FCC Statement of Compliance

This device complies with Part 15 Part B of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void

the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Expected LED Lifespan

Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than

single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is

40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit

the overall intensity.

2. Introduction

Description

The STRIKE Array 4C is an IP65-rated audience blinder with four independently focusable pods. Intense

RGBA-WW LED output delivers a full range of color as well as a wide choice of white color temperatures

with exceptional color rendering. Industry leading low end dimming performance includes Red Shift which

warms the color temperature of the output as it dims to emulate a classic tungsten look. Variable PWM and

high CRI make the product ideal for broadcast applications. A proprietary Tool-Free interlocking system

enables the STRIKE Array 4C to be interconnected easily with other STRIKE Array-series products for

scalable configurations. Omega-Bracket locks installed on both the yoke and the rear of the product

streamline the truss mounting process.

Features

• Intense 4 pod color blinder/strobe rated IP65 for all-weather use

• Full range of color and excellent rendition of any color temperature of white

• Emulated “red shift” to mimic incandescent fixtures perfectly

• Individual pan (or tilt depending on mount orientation) of each head to allow for directional

adjustment of light output

• Innovative interlocking system to connect multiple Strike Array family fixtures together

• Multiple mounting locations and re-positionable yoke with ¼ turn adapters for creative and

convenient rigging options

• Independent pod control and strobe functionality for high-impact effects on the fly

3. Setup

AC Power

The STRIKE Array 4C has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of

100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current

value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart.

The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.

AC Plug

The STRIKE Array 4C comes with a power input cable terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector

on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power cable which came with the

product has no plug, or if it is necessary to change the plug, use the table below to wire a plug.

USB Software Update

The STRIKE Array 4C allows for software update through USB using the built-in USB port. To update the

software using a USB flash drive, do the following:

1. Power on the product and plug the flash drive into the USB port.

2. Once the flash drive has been detected, the message “Upgrade Firmware” will be displayed.

Press <ENTER>. If a different message appears on the display, search for the updated software in

the menu (Update Firmware) and select from Only This Fixture, Multiple Fixture, or Other

Fixture Type. A list of the updated software files will be displayed.

3. Select the file that needs to be uploaded.

4. If the selected file is correct, the update will start. DO NOT turn off power or disconnect the USB

during the process. The USB update can take several minutes to complete.

5. When the update is complete, the product will automatically reboot.

6. Go to the Information level of the product main menu and confirm the firmware revision.

7. When the boot-up process is finished, restart the product manually.

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Ensure the

product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use

completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the

rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Connection Wire (U.S.) Wire (Europe) Screw Color

AC Live Black Brown Yellow or Brass

AC Neutral White Blue Silver

AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow Green

• Be sure to select the correct file before pressing <ENTER>. DO NOT turn off the power or

disconnect the USB during the process. The USB update can take several minutes to

complete.

• If the selected file is incorrect, the upgrade will fail, and the display will go back to the

main interface. Repeat steps 1–3 using the correct file.

• Place the .chl file in the root directory of the USB drive.

• The product's USB port supports up to 32GB capacity and only works with FAT32 file

format.

Turning off the power, removing the USB, or not setting the fixture to the correct protocol

during the update can cause partial or total firmware failure in the targeted fixture(s).

Please refer to the Upload 25 Instructions to fix firmware failure issues.
