During normal use simply rotate the dial to adjust the power to the required level. The unit ready
indication is by means of a ʻsteadyʼ display and a sounder beep (if on) as well as the modelling lamp
indication function when the unit reaches ready (if switched on). While changing the power level the
display flashes at different rates to indicate whether the unit is charging or if there is excess power that
needs dumping. The display will flash ʻquicklyʼ while the unit is charging and flash ʻslowlyʼ to indicate
that there is excess power that needs to be dumped. To test the flash and/or dump any excess power
press the ʻTESTʼ button.
The unit can be triggered via the ʻsync socketʼ connected to the relevant system or via the ʻPhotocellʼ
as required. Other displays may occur during operation to provide warnings of problems or to indicate
the unit status.
To change any of the unitʼs settings first press the ʻMENUʼ button on the side of the unit; ʻSETʼ will be
displayed briefly showing that the unit is entering the user setup options followed by ʻLPʼ (for ʻLamp
settingsʼ) as the first item. Each press of the ʻMENUʼ button takes you down one level of the menu
structure until you cannot go any further; at this point the sounder (if switched on) will provide a warning
beep.
At any menu level turning the rotary control will either select another function/option or change the
setting of the chosen function. Each press of the ʻDONEʼ button takes you up one level until you exit
the user setup mode, at which point ʻEndʼ is displayed. Any altered user setting will be saved to the units
memory. See below illustration for example of how to change the Modelling Lamp settings to off.
