N.B. For even less load on the power supply line use and jointly. The modelling
lamps automatically extinguish when the generator is charging but illuminate
when the charge cycle ends.
When the indicator of the
touch (12) is illuminated and will sound whenever a command has been
accepted by the generator (useful when using the IR handset).
There is an audible signal after each recharge. It indicates that the generator is ready.
Continuous signalling indicates a false request or malfunction.
Please check generator and lamphead connections.
5. INITIAL CHARGE
7. AUDIBLE RECHARGE SIGNAL
Having pressed this button release a flash, the green led «READY» light will appear again once the
unit is recharged. If the green light does not appear the charge system could by defective.
Please contact and send to an authorized Elinchrom service.
N.B. Situation 2, as above is the only time when the open flash will function while the indicator blinks.
At other times, the generator is not ready (still charging or fed with incorrect requests) and will
therefore not function.
6. OPEN FLASH «TEST»
NOTE :
The "Digital" unit have an integrated discharge system, protected by a thermic switch.
In order to restrict the heating of the unit, we suggest to release a flash with the green button (8)
"READY" after each strong reduction of power (more than 2f-stop).
This allows to release the excess of energy in the flash tube. You will gain time and extend the life
span of your power packs.
If the generator has been recently used and the capacitors do not require «reforming», the
generator will charge at the speed setting indicated, i.e. fast, normal or slow.
If the generator has been recently used , to reform the capacitors it will charge slowly. If the desired
speed setting is fast or normal, the appropriate indicator will glow, but the slow charge indicator will
blink to show that for this one charge sequence it has automatically taken control.
