time-lag. Check this fuse for failure.  Please refer to the SHUTTER FUSE REPLACEMENT 
section of this manual. 

10.

 

Be advised, a visual inspection of a fuse is usually NOT an adequate test to determine if a fuse 
has failed.  Use a DMM (Digital Multi-Meter) or equivalent test device to determine fuse 
continuity.  

11.

 

Additionally, please note that particular shutter units respond to different minimum pulse widths.  
For example, a standard VS25 shutter has a minimum exposure pulse of 6 msec.  If the timing is 
set for an exposure pulse width less than 6 msec, the shutter may not open fully.  

12.

 

If the unit still does not operate properly, turn off and disconnect the unit.  Please notify Vincent 
Associates immediately.  There are no user-serviceable parts outside or inside of the unit. 

 

CAUTION 

Turn off the unit and remove the plug from the AC source before 
checking for blown fuses
