      4. Using the Lightning Clamp

      1) Attach the Lightning Clamp onto a light stand.

      2) To attach the Control Box, rotate the release lever to unlock the quick-release plate. Then mount the Control Box onto the Lightning Clamp (the release lever will spring back)and check that it is secure.

      3) To remove the Control Box, grasp it firmly, and unlock the quick-release plate by rotating its lever.

      SU5

      The Lightning Clamp can attach to round or square fittings with a diameter of 2-5cm / 0.79-1.97 in.

      5.Connecting the Lamp Head to the Control Box

      Connect the Lamp Head to the Control Box using the 5-pin Weatherproof Head Cable. 

      SU6

      6. Powering Up the Control Box

      1) By AC

      SU7

      To disconnect the cable, pull back on the silver release tab on the cable connector, and rotate the connector counter clockwise. Do not pull directly on the cable.

       

      2) By V-Mount or A-Mount Battery

      SU8

      V-Mount or Gold Mount Batteries are not included, and should be purchased separately.

      Please use batteries with an output voltage of 14.4V or 14.8V. Using batteries with any other voltage will cause the lamp to shut down, enter protection mode, and prevent normal operation.

      You must use two batteries simultaneously to operate the STORM400x via DC power. It does not support single-battery operation. Each battery must provide at least 10A continuous discharge current to sustain 50% output.

      You can configure the system’s maximum DC power output to 60%, 75%, or 100%. Achieving these levels requires two batteries, each capable of a continuous discharge current of 12A, 15A, or 20A, respectively.

      If a battery’s actual maximum discharge current is lower than the system setting, the protection mechanism will engage, preventing the lamp from operating normally.
