The control range of the flash energy extends per channel:
a) when using one lamp base outlet:
from 3050 J down to 190 J (optional down to 95 J)
b) when using both lamp base outlets:
from 1525 J down to 95 J (optional down to 50 J) per lamp base
In asymmetrical mode, a maximum of 3050 J can be drawn from each lamp socket
respectively channel with Topas A8 Evolution. Consequently Topas A Evolution power
packs are in asymmetrical mode compatible with all broncolor lamp bases. Should the
total power pack energy of 6100 J be triggered from one individual lamp base, a Pulso
Twin lamp must be used which, in comparison with a Pulso 8 lamp, results in a shorter
flash duration.
If the power pack Topas A8 Evolution operates in symmetrical mode, the full power
pack energy of 6100 J can be drawn from any socket. This requires the use of a Pulso 8
lamp however. For safety reasons, smaller lamps are blocked in this operating mode.
The advantage of the Pulso 8 lamp in comparison with the Twin lamp is its single and
longer lamp cable, which is also suitable for large installations.

Operation Topas A2 on mains (AC-line) 100 V
If the unit is set to individual energy distribution the power is divided between the two
lamp base outlets as follows:
Lamp base outlet 1 = 60%.
The control range of the flash energy extends between 700 J down to 45 J
(optional down to 20 J)
Lamp base outlet 2 = 40%.
The control range of the flash energy extends between 500 J down to 30 J
(optional down to 15 J)
3.2.5
Operation Topas A4 on mains (AC-line) 100
V
If the unit is set to individual energy distribution the power is divided between the two
lamp base outlets as follows:
Lamp base outlet 1 = 70%.
The control range of the flash energy extends between 1700 J down to 105 J
(optional bis 55 J)
Lamp base outlet 2 = 30%.
The control range of the flash energy extends between 700 J down to 45 J
(optional bis 20 J)
