Page 2: Important Safety Instructions
Prior to replacing the halogen lamp or the flash tube, the lamp should cool down for 10 min.! • broncolor flash light systems should only be equipped with original broncolor flash tubes, original broncolor combustible and packing material, original broncolor accessories, and also original broncolor spare parts! •... - Page 3 • To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons utilise exclusively the accessory recommended by the manufacturer! • Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the information on the type plate of the unit! • The flash light equipment is designed for use in dry conditions and in an ambient temperature from 0°C to 35°C! The flash light equipment has to be protected from wetness, condensation, from dripping and splash water, humidity, dirt, sand, metal chips and exposure to dust!
- Page 4 Use original broncolor packing for the transport of the power pack! • Shipping instructions lamps: Use original broncolor packing for the transport of the lamps. Before shipping flash tubes, halogen lamp and protection glass pack them with our protective pack material (foam plastic and transport cap).

Scoro power packs A2 and A4 can also be operated on 120 V or 100 V. However, the following limitations apply for 100 V –120 V: - 800 J are available instead of 1600 J (Scoro A2). - 1600 J are available instead of 3200 J (Scoro A4). -

Ensure that the operating voltage of the modelling lamp corresponds to the Attention: local mains supply. Earthed mains (AC-line) Whenever possible, connect unit to current supply always using an earthed mains plug. Start up Use the mains (AC-line) switch (1) to power up the unit. During the charging process, the digital master power display (12) flashes, after which, it becomes continuous. - Page 8 LCD display menu system Directly after switching on the unit a start display appears for approximately 5 s with information about the unit and the owner. Afterwards the unit changes automatically to the normal operating mode. By default, the flash duration (t 01) is shown permanently. In addition, depending on whether the flash duration or the colour temperature have been altered, the display will adjust and the current value will be indicated.

“menu“ (22). 4. Energy control Scoro A2/A2S Use the "▼/▲“ keys (9.1/9.2/9.3) to control the flash energy (flash intensity) on each individual outlet (l, ll & lll) within a range of 9 f-stops. The entire energy, however, cannot exceed 1600 J. - Page 10 Individual energy distribution (asymmetry) & flash cut-off Scoro power packs incorporate an electronic flash cut-off system for all 3 channels. The units have three individual lamp outlets which can be controlled, with neutral colour (Enhanced Color Temperature Control) over the whole range, and with asymmetry up to 6 f-stop increments and independently of each other.

Furthermore, it is possible to operate the modelling light proportionally (section 6.1) and adapt it to the various maximum outputs of broncolor power packs. Pressing the "mod" key (15) (1 s. long) when the modelling lamp is on, will give direct access to the "full"... - Page 12 If a power pack is used with less power, it is known that the halogen modelling light is relatively weak and yellowish. To solve this problem, all broncolor power packs may be operated with higher modelling light proportionality. Attention: The Scoro software automatically indicates in the LCD selection text the possible proportionality levels, and warns of sudden altered power settings made by the user.

Page 13: Release
The following settings are possible: IR/-, -/RFS, IR/RFS. See LCD setting function “IR/ RFS channel“ (section 11.12). Scoro power packs may be triggered by broncolor infrared transmitters. If the power pack is triggered via infrared, the flash release follows with a minimal time delay of approximately 1/2000 s. -

"test" key (16) This key (16) allows manual release of the power pack as soon as 70 % of the set energy is available. Servor d Please note: when you are working in the studio with the remote control Servor d, unintentional and uncontrolled flash triggering by the Scoro power packs could occur. - Page 15 Computer connection with RFS (Radio Frequency System) All Scoro A power packs have a built in interface which allows remote control or flash triggering of the power pack via radio from RFS transmitter, as well as RFS transceiver from PC or Macintosh computer. Therefore all the Scoro power pack functions can be comfortably controlled from a digital workstation.

RFS unit addresses Unit addresses will be assigned to each power pack for individual control. (See section 11.15). Computer connection with cable Scoro units are equipped with a computer connection socket (3). This allows operation of the power pack from the computer via cable. Each channel can control up to 15 units. Hence, Scoro power packs can be remotely controlled by cable with the Bron studio 9. -

The maximum power indicated in the master power display (12) of the Scoro A2 and A2S can be reduced from 10 to 9.0 (see LCD function “Max.display”, section 11.22). Therefore, with the same set energy of a Scoro A4 or A4S or of another 3200 J flash unit, an identical value will be displayed. - Page 18 10.4 Reset key (19) - Brief pressure on the reset key advances the cursor directly to the main page. When pressing the menu key (22) the cursor returns to the beginning of the main menu. - Pressing this key for approximately 2 s reinitializes the (visual) additional functions which are listed in the display.
