Charge Control
This option allows the unit to either charge automatically achieving the fastest possible
charge rate OR allows the selection of a SLOW charge rate.
In using the pack, the user must consider the electrical load placed upon the mains supply.
As a worst case, with 4 heads plugged in using 650W of modelling each, the mains supply
could be overloaded with continual fast charge cycling. In such cases, switch to SLOW
charge or use the lamps in intermittent mode, so that the loading is reduced during charge
cycles.

Triggering System
The unit maybe triggered from the following sources
1.
A sync plug in either of ¼" jack-type socket sockets will trigger the pack if the
READY LED is lit. The sync supply is nom5V for low voltage camera
operation. These sockets may also be used with Radio and IR triggers to provide
a synchronous trigger.
2.
Test/Open Flash button. The unit will only flash if the unit is charged and the
‘READY’ LED is either lit or flashing.
3.
Remote Photo Cell. When switched On, the unit will trigger in response to an
external flash of light, if the READY LED is lit. Ensure the sloping panel is
exposed clearly to the triggering light source.
4.
IR Remote Control Test. With the IR receiver switch, the unit can be triggered by
the open flash test button on the IR handset.
Adjust the FLASH & MODELLING controls to provide the desired settings and select any
options required. Refer to the section on operation of the controls if required. Test flash the
unit by pressing the TEST button.
Excess energy is automatically dumped when the flash power setting is reduced. Both
increasing and decreasing the power setting generates heat inside the unit. Therefore
avoid repetitive Up and Down power changes.
Refer to page 12 if you intend to make continuous use of the fast recycling feature of the
unit.
NOTE: If the unit is left unused for 6 months or predominantly used at low power settings it
is recommended that the power be increased to maximum and the unit left switched on
occasionally for at least 30 minutes to help preserve the life of the capacitors.
