Included basic features English
Additional advanced programmable features
The following basic features are easy to access and they are similar to previous Elinchrom compact
ashes.
All the new features and functions can be customised.
Please read carefully how to congure the new features.
The VFC mode switches off the modelling lamp whilst the ash unit recharges after a ash has
been released. This function gives a visual check that all the studio ash units have red.
The VFC mode can be activated together with the Ready Charge beep for maximum control.
Visual-Flash-Control (VFC) NEW
When using compact ashes of different powers, (e.g. 250 & 500 ws) the modelling lamp can be
reduced to -1 f-stop for better visual proportionality.
Proportional modelling lamp setup (PMS) NEW
Some cameras may release before the main-ash, several pre-ashes to avoid the red eye
effect. In this case a normal photocell would respond and release a ash with the rst pre-ash
of the camera. To avoid incorrect synchronisation the intelligent Elinchrom Eye-Cell detects
camera pre-ashes. The Eye-Cell function can be activated in “Automatic Mode” or in “Manual
Mode”, even congureing LED pre-ashes. (Only for advanced users, read carefully the instruc-
tions before changing any parameters).
“Eye-Cell” automatic & manual mode NEW
The user can customise the Charge Ready Beep from short to long Beep signals.
The acoustical signal length can be set from 70 to 490 m/seconds.
Charge ready beep setup NEW
To use the wireless triggering and changing ash power settings, or to switch on/off the model-
ling lamp, requires the optional EL-Skyport Transmitter.
“Group” and “ Channel Frequency” settings can be customised on each BX-Ri unit.
EL-Skyport wireless triggering & remote control NEW
Normally ash / modelling lamp power adjustments are in 1/10th steps per touch.
These steps can be changed from 1/10th to 7/10th or to 1 f-stop.
Power and modelling lamp steps setup NEW
The cooling fan switches ON automatically if the unit temperature increases. The microprocessor
controls the unit temperature and the fan. If the ventilation is blocked or the fan does not work,
the display shows E8.
Temperature controlled FAN management NEW
• Flash power up and down buttons
• Modelling lamp power up and down buttons
• Modelling lamp prop / free / off button
• Photocell on / off button
