I have strobes that have a Siemens label on them. They are clearly wheelock strobes, just with a Siemens sticker on them. Do they sync with wheelock? There isn't a special Siemens sync is there?

I know Bosch used to have their own private label strobes as well, but it was just a wheelock.

If you try to use Siemens appliances with a Wheelock NAC booster, or vice versa, they will not work properly. You'll get sync drift. Even though the Siemens appliances are made by Wheelock, they tweak the sync circuit to force you to buy the Siemens branded appliances to go with Siemens panels.
