Safety Notes

 Do not use your ash in an environment where moisture or ammable vapour is

likely to come in contact with the unit.

 A re hazard exists if ammable materials are placed in close proximity to either

the ash tube or the modelling lamp when the unit is in use.

 Do not restrict air vents while in use.

 Always switch o and disconnect from the main power before changing fuse, mo-

delling lamp or ash tube.

 Avoid placing cables where they can be tripped over. Protect from heavy, sharp ob-

ject or hot object, which may cause damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.

 Never use a unit with damaged covers, mouldings, ash tubes or modeling lamp.

If the unit is dropped or damaged in any way always have it checked out before using.

 Use a blower brush or clean facial tissue to remove dust and moisture from the

modelling lamp and the ash tube. Do not apply any uids to the modelling lamp

and the ash tube.

 Turn the power o and unplug the power cord if the ash is not going to be used

for a while.

 Do not ash over 8 times in a minute at full.

 We recommend charging the ash unit for 2 hours prior to initial use and after an

extended period of inactivity (2 to 3 weeks).

 Due to the high voltage circuitry inside the unit, do not attempt to disassemble

the ash yourself.

 Keep out of reach of children.

Preparing Your Flash for Use

1. Select a stand or support system of suitable weight and dimensions to ensure

stable operation of the unit.

2. Install Reector / Protective Cap and Modeling Lamp

- To remove plastic protective cap o, push the latch knob back towards the rear of

the unit and rotate the plastic protective cap anti clockwise.

- Install the modeling lamp by inserting it into the socket.

- Install the reector where the protective cap was before. Align the three pegs on

the reector with the three slots, press the reector in and rotate clockwise until it

locks in place.

- To remove, push the latch knob back towards the rear of the unit and rotate the

reector anti-clockwise.

 Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands. Oil residue from your ngers can

cause the surface of the lamp to heat unevenly and explode. Use white cotton gloves

or a clean cloth.

 Take care not to damage the ash tube assembly when tting or removing reec-

tors or soft boxes. The ash tube is very delicate; avoid unnecessary handling of the

ash tube.

 Always switch o and disconnect from the main supply before tting and chan-

ging reectors, inserting the modeling lamp or replacing the ash tube.

 Standard conguration of softbox for Starblitz® SHARK studio ash is SB-030

50*70cm. We do not recommend to install SB-030 square softbox bigger than

60*90cm or SB-038 octagon softbox bigger than diameter 80 cm, or beauty dish

bigger than diameter 460mm.

Power Supply Connection

 Use only the mains leads supplied to connect to the main power.

 Before plugging the power cord into the wall socket, make certain that the power

switch is set to the OFF (“0” position).

shaft of the umbrella.

When the standard reector is used, t the umbrella in the hole of the reector.

Operating the Modelling Lamp

To turn the modelling lamp ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ press the touch button

(Fig.1).

Triggering the Flash

1.TEST Button

The simplest way to trigger the ash is to press the TEST button

(Fig.1)

This is useful when you need to discharge the power built up in the ash unit, for

example just before replacing the ash tube (more on that later).

2. Sync Connection

The sync jack

(Fig.1) on the ash may be used for direct connection to a camera set

to «X» synchronization. A radio slave receiver may also be plugged into the socket.

3. Photocell

The photocell

(Fig.1) is located behind the red transparent cover on the top and

at the back of the unit. It enables the unit to be triggered from another ash unit, IR

remote trigger or small on-camera ash. Switch the photocell ON or OFF using the

switch

(Fig.1) on the control panel. The photocell is ON when the Green LED Num-

ber 1 is lit. To disable press switch

(Fig.1) again until LED is o.

The numbers of preashes is variable from 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times,

6 times, and 7 times. Press slave button

(Fig.1) 4 seconds to enter into preashes

setup menu “Cx ”.

Press

UP or DOWN

button to adjust

preashes from 1 to 7

Press 4s

“C0” is automatic recognition mode. Use camera ash and release a test exposure.

The photocell detects the number of ashes the camera released and memorizes the

value automatically.

If you have selected «C1», the unit will autoash immediately when another ash is

activated in the same area.

If you have selected «C2» the unit will autoash on the second ash detected by the

photocell.

If you have selected «C3», the unit will autoash on the third ash detected by the

photocell.

If you have selected «C4», the unit will autoash on the fourth ash detected by the

photocell.

If you have selected «C5», the unit will autoash on the fth ash detected by the

photocell.

If you have selected «C6», the unit will autoash on the sixth ash detected by the

photocell.

If you have selected «C7», the unit will autoash on the seventh ash detected by

the photocell.

 The photocell is very sensitive but some experimentation with positioning may

be necessary to ensure a reliable trigger, particularly if the cell is not in the direct line

of sight of the triggering ash unit. Avoid directly illuminating the photocell from

a continuous light source (such as ceiling lights or windows) since this can prevent

correct operation. Very high ceilings can also aect the operation of the photocell.

4. 2.4G Built-in Radio Receiver

When studio ash is at menu “Cx”, press slave button

(Fig.1) once to enter into

radio channel setup menu “Fx”.

Press once

There are totally 16 dierent channels for your choice from F0 to FF.

Press

UP or DOWN

button to select proper

Starblitz® SHARK studio ash has built-in 2.4G radio receiver, which is compatible

with EX-816TC radio transmitter or EX-801C remote controller. (The studio ash itself

doesn’t include EX-816TC radio transmitter or EX-801C remote controller, customers

may purchase it separately.) Only when studio ash and EX-816TC radio transmitter/

EX-801C remote controller are at the same frequency, the studio ash can be trigge-

red. The following picture shows how to match frequency between radio transmitter

and receiver correctly.

Radio Receiver and transmitter channel Setup

On the radio transmitter, the code from left to right is 1,2,3,4.

When you push the button to “ON”, every code represents a value, channel 1 repre-

sents digit 1, channel 2 represents digit 2, channel 3 represents digit 4, channel 4

represents digit 8. When you push the button to “number side”, the digit is 0. You

can calculate the total value according to the key’s state. For example, when all the 4

buttons are set to “ON” side, the total value is 1+2+4+8=15. “15” is the channel code.

5. Group function

When Starblitz® SHARK studio ash at “Fx” menu, press slave button

(Fig.1) once to

switch to group setup menu “Gx”.

Press once

There are totally 4 groups for your choice from Ga, Gb, Gc to Gd.

more than 1/2 second between pressing the «TEST» button and the power switch.

1-4. Remove power cord from power source before removing the ashtube. It is re-

commended to wait at least 30 minutes before touching/removing the ash tube.

 Use white cotton gloves or a clean cloth or glove to prevent ngers from touching

the ash tube.

2.Remove Old Flash Tube

First, remove the reector. Then, using white cotton gloves or a clean cloth, remove

the modeling lamp. You will need to remove the retention spring wrapped around

the top of the ash tube. With needle-nose pliers, unhook the retention spring loop.

Using white cotton gloves or a clean cloth, grip the base of the ash tube on each

side. Carefully pull the ash tube from the ash unit.

3. Install New Flash Tube

Make sure the power switch is o and the power cord is disconnected from the

source. Locate the two ash tube pin sockets above the modeling lamp socket. Using

white cotton gloves or a clean cloth, push the pins of the ash tube into the sockets

using rm, even pressure at the base of the ash tube. With needle-nose pliers, hook

the retention spring over the hook above the ash tube. Re-insert the modeling lamp

using white cotton gloves or a clean cloth. Re-install the reector.

Changing the Fuse

A 4A fuse is mounted at the bottom of the ash unit.

1. Turn o the ash light, and disconnect the power supply before changing the fuse.

Never replace with a fuse of a dierent type or rating. A spare 4A fuse is tted in the

fuse holder

(Fig.1).

2.Use a small screwdriver to release fuse cover, remove the older fuse, place the new

fuse in the slot, and then replace the fuse holder.

Overheating Protection

After a long shooting session at high output, the recycling time of the ash will in-

crease automatically until the ash cools down to a safe level and will start working

normally again.

Flash Capacitor Preventative Maintenance

One of the most important components of an electronic ash is the capacitors. Fol-

lowing the preventative maintenance below will increase the life and the reliability

of your ash.

If the unit is left unused for a few months or predominantly used at low power set-

tings, it is recommended that the power be increased to maximum and the unit left

switched on (modeling lamp OFF) occasionally for at least 30 minutes to help pre-

serve the life of the capacitors.
