Flash energy : 600 J (100 V: 500 J)

f-stop at a distance of 2 m / 6.6 feet
100 ISO, reflector                                 :
P50 // P70 45 5/10 // 32 5/10 (100 V: 45 2/10 // 32 2/10)

Flash duration t 0.1 (t 0.5) : 1/420 s (1/1500 s) with mains voltage 110 – 240 V
                                                   => with mains voltage 100 V: about 20 % longer

Charging time (for 100 % of selected energy) : 230 V / 50 Hz: 0,4 – 1,4 s, 120 V / 60 Hz: 0,4 – 1,9 s, 100 V / 50 Hz: 0,4 – 3,0 s,
                                                                                   Can be switched to slow charge mode

The technical data of the Minicom 80 are optimised for a certain mains voltage (200-240 V or 120 V). If the unit is operating on an alternative mains voltage, an
extension of the charging time results. If the units is operating on mains voltage 100 V the maximum flash energy is reduced to 500 J.

Ready display : Visual and audible (can be switched off), signals when 100 % of selected energy is reached

Controls : Illuminated digital display, LED display as well as dust- and scratch-proof, illuminated silicone keyboard

Control range of flash energy : over 4 f-stops in 1/10 increments (1:16); can be switched to 5 f-stops (1:32)
(100 V: 1/3 f-stop less)

Modelling light : Halogen max. 300 W
                               Proportional to flash energy as well as „full“ and “low” settings. Proportionality adjustable to all broncolor flash systems and the various output levels.
 
Additional functions : - Sequences (serial flashes) up to 50 flashes
                                       - Sensibility of the photocell can be reduced

Flash release : Manual release button, photocell and infrared receiver (can be switched off), sync cable, FCM 2, FCC, IRX2, transmitter RFS, transceiver RFS

Flash monitoring : Visual: Dim or boost function of the modelling light during charging
                                   Audible: buzzer

Remote control : By means of the 8 channel RFS Interface (Radio Frequency System) for remote control of the unit by radio from Servor RFS as well as transceiver RFS from PC or Macintosh computer. Up to 8 units can be controlled Per channel (studio), there can be controlled up to 8 units.

Operational distance outdoors : up to 30 m / 98.4 feet

Operational distance in closed rooms : up to 20 m / 65.6 feet

Range : up to 300 m / 984 feet

Number of sync sockets : 2

Dimensions (L x W X H) : 286 x 154 x 194 mm / 11.2 x 6 x 7.6 inch
