Two  stop  Variator  Conrol  -  Fine-tune  your 
power  settings  in  0.2  stop  detented  incre-
ments.  Used  in  combinations,  the  power 
control switches and Variator provide a total 
of 18 different power settings with a single 
flash  head,  going  as  low  as  15  watt/ 
seconds. 

3.

 

Power  Control  Switches  –  Three  position 
full/half/quarter  power  switches  provide 
power settings over a three stop range per 
channel.  (These  can be  trimmed  using  the 
Variator or combined using the Ratio output 
switch.)

Proportional  Modeling  Light  Controls-Five 
position  proportional  modeling  light  switch 
allows  you  to  control  the  ratio  of  your 
modeling  light  for  pre-visualization.  Flash 
head  fans  always  run  at  full  speed  re-
gardless of switch position. 

5.

 

Flash Head Outlets – The pack is capable of 
accepting up to four heads and each is outlet 
is  arc  protected.  This  means  that  it  is

is especially useful when you are dragging the shutter so the modeling lights will not effect exposure. It also redirects the power 
from the pack when recycling as the modeling lights draw an additional 2 amps of power each. 

7.

 

AC Power Cord Socket and Circuit Breaker - Offers easily reset-able protection. 

8.

 

Ratio/Combined  Output  Switch  -  An  indicator  light  tells  you  whether  your  power  is  routed  symmetrically  or  asymmetrically 
between the “A” and “B” flash head outlet banks.
