Ikelite Strobe Test firing

Is there a way to test fire an ikelite strobe without having it hooked up to a camera?

I didn't quite understand this article and what they wanted to have me do:

It seems I need a paper clip to short a circuit(create a circuit) and cause it to fire. Is this right?

yes, short the circuit on where the article explains. if you switch the strobe on and off repeatedly it will quite often flash as well

Thank you for confirming it. It did seem odd that it would have me create a bridge to cycle the strobe but it functioned.
