Recharging
The recharging starts when the ON/OFF switch [12] is pushed down. Slow or fast recharging can
be chosen. When the button FAST [10] is released, the generator will recharge slowly. Push
the FAST button [10] for normal recharging cycles; this is sufficient for most kinds of photog-
raphy. The recharging time is approx. 2.8 sec at full energy. When extremely short recharging
times are required, for instance when operating a motor-drive camera, choose lower energy
settings. The lowest energy setting offers the fastest recharging rate (0.18 sec). The generator
is turned off by pressing the button ON [12] for a minimum of three seconds. The generator
automatically turns off when the controls MASTER [13], MOD.LIGHT [11] and the sync out-
lets have not been in use for 30 minutes.
Photocell
The built-in photocell [5] will sense flash release as well as IR-signals from most IR-transmit-
ters. The photocell is disabled when the button marked SLAVE [7] is released. The photocell can
also, via cable, trigger off an additional generator.
Signals, Audible & Visible
One of the indicator lights for the battery charge [3] will light up once the generator is turned
on. The charge indicator [3] is up-dated when the generator is turned on or when a flash is
fired. When all lights light up the generator has no charging value - fire a flash. When the
energy output is changed the white ready lamp [8] turns off thus indicating that dumping of the
energy is in progress. A short ”beep” can be heard when the generator is fully recharged.
Releasing the button SOUND [9] can turn off this signal. The generator can be restarted
directly from a camera, if a sync cord is connected, by shooting a frame. If a flash is fired before
the generator is fully charged a long ”beep” can be heard thus indicating an underexposed frame.
A number of short consecutive ”beeps” - 16 - can be heard before the generator automatically
turns itself off.
