Automatic Dump Flash

This feature will automatically flash the unit when the FLASH setting is lowered; otherwise, the internally stored power is discharged through a resistor, before the unit is READY. Flash Dump is faster. This feature can be turned on or off, by the user.

Turn FLASH DUMP on: Turn PowerLight AC power off. With unit power off, press and hold the FULL ON/OFF button. While holding the FULL ON/OFF button, turn the unit power on and wait until the FULL ON/OFF LED blinks. Next, release the FULL ON/OFF button and the FULL ON/OFF LED will go off.

Turn FLASH DUMP off: Turn PowerLight AC power off. With unit power off, press and hold the MANUAL button. While holding the MANUAL button, turn the unit power on and wait until the MANUAL LED blinks. Next, release the MANUAL button and the MANUAL LED will go off.

Also, each time the AC line power is disconnected or switched off, the flashtube will flash. This removes most of the flash capacitor charge to prolong the life of the unit and is a much safer condition for storage, transporting, and replacement of flash tube or modeling lamp. This is a feature, over which the user has no control.

To assign a UNIT NUMBER: Turn PowerLight AC power off. With unit power off, press and hold the 1/2 UP arrow button. While holding the 1/2 UP arrow button, turn the unit power on. Digital display should be “un #”, where # means some number 1 to 9. Next, release the 1/2 f-stop UP arrow button. Change the UNIT number using the 1/10 UP/DOWN arrow buttons. Close the assignment feature and save the UNIT number by pressing the 1/2 UP arrow button.
