6V Power Pack 2

Introduction

The Power Pack 2 consists of a plastic battery holder that takes four 1.5 Volt “D” batteries (manganese, alkaline or Ni-Cd), with an on/off switch and a 1.12 metre cord terminating in a standard 2.1 mm DC power plug. The battery holder is enclosed in an artificial leather case with an adjustable shoulder strap (maximum length 970 mm), a belt loop, and a loop for holding the cord when it is not in use. The power plug fits the power socket for the modelling lights on the T10 Ring Flash 1, T8 Ring Flash 2, T28 Macro Twin Flash 1 and T28 Macro Single Flash 1.

M. 6V Power Pack 1

Introduction

The Power Pack 1 consists of a plastic battery holder that takes four 1.5 Volt “AA” batteries (manganese, alkaline or Ni-Cd), in a soft plastic case, and a 1.2 metre cord terminating in a standard 2.1 mm DC power plug. The plug fits the power socket for the modelling lights on the T10 Ring Flash 1, T8 Ring Flash 2, T28 Macro Twin Flash 1 and T28 Macro Single Flash 1.

Olympus OM 6V Power Pack 1

The Power Pack 1 has a shorter battery life than the Power Pack 2. It is small enough to fit in a pocket, where body heat can keep the batteries warm enough to function in extremely cold conditions. The battery holder has markings that show the correct orientation of the batteries.

As with all battery-operated equipment, the batteries should be removed to prevent leakage if the unit is not going to be used for some time.

The Power Pack 1 can also be used to power the Winder 1 and Winder 2.
