Post subject:  Zeus 2500 3/4 1/4 switch setting & 1 flash head.

Can the 1/4 switch be used with a single head installed in socket B to access 1/16 & 1/32 power?

Would there be a problem if the switch was in this position, for firing, while a single head was attached to either socket A or B?

Thanks.
Robert

When using the ratio switch, if the 1/1 position is selected, one head in A or B will fire full power. If using the 3/4 1/4 switch, the A socket will emit 3/4 the power and the B socket will fire at 1/4 power. There is no harm (and is, in fact a design feature) to use a single head in either A or B.

The above powers are assuming the slider is set to FULL. You will still maintain a 5 stop power range relative to the max power in each example. Therefore, using one head in B set to 1/4 will access 1/64 and 1/128 power on the low end.
