3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Despite the measures that have been taken to make electronic flash equipment safe, it must be recognized that high voltages and high temperatures do exist within the power supply / lighting unit. Certain precautions must be observed in handling the unit.
4 The unit is shipped with the modeling lamp and flashtube not installed. While installing the modeling lamp and flashtube (with glove or clean cloth to protect the hand and tube) be sure they are properly inserted and tight to avoid arcing and failure of the socket contacts during operation.
5 DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL AND BASIC OPERATION: Power Input: The power required to operate the Solair Radio-Sync, Constant-Color PLR500DR or PLR1000DR is 105 to 125 volts AC, 60 Hz, 5 Amp. The power cord has a 125V, 15 Amp. rating. [The Voltage Smart Solair Radio-Sync, Constant-Color PLRX500DR or PLRX1000DR is rated 90 to 250 volts AC, 50/60 Hz, 3.
6 Functional Operation Solair ! Radio-Sync, Constant-Color PLR500DR & PLR1000DR Voltage Smart, # Radio-Sync, Constant-Color PLRX500DR & PLRX1000DR Power Switch: The power switch controls the AC power to both the modeling and flash circuits. You have the option to turn-off the modeling circuit independently.
7 The Solair Radio-Sync, Constant-Color PLR500DR & PLRX500DR models are fully charged when the READY lamp is on. Lowest power (3.9ws) charge time is a maximum of .5 seconds and at full power charge (500 ws) time is a maximum of 1.5 seconds. The unit may be flashed before fully charged.
8 After the trigger cord is properly connected, check the synchronization with a film camera. Adjust the lighting unit to same height as the camera lens and face the lights into the lens. The lens aperture should be open to its fullest extent and set on “X” or “zero” delay.
9 Photocell/Photo Slave: The sensor is built-in and can be shut off by plugging in the sync cord. Flash Power Bracketing: Bracketing refers to taking up to three (3) exposures in a sequence with different flash intensities, either additional watt seconds or fewer watt seconds, from the displayed or selected “primary” base intensity.
10 Color Temperature Consistent and Constant The problem: With the rare exception of units costing many thousands of dollars, flash lighting packs, up to now, do not control the color temperature of the light. The color temperature typically decreases by over 100 degrees Kelvin for every f-stop of power reduction.
11 power point is commonly used in engineering and serves the purpose of reporting the bandwidth of the flash duration, but the graph below clearly shows that a power point measurement does not truly report the total flash duration.
12 Reciprocity Explained -Excerpts taken from Kodak TECHNICAL PUBLICATION DATA I FILM E31- July 2002 The reciprocity law states that the intensity of light falling on a photographic film multiplied by the exposure time equals the total amount of exposure.
13 LONG-EXPOSURE EFFECTS Under low-light conditions, you may have to extend your exposure times to a point of significant speed loss. With black-and-white films, the effect of this speed loss is partially offset by wide exposure latitude. Most color films require more than the normally calculated exposure when the lighting is unusually low.
