Charging the Battery Cassette

•Connect the charger to the mains supply and switch on.

•A red indicator on the charger shows that the Cassette is charging normally.

•In the unlikely event that the indicator shows yellow then there is a fault and the Cassette and charger should be disconnected.

•The green indicator briefly flickering shows the transition between charging and trickle charge.

•When the indicator shows a steady green colour the Cassette is approximately 90-95% charged and is being trickle charged.

•If possible leave the Battery Cassette to charge for a further 30-60 minutes to ensure that it is fully charged. The Battery Cassette cannot be overcharged if the charger is left connected.

•A full charge from a discharged state may take anytime up to 6 hours depending on the charger used.

•Please read the Battery Cassette safety and maintenance instructions at the end of these instructions.

Controlling the TurboPak

General

The TurboPak is very simple to operate and control as follows:

NOTE: For safety the TurboPak cannot charge any fitted monolight unless all other sockets are fitted with either a dummy plug or a Travel-Pak cable (BW7632) terminated with a monolight. Only monolights switched to position II will be charged.

Turning The Pack On & Off

Turn the TurboPak on and off using the On/Off switch. The TurboPak will immediately display the charge state of the Battery Cassette regardless of the number or type of monolights fitted. If one or more monolights are fitted and switched on then after about 2 seconds the charge indicators will light to indicate a monolight is charging.

Charge Socket

Use only Bowens approved charger's or permanent damage to your unit may result.

The top panel charge socket allows the supplied 2A charger to charge the Battery Cassette when fitted in the unit.
