Instruction manual PRIOLITE M-PACK 500 / M-PACK 1000 (HS) + PRIO HEAD 1000
Connection to the charger
The charging of the battery can be done inside the power pack (switched on or off) or
outside. The charging cable of the supplied charger (16V or 58V, rsp.) is plugged into the
charging socket of the battery drawer and the provided power cable is connected to the
mains outlet. The charging unit is intended for global supply voltages (multi-voltage:
230V/115V). The charging time of a flat battery to full charge is approximately 3 hours. Full
charge is indicated by the lighting up of all 5 LEDs.
The batteries for M-PACK 500 and M-PACK 1000 (HS) are of different size and weight; in
addition, chargers for M-PACK 500 and M-PACK 1000 (HS) are fitted with a 2-pole and 6-
pole charging plug, respectively. They are also provided with a special coding to prevent
damage in case of confusion.
Functions on the operating
Control knob
The control knob is used to set the desired flash power in 1/10 increments from a minimum
of 16V to a maximum of 500J (M-PACK 500) or 1000J (M-PACK 1000 (HS)) covering 6 f-
stops for M-PACK 500 and 7 f-stops for M-PACK 1000 (HS). The output is displayed on the
two-digit 7-segment display in f-stops: 10 stands for maximum power and 5.0 (M-PACK
500) and 4.0 (M-PACK 1000 (HS)) stand for minimum power, respectively. Increasing or
decreasing the f-stop by 1.0 point doubles or halves the flash output, rsp.
PILOT function box (modeling lamp)
The modeling lamp is switched on or off using the "PILOT" buttons.
The PRIO HEAD 1000 designed for the use with the M-PACKs is equipped with a LED
array as energy-saving modeling light.
