I used today my Vagabound Mini for first time, I connected 4 Elinchrom RX600. After 10 shots in full power, the flashes stop firing. The three battery lights are on, but the Vagabound don´t give power, I try with another flashes but it didn´t work. What´s the problem? (Sorry for my english)

Hoy usé mi Vagabound Mini por primera vez, le conecté 4 Elinchrom RX600. Despues de 10 disparos a maxima potencia, los flashes dejaron de disparar. Las tres luces del indicador de la bateria estan encendidas pero el Vagabound no entrega potencia, probé con otros flashes y tampoco funciona. Cual puede ser el problema?

4x600ws with 10 quick pops... check the fuse. Just my guess.

10 2400WS pops in rapid succession? You probably overheated the inverter and it probably shut down for thermal protection. If does a thermal shutdown it will come back on in a few minutes.

Not likely the fuse. If the fuse blew the battery lights would go out. If the inverter actually failed it would be extremely rare . . . we've probably had about three out of 6000 actually fail. These things are extremely reliable.
