Flashing Rate:
The unit recharges quickly, as indicated by the READY light on the control
panel. A quick series of flashes can be obtained within the limits of the
recharge time. Continuous rapid flashing, however, can overheat and
damage the flashtube and internal parts. The maximum recommended rate
of flashing depends upon the power level being used and the amount of
operation time. Use the following chart to serve as a guide for the
maximum rate to use in your situation.
