[Discharging of the FLASH unit’s charging capacitor]
The charging capacitor of the FLASH unit is charged up to the
maximum 300 V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the
battery is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the
charged voltage which is kept without discharging when the main
power of the unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the remaining
voltage must be discharged as described below.
Preparing the Short Jig
T o preparing the short jig, a small clip is attached to each end of a
resistor of 1 kΩ /1 W (1-215-869-11).
Wrap insulating tape fully around the leads of the resistor to prevent electrical shock.
1 kΩ/1 W
Wrap insulating tape.
Discharging the Capacitor
Short-circuit between the positive and the negative terminals of
charged capacitor with the short jig about 10 seconds.

2-2.DATA PROCESS
The calculation of the adjusting remote commander display data
(hexadecimal notation) are required for obtaining the adjustment
data of some adjustment items. In this case, after converting the
hexadecimal notation to decimal notation, calculate and convert
the result to hexadecimal notation, and use it as the adjustment
data. Table 5-2-2. indicates the hexadecimal notation- the decimal notation, calculation table.
Note : ( ) indicate the adjusting remote control unit display.
(Example) In the case that the adjusting remote control unit display are BD (bd).
As the upper digit of the hexadecimal notation is B (b), and the lower digit is D (d), the intersection “189” of
the1 and 2 in the above table is the decimal notation to be calculated.
