IMPORTANT NOTES:
- FOR BEST RESULTS, AVOID RUNNING THE CABLE NEAR HIGH
NOISE ENVIRONMENTS
- THE TRIGGER SOURCE AND ISU MUST SHARE A COMMON
GROUND FOR REPEATABLE LIGHTING
- TIE THE BARE DRAIN WIRE OF THE ISU TO A CHASSIS GROUND
OR EARTH GROUND; IF ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE, TIE TO -24V
* OPTIONAL: TIE GRAY TO -24V (BLUE) FOR TIMING BYPASS
SELECTION; OUTPUT PULSE WIDTH WILL MATCH THE INPUT
