Analog Strobe Control?

Former Member

Does anyone have the specs for the control signal for an analog strobe? I've seen it listed as "0-10v" - I assume this is +10vDC? Does the voltage regulate the speed (0=off, +5v=medium, +10v=fastest), or does each pulse of the input signal cause a single flash, regardless of duration of the input signal? Or something in-between? What is the current draw required?

Here's what I'm trying to do: I need to set up 3 or 4 analog strobes and be able to have each one flash on command. Just 1 flash, then sit and wait until it is told to flash again - which could be seconds or many minutes (hours?) later. I have a DMX controller which will send the "flash" signal, and an ADJ multi-data/pak which will convert the signal to analog. It seems like I should be able to set the analog converter to +10v output, make an adapter to go from the DB25 output to four 1/4" mono jacks, and I'm done. Then again, it sounds too easy. Any ideas?

One 10v pulse = one flash M8.
The easiest way to do it to suit your needs, is to use a small 12v battery, this could be wired to a push buttons for each of your strobes. Even a small 9v battery may trigger them. current consumption is very low, battery would last for ages. Dek.
