The 5 metre sync cord can without restrictions be elongated with a sync extension cable.

Sound signal

(9)

The acoustic signal "beeps" when the unit is fully recycled. The

 

signal can be turned on/off with the SOUND switch (9)

 

Recycling Time

(6)

With the button fast/slow (6) the recycling time can be adjusted

 

to slow to preserve weak fuses or heavily loaded mains sup-

(4)

plies. Slow recycling puts less pressure on fuses.

 

Modelling Light Control

 

With the mod. light switch (4) select the desired mode of

 

operation if you want maximum mod. light , mod.light off or

 

a possibility of dimming the mod. light in order to receive a

(3)

proportional mod. light. To dim the dim. light use the Mod A(2) dial to control the head connected to group A(17) and the Mod B(3) dial for the head(s) connected to group B(19, 20).

Automatic Safety Function

If the unit is under intensive use with frequent flashing for an extreme long period of time, the recycling will stop completely. This is to prevent the unit from overheating and is indicated by a red light in the photocell(11)

The overheat protection in the Acute2 head turns off the model- ling light when the head is overheated. The protection functions are automatically reset when the temperature is lowered.

Protection from wrongly set mains voltage selector switch inhibits charging for 5 seconds and shuts off if wrongly set. For quality reasons, the first charging cycle is longer than the following.
