Carry out the following checks to eliminate any external causes. If no obvious problem can be found and replacement of the modelling lamp, flash tube or fuses do not effect a cure then it is likely that an internal fault has developed. [. . . ] Remove the trigger wire first and then gently pull the tube from its sockets. Replacement is the reverse of removal but ensure that the tube is fully inserted into its socket. Carefully pass the trigger wire through the hole in the trigger tag and tightly wrap the excess around the tag and back up the wire ensuring that it is kept well away from the metal base. The wire may be trimmed back if there is too much excess. 4 13 Esprit Digital 750 Operating Instructions INTERMITTENT Option The preferred mode for the `INTERMITTENT' function can be selected from the `OPTIONS' sub-menu as follows: Option Description Intermittent off. Only available when the LAMP is switched ON (PROP, IND or 100%). The Modelling Lamp will extinguish while the unit recharges and light again when the unit reaches `READY'. If the unit fails to flash for any reason then the LAMP will not be extinguished. Available with the LAMP either ON or OFF. When the unit reaches `READY', after being flashed, the Modelling Lamp will intensify to full brightness and then dim before returning to the previous setting (or to OFF). The exact effect will depend on the current lamp setting. If the unit fails to flash for any reason then the LAMP will not follow this sequence. Esprit Digital 750 Operating Instructions MAIN CONTROLS & DISPLAY Refer to Fig. 1. For each `POWER' setting the displayed `FLASH' power is adjustable over a 5 f-stop range (6 f-stop points). This provides an overall control range of 6 +7/10 f-stops in 1/10 f-stop increments. `F' - FLASH Display Mode The FLASH mode is displayed by default and is indicated by an `F' before the flash value as follows: Display Range X. X Description Display Flash power value. Use `UP' or `DOWN' to adjust. It is recommended that this number, together with the Unit Code and Serial Number be noted at the earliest opportunity in the space provided here: Unit Code Serial Number Displayed Firmware Version e. g. 1. 2. 4 ____________ ____________ ____________ This information can assist us in helping you if problems are ever experienced or if servicing or repairs are required. AUTO BRACKETING Option The preferred value used for the `AUTO BRACKETING' function can be selected from the `OPTIONS' sub-menu as follows: Display Range Description Bracketing value in tenths. The default factory setting for this is br. 3. This is equivalent to 3/10 or 1/3 f-stop. DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS Option The preferred brightness of the display and LED's can be selected from the `OPTIONS' submenu as follows: Display Range X. X Description Display brightness value where 1 is minimum and 9 is the maximum. Default factory setting is di. 7. br. X 1 to 9 FX. X 5. 0 to 10 The FLASH power is adjustable over a 5 f-stop range (6 f-stops) in 1/10 f-stop increments using the UP and DOWN push buttons. The power is displayed in an easy to use decimal form where each whole number represents 1 f-stop. [. . . ] See `OPTIONS' for a description of how to access this mode. The default factory setting is `Fd. 0'. In this mode the unit resistively dumps excess energy whenever the flash setting is reduced. This is a relatively slow method and can take several seconds to reach the required value if the change is large. [. . . ]
