• The generator will now recharge for an overexposed frame, which is indicated by the ready

lamp lighting up for longer periods.

• Shoot the second frame

• The generator will now recharge for an underexposed frame, which is indicated by the ready

lamp lighting up for shorter periods

• Shoot the third frame

• The generator will now recharge for a normal exposure, and so on.

Turn the MASTER control towards the arrow each time new light readings are made.

When more than one generator is involved in autobracketing and all generators have been set

up and prepared, the sequence is initiated by pressing the ready lamp button of the generator

where the sync cord is connected. If unsynchronised flashing occurs on any generator, adjust by

first disconnecting the lamp cable and then press the ready lamp until the ”right” blinking

rhythm is obtained.

Automatic Safety Functions

If the generator overheats for any reason a protective system will automatically start up. The

generator’s recharging intervals will slow down and eventually the recharging will stop com-

pletely. After a while, when the temperature has decreased sufficiently, the generator will start

recharging at a normal pace. This automatic protection will only start up under extreme

conditions when the air vents are blocked for some reason. Due to the fast recharging, in

TURBO [14] mode, at ”exceptional” recharging speed (energy turnover) sensitive parts of the

equipment, such as the flash tubes are protected, by lengthening the recharging time.

PLEASE NOTE:

The air vents of the generator must never be blocked or covered in any way.

Never store your ﬂash equipment in a car on a hot and sunny day. Never use a generator that is

placed inside a case or transport box. Avoid storing the generator close or below the freezing point,

which can lead to loss of capacity (ﬂash output) and risk of condensation when used in a warmer

surrounding immediately. Do not expose any ﬂash equipment to wet or humid environments or

extreme electro-magnetic ﬁelds.
