User Manual

Before using
1.Be sure to use the lighting only after understanding manual.
2.Check the power input voltage
3. Do not move it nor give impact while the power is on
(Lamp filament can become disconnected)
4.Be sure to use the grounded socket as a power.
5.When using accessories like reflector or snoot,install or separate it after turning off halogen
lamp and cooling the heat enough.
6.There could be risk of fie if you use softbox made from combustible material, so use softbox
has over certain grade or is made out of incombustible material like glass fiber.
7.Be careful against electric shock when using in a damp place.
8.Keep out of children’s reach.
Warning
•The lamp must be changed if it has become damaged or thermally deformed.
• Shields, lenses, or screens must be changed if they have become visibly damaged

1.When released from the factory, halogen control volume is in off position.
2.Fit the modeling lamp into the lighting.
3.After checking if modeling lamp control volume(MODEL) of control panel and output
control volume are at minimum position and if power switch is OFF,connect the power
cord to input socket.
4.Connect synchro cord to synchro socket.
5.Turn on the power button and power indicator lamp should come on
6.Control the brightness of modeling lamp with modeling lamp control volume.
7.Control the power with power control volume.
8.If you want to tune this with other lighting, turn on the slave button.
9.If you change the power from high to low, ready lamp might flicker. If so, discharge by
pressing ready button before using.
10.Sound lamp turns on when you press the sound button. Sound is generated according
to the change of power. If power is changed to lower power, it will start beeping. If you
press the ready button at this time, the sound stops.
Way of checking whether flash is charged when not using sound function.

Directions for replacing parts
8
1. Replacing the modeling lamp (BASE: GX-6.35)
- After cooling the lamp enough, maneuver it left and right to separate it from the socket.
- Maneuver the new lamp left and right to install it onto the socket.
- Be careful not to let any finger print or dust stain the lamp, and clean the lamp with
soft cloth or tissue lightly dampened with alcohol after replacing the lamp.
2. Replacing the fuse
- Separate the power cord from the AC socket
- Eject the fuse holder using a straight (-) screwdriver
- Remove the existing fuse and install the spare fuse, which is also inside the fuse
holder.
- Be sure not to let dust stain the discharge tube and modeling lamp with replacing
the fuse.
- If dust or other materials get stuck to the discharge tube or lamp, it can shorten
the life of the lamp and deteriorate the color temperature, thus clean any impurities
with a soft cloth.
※ Reference :
When input voltage is lower than rated voltage, there can be cases where it’s not
charged fully for maximum output. So in this case, check the input voltage.

Status Expected cause Point of checking and action
Slave is
impossible.
Slave button is turned OFF. Check if slave button is turned ON.
Slave sensor is out of the light
of flash.
After turning the lighting by 180° so as
for turning sensor to be shown, and than
operate it again.
Too strong light is on slave sensor. Block direct ray of light or bright light
from slave sensor.
Synchro Cord
doesn’t
become
tuned.
Due to dust or other material on
synchro jack, it causes contact’s
defective.
After checking synchro jack, remove
other material.
Synchro cord has defective contacts
and is disconnected.
Replace synchro cord.
(Check if it can radiate by pressing
ready button.)
There’s no
