Thermal Management - Bowens XMS Studio Flash User Manual

XMSR Radio Remote & Trigger
Clearing All Pairing Associations (Pr/CP): Pr=pair / CP clear pairs
The XMS can be cleared of associations with ALL XMSR remotes without needing
a remote. This can be useful if the XMS was originally 'paired' with a remote that is no
longer available. Note that ALL pairing will be lost.
1. On the XMS unit press the MENU button until the display shows 'Pr' to indicate
'Pairing' mode.
2. Use the Rotary Control to scroll through the pairing options until the display
alternates between 'Pr' and 'CP' (Clear-Pairing).
3. Press and hold the rotary control dial to clear ALL associations.
4. The display will show 'FP' for approximately 2 seconds indicating 'Finished
Pairing' before reverting to normal operation. If the sounder is enabled the
'Finished Pairing' indication will be accompanied by a long beep.
5. If successful and if ALL associations have been removed, the right most
decimal point of the display will flash at an interval of approximately two seconds.
6. The XMS should be turned off to complete clearing of all pairs.
Remote Channel (Ch)
This allows the radio remote channel to be selected to provide logical control separation
of units. Note that when the Radio is selected on any unit, the flash on ALL units using
the same channel will be triggered regardless of the Group setting.
Remote Group (Gr)
This allows the radio remote group to be selected, so that XMS units can be remotely
controlled either individually or as groups. Units set to the same group can be
simultaneously controlled. Note that the XMSR can write data to any unit on the same
Channel regardless of the Group.

Thermal Management

Temperature sensors within the unit provide thermostatic control of the fan.
Advanced circuitry prevents the fan from switching on and off too often.
If the unit is switched to standby while the fan is running it will continue to run for one
minute to bring the internal temperature down. It is advisable to wait until the fan stops
before removing the power from the unit.
Under extreme conditions of use the unit may indicate overheat (OH). This will cause
the charging to stop and the modelling light to be turned off (if it is on). Once the unit has
cooled it will automatically reset.
