1. Over-Temperature Protection

 

To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not fire more than 75 continuous flashes in fast 
succession at 1/1 full power. After 30 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at least 75 minutes.

 

If you fire more than 75 continuous flashes and then fire more flashes in short intervals, the inner over-
temperature protection function may be activated and make the recycling time over 10 seconds. If this occurs, 
allow a rest time of about 10 minutes, and the flash unit will then return to normal.

 

When the over-temperature protection is started,         is shown on the LCD display.

   Number of flashes that will activate over-temperature protection:

-  27  -

-  28  -
