Allow the lamp to cool before removing.

Unscrew the modelling lamp from the lampholder in the

centre of the reflector and replace with a new lamp.

The modelling and flash circuitry is protected by a single 5A

fuse mounted on the rear control panel.

Never replace the fuse with one of a different rating.

As the fuse may blow when the modelling lamp fails, always

check the fuse when replacing the bulb.

A spare fuse is supplied in the fuse holder.

Always switch the unit off and disconnect the Gemini unit

from the power supply before changing the fuse.

There are several ways to trigger your Gemini Classic.

Open Flash:

For testing or multiple-flash applications the open-flash

button can be used.

Sync Socket:

The standard 1/4” socket on the rear control panel of the unit

may be used for direct connection to a camera set to ‘X’

synchronisation. Two Gemini units may be connected

together using a ‘Y’ connector. An infrared receiver or flash

slave may also be plugged into this socket. The socket

operates at +5V and is safe for use on digital cameras.

Built-in Photocell:

The Gemini Classic has a built-in switchable photocell

enabling the unit to be triggered by the flash from any other

flash unit or a camera mounted flash gun (subject to sync

speed). It is mounted behind the red transparent cover on the

top of the unit. The photocell on/off switch is located on the

rear control panel.

Radio Frequency (RF) Card Module:

The Gemini Classic can be triggered wirelessly by purchasing

and installing either a Bowens Pulsar Radio Trigger Card Set

(BW5170) or PocketWizard Radio Cad Kit (BW5180) and

using the respective trigger unit. Kits include one radio trigger

card and one plug-in antenna.

With the Bowens Pulsar Radio Trigger system you can free

yourself from sync cables!

This multifunctional device

can be used to trigger flash

units, film and digital

cameras and light meters up

to 100m away. Because

Pulsar is a radio transmitter,

rather than IR, it allows for

triggering where there is not a direct

line-of-sight and it is not affected by

high ambient-light situations. Choose

from four individual channels and six studio

settings, providing up to 24 unique ID’s for different flash

devices or combine them to trigger all equipment within a

given setup or studio.

Because of its low-voltage operation, it is perfect for digital

cameras. Each unit can be used as either a transmitter or

receiver and operates from two AAA batteries.
