Two independent Channels, each with two Flash Head sockets, having their own
‘FLASH’ Variator, Modelling ‘LAMP’ Variator and Modelling ‘LAMP’ Control switch.
z
An ‘ISOLATE’ mode which provides the two independently controlled Channels
with half the total flash capacity of the Pack available from either or both sockets in
a particular Channel.
z
A ‘COMBINE’ mode which provides the total flash capacity of the Pack from ANY
single socket or combination of sockets with a single set of controls.
z
Modelling ‘LAMP’ Variator and Modelling ‘LAMP’ Controls independent of Flash
controls.

Digital ‘POWER’ display of the selected total Pack flash capacity and a visible
‘READY’ indication.

AUDIBLE ‘READY’ Sounder with ON/OFF switch to give audible indication of
when the Pack is ready to fire.

A built in fan on the EQUIPE 2400 Pack which automatically switches in to cool
the unit during periods of heavy use.

Special Adapters available to allow certain QUAD heads and accessories to be

Power Supply Connection

The Packs are designed to operate on an alternating current (AC) supply of 200 to
253 Volts, 50 Hz. The Packs must NEVER be connected to any direct current
(DC) supply.
z
The Packs conform to current standards which require connection to a properly
grounded power supply. The 3 core power cord supplied with each Pack will be
colour coded as follows:
Live
(L):
Brown
Neutral
(N):
Blue
Earth
(E):
Green/Yellow
z
It is essential that all 3 wires are connected to the correct plug pins in accordance
with the above colour code and that the cable is securely clamped in the supply
plug.
AC Power Switch
z
The AC Power switch connects power to both the flash and modelling circuits.
The switch is illuminated green when ‘ON’.
z
ALWAYS switch ‘OFF’ the unit before plugging or unplugging Flash Heads,
changing fuses or modelling lamps.
