10. POWER INDICATOR «BLINKS»

8. TOTAL POWER

9. INDIVIDUAL POWER OUTPUT

This display indicates the total power released through the lampheads.
The variation is a single steps or if the touch is held it will run continuously.
The first number indicates charges by full f-stop, the second number by 1/10 f-stop.
When the total power is increased each individual lamphead increases proportionately.
The ratio never changes and the power in any one lamphead is limited only by the total power
in the generator.
When this power is reduced your chosen asymmetry remains, but is always variable at your
discretion.

This facility gives subtlety and independence of power control unobtainable in any other way.

The Ws/Joules readout enables you at a glance to evaluate the relative power of each lamphead

which you may change at any time. It varies progressively with the principal power read-out.

The limite are only the maximum power of the pack and the minimum power through one outlet - all

steps being in 1/10th f-stops.

If the power display blinks, the connecting of the lamphead may have given a total Ws/Joules
display of all lampheads of more power than the generator can store.

Press the          touch to reduce the totals of the power displayed to the correct figure. Alternatively,
switch off a lamphead.

Conversely, if at minimum power, a lamphead is disconnected, the power indicator will blink
because there is now more power in the generator than the read-outs in Ws/Joules indicate. Adjust
by pressing        .

N.B. The display will also blink if lamphead power supply is greater than the flashtube can accept, e.g. an
S1500N head fitted to a generator outlet displaying 1500 Ws will not release and the display indicates that there
is an incorrect request.
Adding or removing a lamphead does not change the power programmed into other lampheads. It increases
or decreases the total power stored.
