Photocell switch
Photocell is switched off
Photocell is switched on; the FP 250 will only be released if it receives a strong enough light or IR light impulse
Photocell is switched on and ignores some camera´s metering pre-flash; the FP 250 will be released when the
camera´s main flash is released (if the main flash is released not later than 1/500 seconds after the pre-flash
was released)

Acoustic Control switch
Acoustic Control is switched off
Acoustic Control is switched on - a repeated tone is followed by one longer tone which indicates the FP 250 is ready
for flash release after changing the flash light output power or after successfully releasing a flash
Acoustical control is switched on - one single tone indicates the FP 250 is ready for flash release after changing the flash
light output power or after successfully releasing a flash
10
and
11
Flash light output power control button plus and minus - allows the variable setting of the flash units power over 4
f-stops
Example:
• the digital indicator of your HEDLER FP 250 shows 3, your light meter indicates f-stop 8 and 3/10 (=f-stop 9)
• for your actual lighting idea you need f-stop 11 and 3/10 (=f-stop 13)
• press the flash light output power control plus button until the digital indicator shows 4 instead of 3
• please do another light metering
• your light meter should display approx. f-stop 11 and 3/10
Please note:
Because of your Studio situation (colour of the wall, size, reflections, etc.) and the combination with additional flash
light units, it may happen that a changing of the flash light output power (which will be displayed additionally by the
digital indicator) does not lead to the expected f-stop increase/decrease. This is not an error of the system but the
result of the conditions within the situation. In that case please adjust the flash light output power rotary control until
light metering shows the needed f-stop value.

Pilot Range switch (Pilot light output power additional function)
Pilot light output power additional function is switched off
Pilot light output power additional function is switched on - pilot light output power is set to 100% without changing
the actual flash light output power setting
Pilot light output power additional function is switched on - pilot light output power is set to 50% without changing the
actual flash light output power setting
14
Wing bolt incl. friction brake - open the wing bolt by a counter-clockwise turn and the tilting of the FP 250 can be
adjusted to your required lighting angle. Always secure the wing bolt and friction brake with a clockwise turn to avoid
unwanted movement or damage to the HEDLER FP 250 and/or injury to the user
15
Spring-secured pre-locking - is used to prevent unwanted disconnecting from a light stand or a wall boom with a 5/8“
male adapter; to disconnect you must press the pin and lift the complete light unit at the same time
16
5/8” Quick-Lock Light Stand Attachment - allows use with every secure and sufficiently strong light stand (ALWAYS
check the light stand´s maximum load capicity) with 5/8“ male adapter
17
Wing bolt - open the wing bolt by a counter-clockwise turn and the horizontal rotating of the FP 250 can be adjusted
to the required position. ALWAYS secure the wing bolt with a clockwise turn to avoid any unwanted movement of the
FP 250 around the horizontal axis (if connected to an upright standing light stand)
