The Bowens Gemini Classic can be operated from either an AC (mains) supply or from a

Bowens Travelpak battery.

For AC operation, the AC switch (page 4) should be in the upper position.

For battery operation, the switch should be in the lower position.

The centre position is OFF.

NOTE: When operated from a Travelpak battery, the modelling functions are not available,

this is to preserve battery life.

• Ensure the power source is off.

• Connect the unit using the appropriate cable.

• If using the Travelpak, ensure the connector locks are fully tightened.

• Switch the power source on, then switch on the Gemini Classic.

• The unit will charge & indicate it is ready for use by lighting the green flash-ready LED.

• Press the test button to check the unit fires.

WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE!

Never connect the Gemini Classic monolight to a Travelpak

battery and AC (Mains) supply at the same time.

This appliance must be grounded when used with AC.

Disconnect the AC plug when changing modelling lamps and

flash tubes.

Mount your monolight on a dependable support system.

The mount bushing on the L-bracket allows for two possible

ways of mounting to the stand/support (below).

Method B may be found useful if the light is required to point

down.

The flash power control output level is variable over 5-stops,

from full to 1/32 power. The maximum power available

depends on the model (See specification table - page 11) and

is denoted by the numbers 1-6 on the side control panel. The

numeric divisions indicate full-f/stops.

When switched on from either the AC (mains) or Travelpak

battery unit, the unit will charge. Once the unit has charged

to the desired power level, the green flash-ready lamp will

illuminate indicating that the unit is ready to fire.

NOTE: If the unit is subjected to rapid operation over

extended periods, it may automatically go into an overheat

condition. In this condition, the flash-ready lamp will blink to

indicate overheat and modelling functions will be disabled in

order to allow the unit to cool. The unit will automatically

resume operation once cooled sufficiently.

In an overheat condition, the unit will typically take 20 minutes

to cool down. By switching the unit off and then on again

after approximately 10 minutes, the unit can be re-activated

in order to get a few extra shots if needed.

The modelling lamp control output level is variable over 5-

stops, from full to 1/32 power. The modelling lamp control

dial is denoted by the numbers 1-6 on the side control panel.

The 3-position ‘lamp mode’ control switch on the rear panel

controls the following functions;

Top (Off) - Lamp is off.

Middle (Continuous) - Lamp stays illuminated regardless of

ready state.

Bottom (Intermittent) - Lamp goes out when the unit is

flashed and comes back on when the unit is ready.

The 3-position ‘lamp level’ control switch on the rear panel

controls the following functions;

Top (User Set) - Lamp level varies with the modelling lamp

control dial.

Middle (Full) - Lamp level is maximum regardless of

modelling lamp control dial settings.

Bottom (Proportional) - Lamp level varies proportionately to

the flash power control dial.

NOTE: The modelling lamp also has a ‘lamp saver’ function

that will dim the modelling lamp to minimum after 30 minutes

if no adjustment or flashing of the unit is carried out.
