Operating Instructions
Magnolux 1200 - 2400 - 3600
Caution:
Be sure to form the flash capacitors before
using the equipment for the first time as well
as after three months of non-use. To do this,
proceed as follows:
1.
Connect a flash unit to generator chan-
nel I (see section 2)
2.
Set switch (1) to ON.
3.
Use switch (25) to apply full output to
channel I.
4.
Set output control (4) to minimum
output (display (5) showing 1.0).
5.
DO NOT fire the unit!
6.
Leave the unit switched on in this
condition for half an hour.
7.
At intervals of 30 minutes, increase
output by one f-stop until the display
(5) reads power level 5.0.
8.
DO NOT switch on the halogen light for
the entire duration of the forming pro-
cess.
The capacitors are formed after about three
hours, and the unit may be used.
