Zeus Specifications

Maximum Continuous Usage: The maximum continuous usage rating dictates the practical usage limit. For example, if a Z2500SH Standard Head is connected to a Z2500 pack (in either the A or B socket) with the full power distributed to the one head and the flashpower adjustment slider at the full position, the head would be set to flash at its maximum power input level of 2,500 Ws. To stay within the maximum continuous usage guideline, the head should only be fired 12 times per minute (12 x 2,500 True Ws = 30,000 True Ws) at these settings.

The maximum continuous usage rating for both the Z1250 and Z2500 power packs is also 30,000 Ws per minute. With the Zeus Z2500 power pack (at 2,500 Ws), the maximum recommended usage rate is 12 shots per minute (1 shot per 5 seconds on a continuous basis). With the Zeus Z1250 power pack (at 1,250 Ws), the maximum recommended usage rate is 24 shots per minute (1 shot per 2.5 seconds on a continuous basis). Please note that these are preliminary estimates of maximum continuous usage, to be updated with more testing.

Recycle: The recycle specifications are measured as the total time needed by the unit to recycle to full power (with the flashpower adjustment slider on the power pack at the full position). The recycle time is proportionately faster at reduced power settings.

The ZEUS POWER PACKS and FLASH HEADS: Expected Output

With two flash heads connected, output is for each head metered separately. The combined output of both heads will be approximately the same f-value as the single flash-head chart at top if both heads are in the same position and aimed at the same subject.
