Fig. 4: Switching on the flashgun
2.3.3 Operation with the mains unit
The mecablitz can be powered directly from a wall outlet in conjunction with the mains units
N 22 or N 23 (optional accessories). The connection for the above mains units is located in the
side of the handle-mount grip.
During operation with the mains unit the flashgun must be switched off with the
main switch.
To avoid thermal overloading, flash series involving more than 30 flashes at maximum
light output must be based on the following recycling times:
- In continuous mode: 30 seconds after each full-power flash.
- In intermittent mode: A maximum of 10 flashes with shortest recycling time,
followed by a pause of at least 4 minutes.
2.4 Switching the flashgun on and off
The flashgun is switched on with the main switch (fig. 4). The flashgun is permanently
switched on when the switch is pushed to the top position, and the operating light shines. Push
the main switch to the bottom position to switch off the flashgun.
