Remove packaging and ensure the unit is switched off.
Set-up a flash head, ensuring the protective cap is removed and the modelling lamp is switched
on.
Plug the head into socket A1.
Note: Locate the tapered part of the socket first, then press down on the cable and ensure the
socket ‘clicks’ into place properly as pictured.
1. Switch the pack on. The unit will show one red display. If -- is shown, press the socket A1
On/Off button to turn the socket on.
2. The pack will now change to a level proportional to the setting shown on the left most red
numeric display.
3. Use the channel A adjustment buttons to vary the power level from socket A1. Adjust the unit
to show 10 on the display. Use the open flash button to discharge the 3000Ws.
4. Switch the pack off. Plug the head into socket B2. This time the rightmost numeric display
will illuminate. Adjust the channel power up to its maximum, noting that it will stop at 8.4.
This is because the pack becomes asymmetric with any head switched on in channel B.
You are now ready to begin using the pack.

steps of 0.1s. Selection and adjustment is performed using the & keys to scroll and to

Advanced Options Setup Flash Mode Trigger Skip
The Trigger Skip function is solely for use with two or more packs and is designed to allow the
photographer to trigger packs alternately and therefore more rapidly. To do this, the pack must first be
assigned a pach ID number, which must be less than or equal to the number of packs in use. Next, the
number of packs must be set to equal the number of packs to be used. Each pack must be connected
to the same trigger source. As a trigger signal occurs the pack will begin counting the number of
triggers. If this is equal to the pack ID, then the pack will trigger.
e.g. Consider three packs set up with Pack ID 1, Pack ID 2 and Pack ID 3.
Having switched on the Trigger Skip function, the first trigger will cause pack 1 to fire, the second trigger
will cause pack 2 to fire, the third trigger will cause pack three to fire. The fourth trigger will cause pack
1 to fire and so on...
