supplied complete with flash and halogen tu-
bes. For shipment, the latter are packed se-
parately. They have to be mounted
before using the equipment for the first time.
Before doing this, be sure to read
section 10.

Then connect the unit, plugging the flash
cable (39) into one of the sockets (17), (18)
or (19): First insert the front of the flash plug
into the socket, then the rear until the lock
(20) engages.
The flash plugs and sockets of the Magno-
lux Series are electronically protected
against overload. As a result, flash tubes of
lower rating may be used even with higher-
power Magnolux generators without risk of
damage.
Note:
The flash plugs of Magnolux flash units are
identical to those used by other manufac-
turers. It goes without saying that flash units
of other brands must never be connected
to sockets (17), (18) or (19). All flash units of
the Multiblitz Magnolite Series, however, can
be used without any problems.
Connecting the generator:
Set generator master switch (1) to ON.
Switch (25) controls the distribution of
power to flash sockets I and II; the switches
(21), (22) and (23) allow connected flash units
to
be
switched
section 3/Controlling output)
Depending on the position of these switches,
the displays (5) und (7) will light either sepa-
rately or jointly. As soon as the displays light,
the generator is ready to fire. The open-flash
button (8) serves to fire a test flash. The ou-
tput of channels I and II can be controlled
steplessly
over
f-stops with the aid of controls (4) and (6).
3. Controlling output
The type 1200 and 2400 Magnolux genera-
tors have two flash sockets each. The total
output of these generators is evenly distri-
buted over channels I and II. Since the

output of the two channels is continuously
variable, asymmetric lighting is possible with
the flash units connected. Maximum output
(1200 or 2400 Ws, respectively) is limited to
channel I.
The Magnolux 3600 generator has three
flash sockets.
Total output of this generator is distributed
asymmetrically: 2/3 for channel I with one
flash socket and 1/3 for channel II with two
flash sockets. Maximum output (3600 Ws) is
limited to channel I.
The displays (5) and (7) indicate the output
setting in digital form:
5.0 = full power, 1.0 = minimum output. Out-
put control is continuous; display increments
are 1/10 f-stop.
Settings are constant and reproducible to
within ±1%.
Switch (25) serves to distribute the energy of
the generator over channel I or channels I + II.
Switch (25) depressed, LED (26) lit:
Maximum output via channel I.
Switch (25) released, LED (26) NOT lit:
Magnolux 1200 and 2400:
Full output split 50/50% between channels I
and II.
Magnolux 3600:
Full output split 67% to 33% between chan-
nels I and II. If two flash units are connected
to channel II, each of them will receive 16.5%
of the energy.
Electronic control keeps variations of color
temperature (K) extremely low at all power
settings. For daily routine, color balance is
practically constant.
Switches (21), (22) and (23) serve to switch
the flash sockets ON and OFF. ON = LED (24)
lit. If there is no flash connected to the cor-
responding socket, the displays (5) and (7)
will not light.
The displays (5) and (7) will light only after
a flash unit has been connected, thus
signaling readiness.
