Operating instructions 1) Mains connection The unit is manufactured to run on 200-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Before connecting them for the first time, make sure that your mains supply and the rating set on the equipment (electrical specification plate) are compatible.
TECHNICAL DATA : This power pack Digital 3000 AS ( 3000Ws) offers three asymmetrical power head outlets. The power levels are indicated in Ws by bright LED display. These displays may be individually varied in 1/10th f-stop to any one of 57 settings on each lamphead (with three lampheads). The variation is continuous on 6.6 f-stops, (diaphram variation 22.7 to 180.3).
1. MAINS SUPPLY While the MAINS SWITCH (4) is switched off firmly push in the plug of the original ELINCHROM mains cord into the socket (1). 2. FUSE Standard type 5 x 20 mm, 16 AT (tempered). Before exchanging a blown fuse, switch off the unit and remove mains cable. Depress and turn the fuse holder anti-clockwise 1/8th and remove it. If the new fuse blows immediately upon reconnection return the pack to an ELINCHROM service centre for a check-up. (N.B. Check correct value of the fuse : 16 AT). N.B.
N.B. For even less load on the power supply line use lamps automatically extinguish when the generator when the charge cycle ends. and jointly. The modelling is charging but illuminate 5. INITIAL CHARGE If the generator has been recently used and the capacitors do not require «reforming», the generator will charge at the speed setting indicated, i.e. fast, normal or slow. If the generator has been recently used , to reform the capacitors it will charge slowly.
8. TOTAL POWER This display indicates the total power released through the lampheads. The variation is a single steps or if the touch is held it will run continuously. The first number indicates charges by full f-stop, the second number by 1/10 f-stop. When the total power is increased each individual lamphead increases proportionately. The ratio never changes and the power in any one lamphead is limited only by the total power in the generator.
11. SWITCHABLE PHOTOCELL (SLAVE) When switched ON indicator illuminated, the pack can be remotely triggered by another flash unit in your studio. In difficult situations e.g. daylight, blinding or obstacles, the additional cell (code 11080) with 5 m cord (extensions available) solves most problems. Alternatively use the FRC-SYNCRON (code 19316) cordless remote flash release. 12. SYNCHRONISATION SOCKET The Amphenol secure locking system with standard 5 m cable is retained. Longer cables may be used. N.B.
14. MODELLING LAMP CONTROLS The modelling lamp will only function when the lamphead is switched on (note : there is an overheating control switch ON/OFF in the lamphead). - Simple ON/OFF with ON setting indicated. Also incorporated is a slow start system to prolong lamp life - Half power lamp setting further extends lamp life - Adjusts the lamp to vary with the flash power. - DIM/BRIGHT CHARGE INDICATOR This setting underpowers the modelling lamps during charging.
USE OF IRS The indicator on the IRS will «blink» on the generator when its channel has not been selected. However, selecting its channel «O» will re-activate the units response system. The units function like and are therefore totally compatible with Micro AS power packs and 750 Micro. 2 13. LAMPHEADS Important : When plugging in a lamphead connector, first push in the front part, then firmly press in the whole plug, the rear part being secured by the locking spring.
16. PROTECTIVE PIREX DOME For use with standard halogen lamp GX 6.35 socket. Transparent, matt or yellow (400° K colour correction), can be fitted to all lampheads, except R heads (rectangular heads) for which clear or matt security filters are available.
