• SET: Enables setting of radio channel and group.
• OFF: The generator is set to sync via cable.
• SLAVE: The generator is set to sync via photocell / IR.
ready signaling
Ready signaling is used to indicate when the generator is 100% fully charged. The Ready
Control [16] is used to select one of four ready signaling alternatives:
• OFF: No ready signal. This setting also disables the sound indicating that a switch is
pressed or a control is turned.
• DIM: The modeling light will be turned off when the generator is being charged, and
turned on again when the charging is completed. This setting also disables the sound
indicating that a switch is pressed or a control is turned.
• BEEP: A clear ”beep” will sound to indicate that the charging of the generator is
completed. This setting also enables the sound indicating that a switch is pressed or a
control is turned.
• BEEP-DIM: The modeling light will be turned off when the generator is being charged, and
turned on again when the charging is completed. A clear ”beep” will also sound to indicate
that the charging is completed. This setting also enables the sound indicating that a switch
is pressed or a control is turned.
Speed control
The versatile recycling speed settings make it possible to efficiently utilize the mains
power supply by adjusting and optimizing the maximum possible speed and load without
blowing fuses. The generator’s amperage load from the mains power supply corresponds
proportionally to the speed setting.
The Speed Control [18] is used to select one of four recycling speed settings:
• 25% The slow recycling speed is four times as long as the MAX recycling speed. This
alternative shall be selected when the generator is connected to a mains power supply
with weak fuses, when you are uncertain as to how well the mains power supply is fused
and when weak gas generators are used for charging. It may allow tree or four generators
to be connected to the same wall outlet or fuse group.
• 50x The fast recycling speed is twice as long as the MAX recycling speed. This setting
may allow two generators to be connected to the same wall outlet or fuse group.
• 75% The extra fast recycling speed is slightly longer than the extremely fast MAX
recycling speed. It reduces load by 25% and may prevent sensitive types of fuses to blow.
The recharge speed is anyhow extremely fast compared to other flash generators.
• MAX The extreme and fastest recycling speed. Only one Pro-8a can be connected to one
wall outlet or fuse group.
