Dimming
To turn on the F8 press and release the Dimmer knob. Press and
release again to turn the light off. Turn the Dimmer knob to the right to
increase brightness and to the left to decrease brightness.
LED Display:
The LED display will shut off after 5 seconds of inactivity.
To make the display reappear press either button.
Focus Adjustment
The focus knob contains a passive braking system that allows the
bellows to stay in place when the light is in a downward position. For
this system to work properly, there will be a small amount of rotational
movement that engages and disengages the brake at the focus knob
without moving the bellows. This is normal operation. The center
screw that holds the focus knob in place should not be overtightened
or the braking system will not work properly.
Turn the focus knob on the back of the unit to change the output
between spot and flood. At flood position the lens housing will
automatically extend approximately 1” [25mm]. Compress the lens
housing below this level by hand for packing & transport only.
CAUTION: Do not move the lens housing by hand between the flood
& spot positions. Do not force the focus knob past its end stops.

F8 Fresnel
Operations
Power Supply:
The Zylight F8 Fresnel contains an automatic voltage
switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into the
power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about the
correct power voltage; this unit can be plugged into any outlet rated for
100-240v AC. Also, be sure to only use the included power cable
supplied with the unit.
Power is supplied through a standard 4-pin XLR connector using either
the included Worldwide AC Adapter (P/N 13-17005) or a suitable 14.4V
battery. Please observe correct polarity. Batteries that indicate a full
charge when idle may quickly drop in capacity when under load. For
optimal operation please fully charge batteries before use and be sure
they are rated to provide up to 100W of continuous power, with at least
8.3 amps.
