Flash Power:

All settings and controls of the PowerLight 1250 are extremely stable and

repeatable due to the use of an internal microcomputer. The PowerLight 1250 is

adjustable from 16 watt seconds to 500 watt seconds.

To adjust the PowerLight 1250 to its lowest flash power setting (16 watt seconds),

slide the FLASH control knob all the way to the left.

To adjust the PowerLight 1250 to its greatest flash power setting (500 watt

seconds), slide the FLASH control knob all the way to the right.

Intermediate power settings are continuously variable from lowest power to highest

power.

To adjust the PowerLight 1250 to an exact flash power setting, use the accessory

digital display, PLDD-1 (919177).

Ready Light:

The PowerLight 1250 is fully charged when the READY lamp is on. Lowest power

(16 ws) charge time is a maximum of .5 seconds and at full power (500 ws) time

is a maximum of 1.5 seconds. The unit may be flashed before fully charged.

Modeling Light:

The modeling light has three modes of operation:

1. MANUAL adjustment (press the MANUAL button. LED on) adjusts the

modeling lamp intensity with the MODEL slide control knob. As with

flash power, minimum setting is full left and maximum setting is full

right. The MODEL intensity scale corresponds to the FLASH intensity

scale, measures in f-stops.

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 setting, by simply

pressing the TRACK/SET button a second time, (you will notice the TRACK/

SET LED light blink once) with the FLASH control knob in the desired position.

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 the power has been turned off.
