User manual BOWENS TURBOPAK

[. . . ] (this may cause a circuit breaker to trip or a fuse to blow to protect the user). · The Battery Cassette is protected by two 40A automotive blade type fuses for the main power and one 5A fuse for the charger. NEVER change the fuses for a different type or rating. In the event that one or more fuses have blown it is likely that a genuine fault has occurred and the unit and/or Battery Cassette will need repair by an authorised Service Centre. DO: · Read Instructions before use. [. . . ] If one or more monolights are fitted and switched on then after about 2 seconds the charge indicators will light to indicate a monolight is charging. Charge Socket · Use only Bowens approved charger's or permanent damage to your unit may result. The top panel charge socket allows the supplied 2A charger to charge the Battery Cassette when fitted in the unit. · 6 www. bowens. co. uk www. bowens. co. uk 7 Controlling the TurboPak The Battery Cassette can also be charged at the same time as the unit is being used and this will effectively extend the number of flashes available. A discharged battery will take approximately 5-6 hours to fully charge. For best results and maximum life from a Battery Cassette always keep it fully charged and avoid fully discharging it. Always charge the Battery Cassette as soon as possible after use and never leave it flat. For maximum duty and flexibility spare Battery Cassettes and charger's are available to allow swapping out and charging outside of the TurboPak. Head Socket Each socket can power one Esprit Gemini / Travelite III monolight. When a head socket is not used it should be fitted with a dummy plug. The unit will not operate unless ALL sockets are fitted with either a dummy plug or a Gemini cable with a unit attached, whether switched on or not. Battery Level Indicator The TurboPak should not be allowed to fully discharge the Battery Cassette as this may significantly reduce the future capacity and operating life of the Battery Cassette. It is not recommended to keep using the TurboPak when the red battery low indicator is showing although it will keep going until the flat battery condition is reached, when it will automatically switch off. Always recharge the Battery Cassette as soon as possible after discharge. If FAST mode is selected then this will be overridden once the battery indicator drops to the amber level to prevent excessive drain from the near flat battery. Spare Battery Cassettes and charger's are available so that discharged Modules can be quickly replaced with a fully charged one to allow shooting to continue. Charge Indicators A charge indicator is fitted adjacent to each socket. In normal use these light to indicate that charge is being supplied to the associated socket. Under fault conditions the indicators are also used in combination to indicate the pack status or faults. See the section on Status & Fault Indication. During normal use the TurboPak checks each socket to see if a monolight is fitted and switched on. If one is fitted, it then checks to see if it requires a top-charge (i. e. the unit is READY) or requires a full charge (i. e. the monolight has just been switched on or has been flashed). A brief flash of the appropriate indicator shows a top-charge while an indicator remaining lit indicates full charge. [. . . ] Do not dispose of the battery in normal household waste. Do not dispose f the battery in a fire.
