ADVANCED POWERLIGHT FEATURES.
Models PL1250, PL1250DR, and PL2500DR
Automatic Dump Flash
This feature will automatically flash the unit when the FLASH setting is lowered;
otherwise, the internally stored power is discharged through a resistor, before the unit is
READY. Flash Dump is faster. This feature can be turned on or off, by the user.
Turn FLASH DUMP on: Turn PowerLight AC power off. With unit power off, press and
hold the FULL ON/OFF button. While holding the FULL ON/OFF button, turn the unit
power on and wait until the FULL ON/OFF LED blinks. Next, release the FULL
ON/OFF button and the FULL ON/OFF LED will go off.
Turn FLASH DUMP off: Turn PowerLight AC power off. With unit power off, press
and hold the MANUAL button. While holding the MANUAL button, turn the unit power
on and wait until the MANUAL LED blinks. Next, release the MANUAL button and the
MANUAL LED will go off.
Also, each time the AC line power is disconnected or switched off, the flashtube will
flash. This removes most of the flash capacitor charge to prolong the life of the unit and
is a much safer condition for storage, transporting, and replacement of flash tube or
modeling lamp. This is a feature, over which the user has no control.

UP/DOWN arrow buttons. Close the assignment feature and save the UNIT number by
