Setting pSopoStionalit| leQel oY the modelling light KpSopw

The proportionality level of the modelling light can be selected by briefly pressing the

energy control keys "up/down" (18).
With repeated actuation of the key the following modes can be set, each shown

respectively on the digital display (17): LO, P, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, HI.

7.a

Sequence KseSial Ylashesw Kseqw

This function allows to set a defined number of flash discharges from 1 to 50. By briefly

pressing the energy control keys "up/down" (18) the required number of flashes can be

selected. With a long pressure on the energy control keys "up/down", the setting changes

in intervals of ten. Each release signal triggers the selected number of flashes. A current

sequence can be aborted by a long pressure on the energy control keys "up/down" or by

switching off and on again the unit. The function is switched off, by setting the number of

flashes to "0".

FhaSging dimmeS / Zoost Yunction Kdimw

The "dim" function can be switched on or off (on/--) by briefly pressing the energy control

keys "up/down" (18). When switching on the "dim" function with the modelling light on

(green LED of the "mod" key (5) lights up), the modelling light switches off while charging

takes place. This feature allows visual flash control, to fade out the modelling light during

flash sequences or to reduce the current load on weak mains.

If the "dim" function is activated when the modelling light is switched off (green LED of

the "mod" key (5) is off), the boost function will be activated. In this mode, the modelling

light remains on as a visual flash monitor during charging.

7.4

Gu{{eS sOitch on/oYY KZu{w

The ready buzzer signals when the unit is at 100 % charge. The buzzer is switched on or

off (on/--) by briefly pressing the energy control keys "up/down" (18). The warning signal

also functions with the buzzer switched off.

7.I

SloO chaSge sOitch on/oYY KsloOw

In case of weak mains power supply lines, charging time may be extended to approx.

double the standard value. The slow charge mode is switched on or off (on/--) by briefly

pressing the energy control keys "up/down" (18).

7.6

The monolights Minicom are also available as versions with built-in RFS Interface (

ystem). For remote control respectively flash release via radio, an individual

appliance address and a studio desk top (remote control channel) can be assigned to

each RFS unit by means of the function "unit" (16).
