"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."
