The Vagabond TM II System ARRIVES WITH:
> The PSI900GF Power Inverter:
The PSI900GF is a power inverter made exclusively for the Paul C. Buff, Inc.
converts the power from the internal battery (12 Volt DC power) to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz current-controlled, pure
sine wave power source, specifically engineered for powering Paul C. Buff, Inc.
is similar to the power that you would get from a standard power line when shooting in the studio with your flash
units / power packs connected to an AC power outlet.
> The B20A Battery:
The Vagabond II includes a 20Ah, 12 Volt SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) internal battery. The new, larger battery
TM
offers longer life with added protections to eliminate charging idiosyncrasies. With the new plug-and-play
design, the battery can be easily replaced by the user when needed (please contact our customer service team
for replacement batteries).
> The Built-In Global Battery Charger with Charging Cord:
The built-in global battery charger is used to recharge the internal battery. The provided battery charging cord
connects to the Vagabond II control panel and is then connected to the AC power source for charging. The
TM
battery may be charged globally on 100 – 260 VAC power lines (please contact our customer service team for
replacement cords).
> Auxiliary Battery Cables:
Auxiliary battery cables are provided, allowing you to use an alternate battery (such as your car's battery) when
needed. The two cables (one red, one black) are fitted with alligator clips for connection (please contact our
customer service team for replacement cables).
> The VBAGII Carrying Bag:
The heavy-duty nylon carrying bag, holding all of the VII internal components, makes the system ideal for travel
with its long, cushioned shoulder strap (extending 28 to 48 inches).
The Vagabond II GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER:
TM
The Vagabond II system includes a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). A GFCI is an electrical device
TM
that monitors the electricity flowing in a circuit to detect ground faults. This built-in GFCI allows for safe
operation of the system without the physical ground requirement.
If a ground fault occurs in the wiring or to any equipment that is attached to the PSI900GF inverter, the inverter
will shut down, thus protecting the user from any shock hazard. Any ground fault condition shuts the inverter off
and you must turn the system off, then back on again to make it function again after the ground fault condition
is corrected.
• When any ground fault condition is detected, the inverter will automatically shut down.
• Switch the Power / Speed Setting to the center OFF position.
The inverter is already turned OFF, but the switch must be placed in the OFF position.
• Switch the Power / Speed Setting to either the FAST or SLOW mode to turn the system back on.
CHARGING the Vagabond
OFF by placing the SLOW / OFF / FAST switch in the center OFF position.
1. Turn the system
2. Take the provided battery charging cord and plug it into the charging socket (labeled "100-260VAC
CHARGER IN") on the PSI900GF inverter.
3. Plug the battery charging cord into a
charged globally on 100 – 260 VAC power lines. When traveling to countries with different wall outlet
configurations, standard outlet adapter plugs may be used for outlet compatibility.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that you connect the Vagabond
how short). Failure to connect the charger will result in loss of battery efficiency. With proper care, this type of
battery can be charged several hundred times before replacement.
