Bulb mode switch 

Modelling  light  bulb  operation  mode  is  controlled.  There  are  three  modes  available. 

Repeatedly pressing changes operation modes. The round  border of button  shows present 
status of the lamp: 

 

 

Shines steadily – modelling light always shines. 

 

Blinks – light shines only when lamp is ready to flash. 

 

Light off – modelling light doesn’t shine. 

 

Level of modelling light energy is relative to settings of modelling light mode switch (3).

External control panel socket 

Jack RJ-45 connector for connecting an external control panel. Control panel takes over 

control of all functions (except USER settings). When control panel is connected, blue border 
of TEST button is pulsating. Neither buttons on front of the lamp  (except TEST button) nor 
encoder  work.  When  control  panel  changes  the  value,  borders  of  corresponding  buttons 
response. The latest values of lamps are restored when control panel is disconnected. There 
is one type of panel that automatically detects up to which lamp is plugged and takes over its 
control range. 

There  are  almost  no  differences  between  maintenance  of  lamp  by  means  of  control 

panel  and  of  main  front  panel  of  the  lamp.  There  are  the  same  symbols  that  make  the 
maintenance  easy.  Each  press  of  button  causes  mode  and  signalling  change.  Energy  control 
element consists of two buttons „-„ and „+”, instead of revolving potentiometer, for utilitarian 
conditions.  Each  press  (7)  or  (2)  button  makes  energy  increased  or  reduced  by  1/10  f-stop. 
Control panel is equipped with cable 10 m long. 

External control panel is not standard equipment. It can be bought separately
