Automatic Dump Flash
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
power on and wait until the FULL ON/OFF LED blinks. Next, release the FULL
ON/OFF button and the FULL ON/OFF LED will go off.
Turn FLASH DUMP off: Turn PowerLight AC power off. With unit power off, press
and hold the ADJUST button. While holding the ADJUST button, turn the unit power on
and wait until the ADJUST LED blinks. Next, release the ADJUST button and the
ADJUST LED will go off.
Also, each time the AC line power is disconnected or switched off, the flashtube will
flash. This removes most of the flash capacitor charge to prolong the life of the unit and
is a much safer condition for storage, transporting, and replacement of flash tube or
modeling lamp. This is a feature, over which the user has no control.
Unit Number Assignment
This feature allows the user to assign a UNIT NUMBER (1 to 9) to each DR type
PowerLight in the studio. The UNIT NUMBER is necessary when INFRARED remote
control is used (see accessories.) To assign a UNIT NUMBER: Turn PowerLight AC
power off. With unit power off, press and hold the 1/2 UP arrow button. While holding
the 1/2 UP arrow button, turn the unit power on. Digital display should be “un #”, where
# means some number 1 to 9. Next, release the 1/2 f-stop UP arrow button. Change the
UNIT number using the 1/10 UP/DOWN arrow buttons. Close the assignment feature
and save the UNIT number by pressing the 1/2 UP arrow button.
