Re: Ilford 500 Multi Contrast Head Question
Leigh, true for your head and mine. You are are correct. I simply pointed to an earlier model in case that might be what the OP had or there was a mess-up in his dichroic filters.

For sure. Here is an early friend on my very rare Rickman/Trident.
Note the deletion of the lights. :)

Re: Ilford 500 Multi Contrast Head Question
I also note the bike's not moving, which is no doubt down to a Lucas failure :rolleyes:

Answers are in the manual/instructions and they are good.
Further down the PDF I linked to tell us how to interpret
contrast outcome and how to adjust the switches.
First I would check if your bulbs are equivalent. I lucked
out by buying from the same lot.
I should add that I had to rewire my head. It was shorting,
throwing sparks. I swear it was a Lucas Ltd. design.
(Old British auto folks will understand.)
Best of luck!

I did read the owners manual. Unfortunately, the manual I have and for which you provided a link was for the 500C control panel and the feature I asked my question about is on the 500 CPM control panel and I cannot find a manual for this unit.

Re: Ilford 500 Multi Contrast Head Question
The 500CPM (which I have) is just a design upgrade of the 500C controller.
Operationally they're identical. They're both designed to work with the 500H head.
But the later head uses 300-watt bulbs rather than 150-watt.

Bingo.
I suspected that the later head was using a higher wattage bulb hence the illumination disparity between the two units I am now working with.
