The studio flash unit is no longer under
voltage when its capacitor is discharged
and the power plug has been removed
from the power socket.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
- Switch off the studio flash unit with the
ON/OFF switch when you are not
using it.
- Remove the power plug from the power
socket:
- in the event of long usage breaks.
- before all installation and
maintenance measures and discharge
the capacitor of the studio flash unit.
Faulty cables, moisture and wetness
can cause the mains connection to
short-circuit. As a result, line insulation
and/or lead wires may melt.
DANGER OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK!
- Only connect the studio flash unit to
the power mains with the supplied
original cables. These cables are
matched to the unit and guarantee the
necessary safety.
- You must not use the studio flash unit
- with wet hands or feet
- in wet rooms or outdoors. Do not
expose the studio flash unit to drip-
ping or spraying water (e.g. rain)!
- regions with a tropical climate!
- if cables and leads are damaged.
Oil from your skin on the flash tube or
the bulb of the modelling lamp can
cause them to explode because of the
high amount of heat generated during
operation.
DANGER OF CUTS OR SPLINTERS
- Never touch the bulb of the modelling
lamp with bare fingers. Only touch the
flash tube and the bulb of the model-
ling lamp with a clean, grease-free
cloth or cotton gloves.
- When installing accessories, make sure
that you avoid touching the flash tube
and bulb.
- Treat the flash tube and bulb with care
so that the glass does not break.
There may be heat accumulation by the
flash tube if the studio flash unit is setup
such that the flash tube points vertically
downwards when it flashes.
When the unit is setup that way,
- do not trigger rapid sequences of
flashes with high flash output (>5).
- do not use any small, tight reflectors.
- do not use a starburst filter on the
reflector.
