QUANTUM BATTERY 3
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
The Quantum Battery 3 is a rechargeable power pack designed for (3.6 volt) portable flash systems. These systems
normally operate on 3 alkaline or nicad cell batteries. The Quantum Battery 3 replaces them and provides hundreds
to thousands of flashes per charge and faster recycling times. Its status monitor informs you of battery charge level.
Protected outputs prevent accidental overload, and this powerful, rugged battery can be recharged anytime without
the "memory" effect of nicads.
2. USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
The Quantum Battery 3 supplies power to your flash by means of a Power Module.
Power Module J
The Power Module J was specially designed for use with the Ascor Auto 1600 flash. To use, remove
the battery cap and insert Power Module J into the flash, screw the outer rim of the Power Module
into place.
New modules are continually being developed. The most recent list is available with our brochure or
can be obtained through your dealer, (For custom designed modules - inquire directly to Quantum).
3. BATTERY OPERATION & RECHARGING
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES.
Turn the switch off when not using.
Recharge after each use and store in a fully charged state.
When all 3 green lights go out stop using and recharge immediately. Do not allow the battery to
discharge further.
OPERATION
1. Insert the Power Module into your flash and plug its cord into one of the
Quantum Battery 3 "FLASH" outputs as shown in the drawing on the following
page. You may also connect a second flash to the other "FLASH" output.
Note: Always disconnect a Power Module by pulling on its plug, not the cord.
2. Turn the flash unit and the Quantum Battery 3 on. If the red STOP! indicator
lights, turn the battery off! Either the power module has been placed
incorrectly, it is not the correct Power Module for your flash, or there is a short
circuit. Check the Power Module instructions.
3. Assuming the Power Module is properly placed, the flash will be powered. One, two, or three green indicators
should light, indicating ¼, ½, or ¾ - plus charge left in the battery. The yellow ON indicator will stay lit.
