Advanced Options Charge Control.

This option allows the unit to either charge automatically acheiving 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 four 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.

HINT: The easiest way to learn the menu, is to play with the system to see whats there. You can’t damage anything.

To adjust the charge control:

Advanced Options Charge Control. Use the & keys to toggle Auto / Slow Charge.
