Additional Information

Notes: Setting ʻFldʼ to ʻonʼ will automatically flash the unit to dump any excess energy if the user reduces
the power output setting and makes no further adjustments within 2 seconds.
The modelling lamp has a micro controlled soft ʻonʼ and ʻoffʼ to prolong the life of the bulb.
The ʻkey clickʼ & ʻwarning sounderʼ can be turned ʻonʼ or ʻoffʼ independently of the ʻreadyʼ sounder. This
option is available within the Advanced Functions.

Flashtube Replacement

Ensure that the unit is switched off and disconnect from
the mains supply and then wait thirty minutes before

With the Esprit Gemini Digital monolights you are free from mains power.
With the Pulsar Radio Trigger system you can be free from sync cables
too.
This multifunctional device can be used to trigger flash units, film and
digital cameras and light meters up to 100m away.
Because the Pulsar is a radio transmitter rather than IR, it allows for
triggering around corners or through walls and is not affected by high
ambient light situations. Choose from four individual channels and six
studio setting per channel, each providing a unique ID for different flash
devices or combine them to trigger all equipment within a given setup or
studio.
Because of its low-voltage operation, it is perfect for digital cameras. Each unit can be used as either a
transmitter or receiver and operates using only two AAA batteries.
