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.

Introduction

Strike Array 2 User Manual Rev. 4

2. Introduction

Description

The Strike Array 2 is an outdoor-ready audience blinder powered by two 100 W warm white LEDs housed

in independently focusable pods. An emulated “amber shift” warms the color temperature of the light as it

dims to deliver a classic tungsten look. Its variable PWM and high CRI make it ideal for broadcast

applications. Thanks to a custom interlocking system, the Strike Array 2 can be interconnected with

multiple Array units for scalable design configurations without any tools. Omega-Bracket locks are also

installed both on the yoke and the back of the IP65 blinder to give a streamlined truss mounting process.

Features

• Operating modes:

• 1 Ch (1-channel): Dimmer

• 2 Ch (2-channel): White mode LED1, white mode LED2

• 3 Ch (3-channel): Dimmer, red shift, dimmer speed mode

• 4 Ch (4-channel): White mode LED1, white mode LED2, red shift, dimmer speed mode

• 5 Ch (5-channel): Dimmer, red shift, strobe, auto programs, dimmer speed mode

• 8 Ch (8-channel): Dimmer, 16-bit dimmer, red shift, strobe, white mode LED1, white mode

LED2, auto programs, dimmer speed mode

• Intense 2 pod blinder/strobe rated IP65 for all-weather use

• 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 2s and Strike Array 4s together.

• Multiple mounting locations with ¼ turn adaptors for creative and convenient rigging options

• 16-bit dimming control for smooth, perfect fades

• Strobe functionality for high-impact effects on the fly

• Easy to use OLED display

• Adjustable Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and RDM (Remote Device Management) for added

flexibility

3. Setup

AC Power

The Strike Array 2 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 2 comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector on

one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the cable has no plug or the plug needs to

be changed, use the table below to wire a plug.

Power Linking

It is possible to power link Strike Array 2 products. See the table below for the current draw at each voltage

and frequency:

Never exceed 12 A on a single circuit. Power-linking cables can be purchased separately.

Remote Device Management

Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate

bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the

manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Strike Array 2 supports RDM protocol that

allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

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

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.
