Art,
"N- position, for all NORMAL use in flash synchronization by solenoid or internally syncronized and focal plane shutters. Connect the contact points to the SHUTTER outlet and trip the shutter with the body release or cable release.
Tripping the shutter with the solenoid cause a double delay in opening the shutter. When using the solenoid, connect it to the SOLENOID outlet on the case and press the main switch button or a remote switch connected to the REMOTE outlet to close the circuit. This action fires the flashlamp and causes the solenoid to trip the shutter in Syncronization.
No.-1 Position, disconnects the battery case lamp socket and EXTENTION outlet, permitting the solenoid to be operated independently on a separatet circut. Thus the function of the solenoid is to trip the shutter when the main or remote switch is closed. If the contact post of a syncronized sutter are also connected to the SHUTTER outlet of the case, the lamp firing circuit is closed in the usual manner. by the internal syncronizer after the shutter has been tripped by the solenoid, or body release.
No-2 Position is used only when anoter battery case is added to the system to increase the voltage in the lamp firing circuit. This hookup is rather complicated and should only be attempted by personnel who are familiar with the basic principles of electricity and are proficient in the operation of flash equipment."
