The yy value represents a typical input current drawn by the power supply at 25.6 volts.Input Power: The power drawn from the battery, expressed in watts, which is the product of the battery voltage and power supply current draw.Output Power (Total): The amount of the power, expressed in watts, delivered to all the flash lamps generated by the power supply. This is calculated as the product of total output energy times flash rate per outlet pair, per second (Ptout = Jt x FPM/60).Output Energy (Total): The summation of energy, expressed in joules, for every impulse of light contained in the flash or flash pattern of a lamp. Example: If the pattern is CometFlash®, and the chart shows a value of 15 (6/3), the power sup-ply will deliver an impulse pattern of 6/3/3/3 joules, the total energy is 15 joules.Output Energy (Per Lamp): The energy delivered to each lamp, expressed in joules, when all lamps are active assuming the lamps are of the same imped-ance, i.e. the lamps are of same type and age.Low Power Control: +Latch: If +12 or 24 volts (momentary or hard switched) is applied to the Hi-Lo input when the power supply is operating, it will switch to a low power mode. The power supply will remain in low power (latched) until it is turned off and +12 or 24 volts is removed from the low power control input. A momentary switch is preferred here.Low Power Control: Level: Applying +voltage to the Violet wire for more than 1 sec. holds the power supply in low power mode until that voltage is removed. A toggle switch is preferred here.+Toggle: Switching between power modes, from high power to low power and back from low power to high power, may be accomplished by applying +12 or 24 volts (momentary) to the Hi-Lo input each time a change is desired.The power supply will always start in the high power mode when the low power control line is grounded or left not terminated.Outlet Switching: If the power supply features outlet switching, and its power leads are connected to the battery, +12 volts applied to any of the Outlet Switching inputs will activate the power supply with either 2, 4, 6, or 8 lamps flashing. These inputs work independently of the flash pattern control inputs. When all outlets are turned off, no current (0 amps) will be drawn from the bat-tery.Impulse: A single ignition (pulse) of the strobe lamp. Multiple impulses can be grouped together to form a flash pattern, i.e. DoubleFlash, TripleFlash™, CometFlash, etc.Flash: A group of impulses. A single flash pattern only has one (1) impulse. The CometFlash pattern contains four (4) impulses.Flash Pattern Control (external): If the power supply features flash pattern control, applying +12 volts to the appropriate control input(s) will activate one of the patterns, “see footnote 1”.Input Current Regulation: The power supply is designed with intelligence to sense how many lamps are active and automatically set the input current to provide the optimum amount of power to each lamp. This prevents input current surges and eases the load on the electrical system.Output Regulation: Eliminates flash lamp intensity variations due to flash lamp impedance mis-matching that occurs with mixed use of lamps, i.e. linear and helix type lamps.Scan-Lock™ Flash Pattern Control: A flash pattern control feature which lets you toggle through multiple flash patterns and lock in the one you want, see page 4.NOTICE: For optimum performance and reliability, Whelen strobe power supplies are designed for use with Whelen flash tubes, strobe lightheads and cables only. Substitution of any of these components with non-Whelen products voids all warranties.

Oscilloscope presentations, showing combined operation of both outlets as a single trace, vary in time base.Time base is not to scale for graphic illustrations.TripleFlash™* (A thru F)The TripleFlash pattern is a burst of three strobe impulses with the first impulse at higher power for added emphasis.2x TripleFlash™ (E,F)Same burst as TripleFlash only twice the frequency in the same time period.MicroBurst II™* (A thru F)Each MicroBurst II contains two sets of DoubleFlashes. The lead impulse in each DoubleFlash is produced at higher power for emphasis.2X MicroBurst II™ (E,F)Same burst as MicroBurst II only twice the frequency in the same time period.MicroBurst III™* (A thru F)Each MicroBurst III contains two sets of TripleFlashes. The lead impulse in each TripleFlash is produced at higher power for emphasis.2X MicroBurst III™ (E,F)Same burst as MicroBurst III only twice the frequencyin the same time period.DoubleFlash* (A thru F)Each DoubleFlash is a burst of two strobe impulses, the lead impulse in each burst is produced at a higher power for emphasis.2X DoubleFlash (E,F)Same burst as DoubleFlash only twice the frequency in the same time period.RapidRate™* (A thru F)A fast, aggressive pattern of equally powered and spaced impulses operating at 240 RRFPM (RapidRate Flashes Per Minute).2X RapidRate™ (E,F)Same burst as RapidRate only twice the frequency in the same time period.ActionFlash™* (A thru F)A hybrid pattern that repeats a mix of three CometFlashbursts, followed by six RapidRate flashes.2X ActionFlash™ (E,F)Same burst as ActionFlash only twice the frequency inthe same time period.ModuFlash™* (A thru F)With the ModuFlash pattern, impulse rate and intensity are modulated to produce a sweeping (rising and falling) effect. In one full cycle of this pattern, impulse rate and intensity change inversely.2X ModuFlash™ (E,F)Same burst as ModuFlash only twice the frequency in the same time period.Flash PatternsActionScan™* (A thru D)Scans through all 10 Flash Patterns which are separated by a group of single flashes. (illustrations not shown)CometFlash®* (A thru F)Each CometFlash is a burst of four strobe impulses; the lead impulse in each burst is produced at a higher energy for emphasis.2X CometFlash® (E,F)Same burst as CometFlash only twice the frequency in the same time period.Scan-Lock™ pattern control which lets you toggle through ten flash patterns (marked with asterisk*) and lock in the one you want. Power supply using flash pattern is indicated in red letters.LongBurst™* (A thru D)Each LongBurst is a burst of five strobe impulses.
