Operating Instructions Before connecting the digital RX for the first time, make sure that your mains supply and the rating set on the equipment (electrical specification plate) are compatible to 110V or 230V. • • • • • • • • Connect lampheads ensuring that lamphead touches (18-19) are Off. Connect the mains cord in the inlet socket (1) Select charging rate (11) (" " slow position), only when the mains supply is too limited.
Slow Charge (11) The green LED indicates that the slow charge function is selected. This position is recommended if the mains line capacity is limited for the standard fastcharge mode. Open Flash (5) When the green LED is illuminated the flash may be released manually. The release is blocked during charging, but not when the unit discharges. The integrated discharge system is protected by a thermic cut out.
Relation of power range between the outlets Guide aperture is based on the " Digital S or Digital SE " lamphead and the 50° reflector, distance 1 m/3.3 ft and film ISO 100/21 DIN.

For 230 V code 23022. Protective Pyrex Dome For use with standard halogen lamp GX 6.
Symmetrical power distribution The Digital RX power packs deliver symmetrical power distribution when the same type of flashhead is used for both power pack outlets. For example 2x Digital S or 2x A 3000 N head. Asymmetrical power distribution It is possible to set asymmetrical power distribution by using two different heads like 1x Digital S and 1x A3000N head. Instead of a 50% - 50% split, this head combination splits into 75% for the A-head and 25% for the S-head.
Flashhead Types • Digital S => Ultimate stability for digital and multishot imaging. The heavy duty electrodes resist heat stress. • Digital SE => Suitable for universal use and standard multishot imaging. The flash tube can be used up to 3000 ws • Digital SEE => This head covers all universal studio us and comes with a long life Swiss Made flash tube up to 2400 ws. • A 3000 N Speed => Unique super short flash duration with a single, twin electrode flash tube to ensure even light distribution.
Wireless Remote Control and Flash Triggering The charge socket is as well the interface for the EL-Skyport Trigger and Remote System. With the EL-Skyport RX Trigger Set 19362, the Digital RX can be triggered wireless, up to approximatly 100 m distance. Apart from triggering, the Transmitter offers modelling lamp on/off settings and flash power control in 1/10th steps.
