Charging and recycling
Check that the voltage selector (7) and the frequency -
selector(8) matches the mains supply voltage. Turn on the main
switch POWER (1).
The recycling time is very short. Variations may occur depend-
ing on the selected flash energy and the mains power supply.
The shortest recycling time is obtained with low flash energy
selected with the A-, B- and A+B / A<->B-switches and the
BRACKET (15) dial.
Flash duration
The shortest flash duration is obtained by using an Acute2 twin
connected to the B sockets, the BRACKET dial set to 1/1,
the A+B/A<->B switch to the A<->B position and the B
switch set at 1/4.
Photo Cell
The built-in photo cell (11) will sense flash release as well as
IR-signals from most IR-transmitters. The photocell is turned
off with the switch SLAVE (10).
Ready lamp/test button
The ready lamp button TEST (5) has two functions. First, it
lights up when the unit is fully recycled. Second, it can be used
to manually sync the unit. When you have chosen a lower energy
setting with the dial BRACKET (15), release a flash and the
unit will recycle for the new energy setting.
Connecting Camera and Flash meter
Synchronise by connecting the sync cable from the camera or
flash meter to the sync socket (16).
