the photographer to see from the camera position that all Esprit units in use 
have fired.  

With the switch set to ‘Continuous’ the modelling light remains ‘ON’ all the 
time.  

The modelling light may be varied in ratio with the flash power output by 
aligning the indicator line on the Modelling Lamp Control (Fig.2) with that of 
the Flash Power Control (Fig.2). 

9. 

Audible ‘Ready’ Confirmation    

Set the Sounder Switch (Fig.1) to ‘ON’ to give a short beep when the unit 
comes to ready, to provide an audible ‘Ready’ confirmation.

 

10. Fuse 

The modelling and flash circuitry is protected by a single 10 amp (F) 20mm 
fuse mounted on the rear panel (Fig.1). Never replace the fuse with one of a 
different rating. As the fuse may blow when the modelling lamp fails always 
check the fuse when replacing the lamp. A spare fuse is supplied in the fuse 
holder. Always switch OFF the Esprit 1500 before changing the fuse or lamp. 

11. 

Fitting / Removing A Reflector 

A range of reflectors is available for the Esprit 1500.  To fit, slide the neck of 
the reflector over the front of the unit. Align the three pegs on the reflector 
with the three slots in the retaining ring, press down and turn clockwise to 
lock. 

To remove the reflector, press the Latch Knob (Fig.2), turn the reflector fully 
anti-clockwise and withdraw. 

If an umbrella is to be used a ‘Spill Kill’ (BW-1885) should be fitted and the 
umbrella inserted through the hole in the mounting bracket on the Spill Kill 
and locked into position with the knurled screw. 

12. 

Replacing the Modelling Lamp 

Switch off the unit and disconnect from the supply.  Remove the Glass Dome 
(Fig.2) by depressing the Dome Retaining Buttons (Fig.2) and lifting it away 
from the unit.   

Take care removing the old modelling lamp from the holder, particularly if the 
glass is broken.  Plug the replacement modelling lamp into the holder. Do not 
touch the replacement lamp with fingers.  Use clean impervious cloth, paper or 
the lamp packaging materials. Discard the old modelling lamp safely using the 
packaging from the new lamp. 

Hook the glass dome over one of the dome retaining buttons, depress the other 
button and refit the dome over the ridge in the top hat.  Ensure that both 
buttons drop into the retaining holes in the dome (marked with a small white 
line).
