Functions

On/Off Switch (1)

By pressing this touch button the Ranger RX power pack is switched on or off.

Note: In the unlikely case of malfunction, please check the charge and modelling lamp fuses.

Auto OFF – Function (2)

If this function is switched on (indicated by the green LED) the Ranger RX power pack will switch off after 5 min with not in use.

Any re-use of the unit restarts the 5 minutes waiting time, before shutting down. This Auto Off function is to save battery power! 4 Beep signals (if the function is on) indicate that the unit is switching off.

Slow Charge (3)

The green LED indicates that the slow function is selected. In slow mode approx 40 % more flashes are available. (About 110 full power flashes in normal charge mode and approx. 140 flashes with slow charge).

The slow charge mode also increases the battery life, but the recharging time is doubled!

Photocell On/Off (4)

The Photocell (12) is activated when the green LED (4) is illuminated. When switched on, the pack can be remotely triggered by another flash unit! The Ranger RX Photocell is specially designed to work under ambient light situations, but direct sunlight

(or other strong lights) may reduce the sensitivity of the cell.

Modelling Lamp (5)

By pressing this touch button once, the modelling lamp functions for 15 seconds. By pressing the touch twice in 2 seconds, the modelling lamp will switch off after 30 seconds. To switch off the modelling lamp earlier, just press the button again (after two seconds).

The modelling lamp is only available, when using the Free Lite S and A heads. The maximum modelling lamp for the power pack is 100 W / 12 V for only one connected flashhead or 50 W / 12 V each for two connected flashheads.

The modelling lamp fuse 10 AF (quick acting) is inside the housing of the Ranger RX pack. The Battery Box must be released before the fuse can be exchanged.
