Fitting the Modelling Lamp

Switch off and disconnect from the supply. Screw modelling lamp into ES lampholder in the centre of the reflector. Allow lamp to cool before removing.

Note: It is recommended that a Photoflood or Halostar bulb with a maximum wattage of 275W is used.

Bowens will not accept liability on the use of any lamp with a greater wattage than 275W.

Fitting / Removing Reflectors

A wide range of reflectors are available for the Esprit range. To fit, slide the neck of the reflector over the front of the unit. Align the three pegs on the reflector with the three slots in the retaining ring. Press down and turn clockwise to lock.

To remove reflector, pull back Latch Release Key (page 4), turn the reflector fully anti-clockwise and withdraw.

If an umbrella is to be used a 'Wide Angle Reflector' should be fitted and the umbrella fitted through the mounting hole in the mounting bracket and locked in position with the knurled screw.

Note: Take care when fitting / removing reflectors not to damage the flashtube assembly. The flashtube is very delicate, avoid unnecessary handling of the glass tube. Always switch off and disconnect from the mains supply before fitting and changing reflectors.

Warning High Voltage!

Do not touch the flashtube assembly for thirty minutes after disconnecting from supply.

Fuse

The modelling and flash circuitry is protected by a single 20mm fuse mounted on the rear panel. Never replace the fuse with one of a different rating. As the fuse may blow when the modelling lamp fails always check the fuse when replacing the bulb. A spare fuse is supplied and located in the fuse holder at the back of the unit. Always switch OFF and disconnect the Esprit Gemini unit from the power supply before changing the bulb or fuse.

Synchronisation

There are several ways to trigger the Esprit Gemini Digital

Photocell:

The Esprit Gemini has a built in switchable photocell enabling the unit to be triggered by the flash from any other flash unit or a small camera mounted flash gun. The photocell is mounted behind the red transparent cover on the top of the unit. The Photocell has various trigger modes, see page 12 for full details.

6 www.bowens.co.uk

Synchronisation cont.

Sync Socket:

The standard quarter inch jack type socket on the rear panel of the unit may be used for direct connection to a camera set to 'x' synchronisation. Two Esprit units may be connected together using a

'y' connector. An Infra Red Receiver, Omnicell or Pulsar Radio Trigger systems may also be plugged into this socket. The socket operates at +5V and is safe for use on digital cameras.

Open Flash:

For testing or multiple flash applications the Open Flash Push button can be used.

Flash Power Control

The flash power output is variable over five f-stops from full to 1/32 power, in 1/10 stop increments.

The maximum power available depends upon the model (See specification table). The Flash Power output value which is shown on the side of the unit can be set to be displayed in either f-stops or Joules

(Ws). The Flash Power display setting can be changed via the ʻAdvanced Functionsʼ in the menu system.

The Flash Power display can also be ʻinvertedʼ so it is displayed upside down. This is a useful feature when using the unit from a ceiling mounted rail system when the unit will be upside down. This feature is available through the Advanced Functions menu.

Note: If the unit is subjected to rapid operation over extended periods, it may automatically go into an overheat condition. In this condition the charging and modelling functions are disabled in order to allow the unit to cool. The unit will automatically resume operation once cooled sufficiently.

Modelling Lamp Control

The modelling lamp control options are available within the ʻnormal functionsʼ through the digital display on the side of the unit. The modelling lamp options that are available are either OFF, USER (in

USER mode the modelling lamp output can be set from F5.0 to F10.0), PROPORTIONAL (modelling lamp automatically adjusts itself to be in proportion to the flash power output), or FULL (the modelling lamp is set to maximum power output).

Note: The modelling lamp can only be used when the unit is operating from mains power, when the unit is working from battery power the modelling lamp options are disabled.

Functions Overview

GEMINI Digital User Controls

The ʻFlash Powerʼ, ʻModelling Lampʼ and ʻOther Optionʼ settings are all available by using the ʻrotary controlʼ on the side of the unit in combination with the ʻMENUʼ and the ʻDONEʼ button; all of the options and settings can be seen via the 7-segment LED display above the buttons. All of the various options and settings are stored to the unitʼs memory.

Functions Overview

During normal use simply rotate the dial to adjust the power to the required level. The unit ready indication is by means of a ʻsteadyʼ display and a sounder beep (if on) as well as the modelling lamp indication function when the unit reaches ready (if switched on). While changing the power level the display flashes at different rates to indicate whether the unit is charging or if there is excess power that needs dumping. The display will flash ʻquicklyʼ while the unit is charging and flash ʻslowlyʼ to indicate that there is excess power that needs to be dumped. To test the flash and/or dump any excess power press the ʻTESTʼ button.

The unit can be triggered via the ʻsync socketʼ connected to the relevant system or via the ʻPhotocellʼ as required. Other displays may occur during operation to provide warnings of problems or to indicate the unit status.

To change any of the unitʼs settings first press the ʻMENUʼ button on the side of the unit; ʻSETʼ will be displayed briefly showing that the unit is entering the user setup options followed by ʻLPʼ (for ʻLamp settingsʼ) as the first item. Each press of the ʻMENUʼ button takes you down one level of the menu structure until you cannot go any further; at this point the sounder (if switched on) will provide a warning beep.

At any menu level turning the rotary control will either select another function/option or change the setting of the chosen function. Each press of the ʻDONEʼ button takes you up one level until you exit the user setup mode, at which point ʻEndʼ is displayed. Any altered user setting will be saved to the units memory. See below illustration for example of how to change the Modelling Lamp settings to off.

Modelling Lamp Ready Indicator

The modelling lamp can be used as an indicator of when the unit has flashed, and also when it has charged and is ready to fire again. All modelling lamp options are only available when the unit is operating from mains power. The available options for the modelling lamp ready indicator are:

Off (OFF) - No lamp ready indication; the modelling lamp remains on or off during operation depending on ʻLampʼ settings.

Intermittent (INT) - Modelling lamp goes off after unit has fired and comes back on when fully recharged. Intermittent indication is only available if the lamp setting is ʻonʼ.

Pulse (PUL) - Lamp pulses once fully recharged after firing. The pulse ready indicator option is available whether the ʻLampʼ settings are on or off.

Photocell

The Photocell is a light sensitive trigger which allows the photographer a way of triggering their stand alone flash heads that are not syncʼd by a cable. The photocell (when on) triggers the unit when another flash or light source is detected (i.e. when another flash head is fired and the photocell detects this it will fire the unit in synchronisation with the original light source).

The Photocell on the Gemini Digital has an option to enable camera pre-exposure flashes to be ignored. These are used for exposure measurement and/or red eye reduction. This allows the flash unit to be synchronised to the camera shutter on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th flash selected by the user. (this option is for those who wish to trigger theIr flash heads without a radio or IR triggering system or without a sync cable). 1st is the normal ʻinstantʼ trigger where only one flash is used coincident with the shutter.

Where two or more flashes are to be detected a ʻtime windowʼ is started on detection of the first flash in the sequence. If the required number of flashes are detected within the ʻtime windowʼ then the unit is triggered on the last flash and the system is reset to wait for the next flash. If fewer than the required flashes are detected then the system is reset at the end of the time window. The ʻtime windowʼ can be set by the user from 10mS to 990mS for 2, 3 or 4 flashes. For obvious reasons there is no actual time window for a single flash since the unit triggers as soon as the flash is detected. As well as being able to select the number of flashes manually, the unit can also ʻlearnʼ the number of required pre-exposure flashes produced by any camera. This is done by setting the number of flashes to 1st. This provides the maximum detection window of 990mS when in ʻlearnʼ mode.

While carrying out the following procedure ensure that no other flash is likely to be used in the vicinity until the settings have been saved. To allow the flash unit to learn the camera characteristics first set up the camera in the required mode (i.e. flash, pre-flash, red-eye reduction etc). Now press ʻMENUʼ on the flash head and rotate the dial to select the ʻPhoʼ function and press ʻMENUʼ again, the current ʻPhoʼ option will now be shown; set the unit to 1st flash.

Now press the shutter release fully with the camera facing the unit. The number of pre-flashes detected will be shown on the display. N.B. if more than 4 flashes are detected within the time window then the photocell will be turned off. Press the ʻMENUʼ button and the flash detection timeout period will now be shown (2,3 and 4 only). Rotate the dial to obtain the required value - typically the default of 300mS should be adequate for most cases.

12 www.bowens.co.uk

Photocell

Now press ʻMENUʼ again to go back to displaying ʻPhoʼ. Press ʻTESTʼ to save the settings. If the camera or camera settings are ever changed just repeat the procedure to check and/or set the flash unit again.

This system may require some experimentation by the user to get the correct flash in the sequence and the timeout sensitivity right for a give camera and flash situation.

E.G. The Canon EOS10D gives an exposure measuring pre-flash first, followed 75mS later by the main flash. This means that if the unit is set to trigger on the first flash then the unit will always trigger but the

Canon shutter will not open until 75mS later resulting in an incorrect exposure. If the unit is set to 2nd flash then the exposure will be correct. Setting it to 3rd or 4th means that the unit will never trigger and any exposure will again be incorrect.

Audible Ready Beep

There is an Audible Ready Beep signal which is available to provide either a short beep to indicate when the unit is charged and ready to fire at the desired power output or sound continuously when charging. The Audible Ready Beep options are available through the Normal Functions on the unit.

Information & Error Codes

.

The following normal displays and error codes are displayed together with a sound if appropriate and if

ʻSoundʼ & ʻAudioʼ are switched ʻonʼ.

Display Description

X-X or

Power display in either digital f-stops or Joules (Ws), in Lamp User setup mode this shows the equivalent power setting of the modelling lamp but always in digital f-stops. If this display is steady then this indicates the unit is READY and can be flashed. If this display is flashing quickly then this indicates that the unit is charging to the required setting. If this display is flashing slowly then this indicates the flash power needs to be dumped.(this can be done automatically by setting ʻFldʼ to

ʻonʼ or manually by pressing the ʻTESTʼ button).

Displayed after a successful flash whilst charging.

Unit is in overheat and will automatically reset when cooled.

Failure to charge correctly at ʻswitch-onʼ. Long sounder if on. This could be due to low mains input or leaky capacitors. After retrying and rechecking a number of times the unit will automatically lock out with the display showing ʻEr1ʼ but with the sounder silenced.

Failure to charge correctly after a flash (sound if on). The most likely cause here is that the tube glowed on. After retrying for a number of times and each time applying a longer glow stop period the unit will automatically lock out with the display showing ʻEr2ʼ but with the sounder silenced.

Failure of the tube to fire (sound if on).

Additional Information

Notes: Setting ʻFldʼ to ʻonʼ will automatically flash the unit to dump any excess energy if the user reduces the power output setting and makes no further adjustments within 2 seconds.

The modelling lamp has a micro controlled soft ʻonʼ and ʻoffʼ to prolong the life of the bulb.

The ʻkey clickʼ & ʻwarning sounderʼ can be turned ʻonʼ or ʻoffʼ independently of the ʻreadyʼ sounder. This option is available within the Advanced Functions.

Flashtube Replacement

Ensure that the unit is switched off and disconnect from the mains supply and then wait thirty minutes before touching/removing the flashtube.

Remove the protective cap and unwind the twisted wire from the flashtube support.

Gently pull the flashtube assembly out of the unit.

To replace the assembly, hold the flashtube as shown and taking care to support both legs gently but firmly push the flashtube into position. Next wind the trigger wire around the flashtube support. Always replace with the correct flashtube assembly.
