which are used for output signals. The strobe has two outputs. The first mimics the input pulse and can be used for daisy-chaining multiple strobes. The second is a controlled output from the strobe processor and is synchronous with the actual flash of the strobe. Any delays or scaling of the input are reflected in this second output pulse.
Note: Output pulses are not isolated.

Output Pinout:

1. Pulse Out 5 V (typ) Output @ 30 mA; controlled by strobe (brown)
2. Repeater Out 5 V (typ) Output @ 30 mA; mimics Input pulse (white)
3. Common (GND) Common (blue)

MAINTENANCE

Ensure the unit is turned OFF and AC power is disconnected before attempting any maintenance.

The Illumina has no user-serviceable parts inside the enclosure. The only item that requires maintenance is the cooling fan filter which is accessible on the end opposite the display controller. The filter will need cleaning periodically depending on the environment. Removal requires the use of a Phillips-head screwdriver.

Undo the four screws retaining the fan guard (these are the inner screws – A) and remove from unit. This exposes the fan filter as shown above. Remove the foam filter. It can be cleaned by blowing with compressed air or washing gently with plain water. Once cleaned, replace the filter and guard, and secure the screws (A).
Note: A fan guard/filter replacement kit is available through Monarch. Contact the factory for details.
