A 30mm x 15mm device that weighs 0.8gm and runs on one,two or three lipo cells, Can be programmed by a T.V. Infra Red remote to alter the timing of power bursts to a very bright bulb filament in steps of 0.1seconds and will record parameters for a repeating sequence of over 12 seconds.
The Strobe ZAPPER can be ordered with a pre programmed sequence loaded and there is no need to purchase the remote.

STROBE ZAPPER
Any flash sequence you want up to 12 seconds then repeat can be user programmed.
This is a High power strobe for models.
It has the same type of control system as the free flight timers in that you use a tv remote (zapper) to programme the strobe light timing.
It can run off a range of voltages.
Can be user programmed for different types of flash.
Is extremely bright.
once programmed it will run the strobe sequence automatically on power up
specification
1s(requires bulb change),2s and 3sLipo
128 x 0.1 second steps over 12 seconds of recording time
8 different power levels
STROBE ZAPPER instructions
IMPORTANT Read all the instructions and go through the initial setup procedure before connecting a
bulb to the Strobe Zapper. The Strobe ZAPPER is not protected from reverse polarity so use polarised power connectors
Principle
Bulb filaments do not like being taken from ambient/cold up to the thousands of degrees then back down again to produce flashing white light. This is usually the time bulbs "pop". By warming the bulb first the ZAP Strobe is able to create bright flashes of light quickly and long enough for the human eye to see them clearly. Unlike the Strobe ZAPPER xenon strobes have a very short flash time which appears much dimmer to the eye.
Remote buttons 1 through 8 = brightness levels 0 (marked10/0) = repeat command 9 = play Red power = stop
Now we can try an initial setup * Apply power to the STROBE ZAPPER by connecting the battery * Press the red power button on the remote (this will stop the Strobe ZAPPER output) * Hold the 1 button down for 10 seconds (the remote auto repeats and will record approx 10 1's) * Press the 0 (marked 10/0 on the remote) * Now press 9 to start the STROBE ZAPPER The led on the STROBE ZAPPER should glow dimly
When the STROBE ZAPPER sees the 0 in the recording it repeats from the start You now should have recorded a sequence something like: 11111111110 This will run the bulb at a power level of 1 for 1 second (10*0.1s) then repeat
Making the Strobe ZAPPER flash * Apply power to the STROBE ZAPPER by connecting the battery * Press the red power button on the remote (this will stop the STROBE ZAPPER output) * Now input 11111414111110 (all short presses) * Now press 9 to start the STROBE ZAPPER It should now glow( 1x5) flash(4x1) glow(1x1) flash(4x1) glow(1x5) repeat(1x0)
Examples: 1111141414111110 = 3 rapid flashes once per second at brightness 4 1111151515111110 = 3 rapid flashes once per second at brightness 5 610 = continuous short flashing at brightness 6
You can record up to 128 individual short key presses (the last one must be 0) Each key press is approx 0.1 seconds long on playback Holding a button down records the same button once per second
IMPORTANT When installing the Strobe zapper wiring try to keep wires away from the existing radio installation wires DO NOT! bundle them together with servo runs
After installation check your radio system is not affected by the Strobe ZAPPER by doing proper range checks before any attempt at flight.
The Strobe ZAPPER is designed to run bulbs harder than normal when using the higher settings, This can reduce their life and should be taken into account when setting power/brightness levels.
Connecting the bulb The Strobe Zapper has 4 wires pre installed Red,Black and two others the same colour
Red positive (max 3s 12.6volts) Black negative matching colour Bulb matching colour Bulb
Strip approximately 14mm of insulation from the end of one of the bulb wires twist the strands then fold the exposed and twisted strands approx in half. Now push the prepared stripped wire into a piece of supplied heatshrink 20mm long stopping just before it protrudes out the other side now insert one of the bulb pins from the opposite side of the heat shrink ensuring the pin does not push the wire back. You should now have the bare wire and one of the bulb pins fully inserted and next to each other inside the heatshrink. Now warm the heatshrink till everything is tight. high modulus silicon can be used to secure the wires to the bulb(not supplied). Repeat for second pin.
The bulb can be secured in position on the model with silicon (not supplied). Please bear in mind the temperatures the bulb may achieve in use as it is possible some finishes could be affected by the heat.

This is an example of the sort of visibility you get
