Page 9: Lamp 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, 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 outlet 2 (14.2) without needing to discharge the superfluous... - Page 10 The following operating modes are possible: "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 1: A power pack Nano 2 is operated together with a power pack Topas A8 Evolution. The modelling light is proportional when both are set to level "prop1". Example 2: A power pack Nano A4 is operated together with a power pack Grafit A2. -
Page 12: Flash 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 13: 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. -
Page 14: Protective Facilities / Fault Indication
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. -
Page 15: Service / Repair
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 16 When inserting the flash tube check that the ceramic base is fully pushed back in. If the Pulso 8 lamp 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 17 12.6 Reflectors Pulso and Unilite lamps have a bayonet fitting to attach reflectors. The Picolite small lamp has a built-in reflector. 12.7 Fuses Only sand-filled fuses of the type indicated on the type plate may be used; otherwise the halogen lamp may burst.
