Page 4: Attention: Read Before Starting Up The Power Pack
For this reason units should be opened by trained personnel only. Do not block the cooling louvers on the unit. broncolor power packs and lamp bases meet an extremely high safety standard. When connecting broncolor products to other manufacturers' products, integrated safety measures may become ineffective. -

Page 7: Application Nano
Application Nano We are very pleased you have chosen the broncolor power pack Nano 2 respectively Nano A4 which are high-quality products in every respect. If used properly, they will render you many years of good service. This mains supplied (AC-line) studio flash unit is designed for professional photography. -
Page 8: Lamp Base Outlets
The flash capacitors of the Nano units are divided in two groups: 50% to 50% symmetrically for Nano 2 and in the ratio 70% to 30% for Nano A4. If the power packs are in use with only one lamp base, this type of design presents the advantage that up to a maximum of 50% (Nano 2) or 30% (Nano A4) of the selected total energy can be triggered over the lamp base outlet 2 (14.2) without needing to discharge the... - Page 9 "P" Proportional modelling light with an output level up to 1200 J (with Nano 2) respectively 2400 J (with Nano A4). This operating mode (highest proportionality level) is recommended, when exclusively Nano power packs with the same output level are in use in one working session.

Example 2: A power pack Nano A4 is operated together with a power pack Grafit A2. The modelling light is proportional and highest possible when both are set to level "prop2". Modelling light switch on lamp base The switch on the lamp base permits selective lighting control with the modelling light. -
Page 11: Ready Signals Visual / Audible
Flash ready signals visual / audible The visual ready signal is the green LED at the „test“ key (3). It lights up only when the unit is fully charged. After a flash this LED goes out and lights up again when the unit is fully charged again. -
Page 12: Basic Settings Ex Works
Set slow charge (slow) In case of weak mains (AC-line) power supply lines, charging time may be extended to approx. double the standard value. The slow charge mode is switched on or off by briefly pressing the "slow" key (6). If this function is activated, the green LED lights up as a reminder. -

Functions number Meaning and possible settings Sequence (flash sequences): - Settings ex works: "n0" This function permits to select a defined number of flashes between 1 and 8 (display „n1“ till „n8“). If this function is activated, i.e. a selected value between „n1“ and „n8“, the digital display (10) shows alternately the selected value of flash energy and flash sequence. -

11. Service / Repair Your broncolor power pack is a precision device which will work for many years without malfunctions if you take proper care of it. If malfunctions do arise, please do not attempt to open the unit to repair it yourself. Even when the unit is shut off, dangerous voltages may remain within the interior of the device. - Page 15 When inserting the flash tube check that the ceramic base is fully pushed back in. If the Pulso 8 lamp base is operated with Nano 2, respectively Nano A4, the corresponding power pack must not be operated below power output level 8. Falling below this level, may cause interruptions when triggering the flash and a risk of afterglow of the flash tube.
- Page 16 13.2 Changing the halogen lamp The halogen lamps are also plug-in or screw-in. Taking the lifespan into consideration, the halogen lamp should not be handled with bare hands. Exchange of the halogen lamp is practically identical to that of the flash tube. The Primo and Picolite lamp base can be run on the local mains (AC-line) voltage (100V–240 V) when a halogen lamp is used which corresponds to the voltage.
