COM 8.0 Warnings WARNINGS & FAULT FINDING If the unit appears to have developed a fault, first establish that it is a genuine internal fault and not a case of normal operation such as overheat. Carry out the following checks to eliminate any external causes. If no obvious problem can be found and replacement of the modelling lamp, flash tube or fuse does not effect a cure then it is likely that an internal fault has developed. Always return the unit to an authorised service centre if a fault is suspected after these checks. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT ANY REPAIR yourself. Flash/Misfire Warning Following a flash, the unit will temporarily display READY on the red numeric displays for 5 seconds. This serves as a convenient method of showing correct pack operation when two or more packs are running flashing together. If the unit receives a trigger signal from any of the valid sources (TEST, IR REMOTE, IR TRIGGER, SYNC) but fails to flash for any reason then the red numeric will display “headfail”. Press . to clear the message. Increase the power setting to maximum and use the TEST button to try and flash again. If the problem continues to happen on more than the odd occasion, particularly at lower power settings, then it is likely that the flash head tube is wearing out. Before replacing the tube, check that the trigger wire is correctly connected and is not shorted to or in close proximity to the metal reflector. If the unit fails to flash at all then check the flash tube for signs of damage or overheating. If the unit fails to flash and the display warning is not given then the Sync. lead and/or camera should be suspected. If possible check these with another flash system. Check the polarity of the Sync. from the camera and use an adapter to reverse it if necessary. The QuadX 3000 supplies a SYNC. voltage of +5V with respect to the chassis Ground. OVERHEAT Warning The unit is fitted with overheat protection that inhibits charging until the unit has cooled sufficiently. The display flashes the READY LED and displays a warning message on the LCD while the overheat condition exists. Overheat will normally only occur if the unit is flashed repeatedly at a fast repetition rate. Slowing down the repetition rate will normally help keep the unit out of overheat. Dimming the modelling lamp or turning it off may also help. NOTE: The controls are inhibited during overheat to prevent inadvertent changes being made. The overheat condition remains until the pack reaches a target lower temperature or is turned off and then on after the pack has cooled by a few degrees.
