IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

In accordance with UL122 specifications for photographic equipment.

When using your photographic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Care must be taken as burns could occur from touching the flashtube or modeling

lamp.

3. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped

or damaged, until it has been examined by a qualified service technician.

4. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a suitable rating should be used. Cords

rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat. Care should be taken to

arrange the cord so it will not be tripped over or pulled.

5. When practical, unplug the appliance from the electric outlet when not in use. Never

yank the cord to pull it from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

6. To avoid electrical shock hazard, do not disassemble this appliance, but take it to a

qualified service technician when service or repair work is required. Incorrect

reassembly could cause an electric shock hazard when the appliance is subsequently

used.

7. CAUTION – Designed for indoor use only. Do not operate outside in the rain or in

inclement weather or in the presence of standing water.

8. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause

a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

9. Always connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.

10. Disconnect the unit from its source of supply before replacing the flashtube or

modeling lamp.

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in residential area is likely

to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference

at their own expense.

UNPACKING

Carefully unpack and remove all parts from the shipping carton(s). Do not discard or destroy

any packing materials until all parts of the equipment have been inspected, assembled, and

working properly.

Inspect all parts for damage due to shipping. If any damage is found, contact the delivery

carrier immediately. Claims should be made to the delivery carrier before destroying shipping

carton(s).

Flash Rate

This unit is designed to quickly recharge to full power in about 2.6 seconds. However,

continuous rapid flashing of the unit, without resting, may overheat and damage the

lampheads and internal components. At maximum power, the recommended continuous cycle

rate is 12 seconds between flashes. In addition, up to 4 minutes of rapid firing at a 4 second

flash rate is possible. By lowering the power and/or increasing the time between flashes you

can extend the duration of rapid flashing. Alternatively, the cycle rate may be increased by

lowering the power and/or decreasing the duration of rapid flashing.

CONTROL PANEL / OUTLETS / BASIC OPERATION

1. AC Power Inlet

Connects to the AC power cable. The AC input is 115 volts, 60 Hz. The unit is voltage

stabilized to provide 1/20-stop full power repeatability with AC line voltage fluctuations of 20

volts (105-125 volts).

2. Power Switch

Switches the AC power on/off. A memory circuit retains the output settings when the unit is

switched back on or when the AC power is interrupted.

3. Modeling Lamp

Depress the pushbutton switch to toggle between the three modeling lamp modes:

FULL - The modeling lamp is at full brightness regardless of the flash power setting.

RATIO - The modeling lamp will automatically ratio (track) with the flash power

setting.

OFF - The modeling lamp is off (indicated by both the Full and Ratio LED’s off).

TRIM- The Modeling lamps can be trimmed without losing ratio if they are too bright

or too dim in their default setting.

4. TEST Button/Ready Light

The unit can be flashed by depressing the TEST button. When changing power levels, power

can be discharged through the flashtube instantly with this button instead of waiting for the

power to be bled through the discharge resistor of the internal circuitry. The switch

illuminates when the Power Supply has recharged to full power.

5. SYNC Outlets

The camera connects to this outlet via the R4158 Sync Extension Cord (included).

Note: Proper polarity is important with cameras that utilize grounded shutter switch circuits

(cameras that utilize PC cords). If the unit does not flash on initial set-up the polarity may be

reversed. To achieve the correct polarity – Reverse the camera sync cord at the point where it

joins the Sync Extension Cord. This establishes a common ground between the camera body

and the flash unit. If the polarity is incorrect the unit could self-flash or flash intermittently.

6. Photo Eye (Slave)

Permits remote triggering from other flash units. The Photo Eye can be enabled/ disabled by

pushing the photo eye button. (When the button is illuminated the photo-eye is enabled).

7. RESET 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Automatically protects the flash circuit against excessive overloads. When activated, it will

pop out about ¼” and the unit will become inoperative. To reset, wait at least 30 seconds and

depress the RESET button. If the circuit breaker continues to activate, consult the factory or

your authorized Norman service center.

8. Power Trim Knob

Adjusts the flash output from full to –5 f-stops in 1/10 increment settings. In combine mode

either power trim knob will change the output level of the entire pack.

9. Flash Verification

Visual- Flash verification will visually indicate when the unit has flashed. The

modeling lamp will cycle on and off, then return to its previous state.

Audible- The unit will beep twice when the unit has flashed and returned to full

power.

This function can be enabled / disabled by toggling the Flash Verification audible / visual

pushbutton switch.

10. Combine- When the pack is in combine mode; all of the power in the power pack is

distributed evenly to all lampheads that are enabled.

11. Lamphead Enable- Enables a Lamphead to be turned off without unplugging the

Lamphead. When “on” the Lamphead enable button illuminates and the lamphead display

shows the output level the lamp is set for. Upon a misfire, the Lamphead enable button will

blink on the head or heads that misfired. If enabled and there is no Lamphead plugged in, a

misfire will be recorded upon each flash.

12. Cooling fan- The D12 and D24 utilizes a cooling fan to remove excess heat from the

unit. Care should be taken to prevent blocking the vents on the sides of the unit. (Not shown

located on side panel of unit).

13. Slow Recharge- When enabled, the units recycle time is increased. This feature is useful

when operating at a location that has sub-par wiring.

14. Led Displays- Indicate the exact power setting, in watt-seconds, for each lamphead. The

displays also show error codes.

15. Computer Control Modular Jack- Used to hook up power pack to a computer via serial

port; contact factory sales about use and computer software.

16. Optional Pocket Wizard antenna-

For Norman D12R and D24R

Digital Power Supplys Supplied with

the PocketWizard™ Receiver

The D12R and D24R Incorporate

a built-in PocketWizard™ receiver which is internally wired for simple operation.

No Batteries are required.

Operation

The PocketWizard™ enabled D12R and D24R “listens” for wireless data transmissions from a

PocketWizard™ transmitter upon power up for the first 30 seconds of operation. The D12R

and D24R automatically scans continuously through the channels and if it detects continuous

valid trigger signals for 4 seconds on a particular channel it will set itself to operate on that

channel. To do this, press and hold the “test” button on your transmitter. If no valid trigger

data is found within the first 30 seconds from power up, the unit will set itself to operate on

the last channel used prior to the previous power down.

When you apply power to the D12R or D24R, the radio receiver will not respond for the first

30 seconds, unless you “teach” it a new channel (by pressing and holding the “test” button on

your transmitter). After learning, the unit will flash to indicate it is ready on the new channel.
