dard bayonet mount. They are secured in the
mount by slider (20).
Slider set to A = mount open.
Slider set to B = mount locked
Set slider (20) to A, insert the reflector in the
mount and lock it by clockwise rotation. To
remove, proceed in the reverse order. Attach
umbrella reflectors only in conjunction with a
STUSCH (29) reflector which includes the
required holder.
13. Changing the flash and halogen tubes
XENOLUX 250, 500
Switch the unit off and disconnect it from the
power supply. Remove the reflector or other
accessories. To remove the bayonet-mount
halogen tube (18), slightly press it down and
turn it through 90° without releasing it. Take it
out. Do not touch the bulb of the new tube with
your bare fingers when inserting it. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions in the box. Carefully
pull out flash tube (17) towards the front and
replace by a new one. Always grasp the flash
tube only by its ceramic base and press down
as far as it will go.
XENOLUX 1000, 1500
Switch the unit off and disconnect it from the
power supply. Remove Pyrex globe (19) . To do
this, press the longer one of the three spring
clips outwards at point (23) and carefully lift the
globe away laterally. Pull halogen tube (18) out
towards the front. Insert new tube without tou-
ching its bulb with your fingers. Follow
manufacturer's instructions coming with the
tube. Replace the Pyrex globe. Should the new
halogen tube fail to light, check fuse (28) at the
underside of the unit and replace by an iden-
tical one, if necessary.
Carefully withdraw flash tube (17) to the front
and replace it by a new one. Always grasp the
tube at its ceramic base and press down as far
as it will go.
For types of halogen and flash tubes, see
Specifications.
14. Fuses
To change the fuses, open the fuse holder
(27/28) with the aid of a coin. Replace blown
fuses by new ones of the identical rating (see
Table). All units come with a set of spare
fuses.
XENOLUX 250 and 500 have a master fuse
(27).
XENOLUX 1000 and 1500 have a master fuse
(27) plus a fuse (28) for their 650w halogen

15. Thermal safety
The units are protected by a thermal circuit
breaker. This may cut off the power supply in
the event of high ambient temperature or pro-
longed, heavy-duty operation. Should this
occur, the unit cannot be fired any more, the
display (2) blinks, and the modeling light goes
out. The power supply will be automatically
restored the moment the unit has cooled down.
In normal operation, the integral cooling fan is
sufficient to prevent overheating.
16. Maintenance
Equipment used daily should be checked
about once a year by an authorized Multiblitz
Service Center.
Never expose the flash unit to splashing or
dripping water.
Before shipping the equipment, be sure to
remove the flash and halogen tubes, pak-
king them separately.
17. Protective glass globes
XENOLUX 250, 500
The halogen tubes of these types of XENOLUX
units conform to the latest safety standards
(IEC 598, IEC 432-2) with integral fuse and DO
NOT require any protective glass globe.
However, should this be desired, it may be
ordered as an optional accessory. To mount it,
use the screws to secure the three spring clips
supplied at points (23). The globe comes with
separate instructions for mounting.
XENOLUX 1000, 1500
These units come with a Pyrex globe (19).
