User Manual

As with any flash unit, the useful life of the flashtube and the unit as a whole depends
on the way it is used. Avoiding excessive heat is the key to long life.
The fast recycling feature of the ANG Series allows a rapid sequence of high-
power flashes. However, this feature should be used sparingly, since continuous
rapid flashing can cause overheating and subsequent damage to the flashtube and
possibly the internal electronics.
Rapid sequences of flashes should always be followed by a reasonable cooling
period, 10 to 20 minutes without flashing, or at a substantially reduced rate.
Dimming or turning the modeling lamp o will reduce heat generation.
Avoid rapid high-power flashing when using restrictive reflectors such as snoots or
grid re-flectors, particularly if the unit is pointing downward.
Do not flash over 12 shots per minute for more than 10 minutes.
Do not flash over 8 shots per minute for more than 30 minutes.
Take special care when shooting in a high-temperature environment.
