3.0Getting Started

Remove packaging and ensure the unit is switched Off. Setup a flash head, ensuring the protective cap is removed and the modelling lamp is switched on.

Plug the head into socket A1.

Note : Locate the tapered part of the socket first, then press down on the cable end

to ensure the socket ‘clicks’ into place properly – See diagram below :-

1.Switch the pack On. The unit will show one red display. If - - is shown, press the socket A1 On/Off button to turn the socket on.

2.The pack will now charge to a level proportional to the setting shown on the left most red numeric display.

3.Use the Channel A adjustment buttons to vary the power level from socket A1. Adjust the unit to show 10 on the display. Use the open flash button to discharge the 3000 W/S.

4.Switch the pack off. Plug the head into socket B2. This time the rightmost numeric display will illuminate. Adjust the channel power up to it’s maximum, noting that it will stop at 8.4. This is because the pack becomes asymmetric with any head switched on in channel B.

You are now ready to begin using the pack.

NOTE: If the unit has been left unused for 6 months or predominantly used with 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.
