Photogenic Professional Lighting Powerlight Manual (various) - Manual (Page 15)

Modeling Light:
The modeling light has three modes of operation:
1. MANUAL (press the ADJUST button to turn the MODEL yellow LED on) adjusts
the modeling lamp intensity using the 1/2 or 1/10 f-stops UP/DOWN arrow
buttons. Pressing the MANUAL button a second time will change the mode to
flash adjustment and is indicated by the illuminated red LED.
2. TRACK mode causes the modeling lamp intensity to track the FLASH setting.
The modeling lamp may be set to full intensity at any FLASH value, by simply
pressing the TRACK/SET button a second time, with the FLASH already set
to desired watt-seconds. Setting is retained when user returns from another
mode.
3. FULL ON/OFF. Press the FULL ON/OFF button to turn the modeling lamp OFF
(LED off) or ON (LED on) at full power.
All mode settings are retained, even after power has been turned off.
Test Function:
Press the TEST button to fire the flash tube for test purposes.
Misfire Indication:
The display will show “- - - -” if there is a misfire. Press the test button to reset.
Additionally, the Solair PowerLights are equipped with audible alarm if the flash
has not fired properly. This audible feature can be turned ON (LED on) or OFF
(LED off) with the Misfire/Auto bracket button. To activate or deactivate this alarm
feature press this button once. If the yellow light next to the button is illuminated
this feature is ON.
Flash Indication:
The PowerLight indicates the flash has fired properly. The flash indication
feature will dim the modeling light to its lowest setting, then intensify slowly to full
brightness or to its original state. This will occur after each flash, even though the
modeling light may be off. This feature is turned ON (LED on) or OFF (LED off)
with the FLASH INDICATION button.
Automatic Flash Dump:
This feature will automatically flash the unit when the FLASH setting is lowered;
otherwise, the internally stored power is discharged through a resistor, before the
unit is READY. Flash Dump is faster. This feature can be turned on or off, by the
user.
Turn FLASH DUMP on: Turn PowerLight AC power off. With unit power off, press
and hold the FULL ON/OFF button. While holding the FULL ON/OFF button,
turn the unit ON and wait until the FULL ON/OFF LED blinks. Release the FULL
ON/OFF button.
