"When disassembling the system, turn Power switch to the off position.
The 2401CX/SX power supply will automatically discharge its storage
capacitors. Do not push the Push to Flash switch before turning power
supply off. This may damage power supply. Power supplies may flash their
light units when turned off. This is normal."

        That's what the current manual states. Could it the pack is dropping 
the 
power to a lower level but not totally discharging the power. I've never 
taken the flashmeter to my mono-lights but the impression I get is when the 
lights are fired with the power off the amount of light isn't full power.
