Speed-O-Tron Manual 2403CX PAGE 3: “Never connect or disconnect a light unit while the power supply is turned on. Never insert or remove flash tubes while the light unit is connected to the power supply. Be sure flash tubes are fully seated into light unit sockets. (Read instructions in the Light Units section of this manual for more information on light unit assembly and operation.) Missing Line Space Inserted PAGE 3: Once the light units are properly assembled and installed, the power cord is installed and the sync extension is connected, turn the Power switch on. Do not immediately fire the unit on the first use or when the unit has been idle for periods over 3 weeks. Allow several minutes for the power supply’s capacitors to form. Once this procedure has been followed at these times, subsequent use of the power supply requires no waiting period.“ PAGE 7: “Do not immediately fire the unit on the first use or when the unit has been idle for periods over 3 weeks. Allow several minutes for the power supply’s capacitors to form. Push to Flash button may be depressed to verify proper system operation. When Power is on, be sure Ready indicator is illuminated before switching Power or Fast/Slow. Do not move these switches while the unit is recycling. When disassembling the system, turn Power switch to the off position. The 2403CX LV power supply will automatically discharge its storage capacitors. Do not push the Push to Flash switch before turning power supply off. This may damage power supply. Power supplies may flash their light units when turned off. This is normal. Unplug power cord from outlet, then disconnect light units from power supply.” Repeat: Do not push the Push to Flash switch before turning power supply off. NEVER shut the pack off until it has fully recharged. Do NOT let the packs sit without use for more than three weeks because you run the risk of draining the capacitors and the pack may not start up again. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way!
i wish there was an auto power release when you power it down I guess we have to focus on muscle memory
Great video
