ATTENTION! IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HMI F1600 | HMI 800.1600
> Read carefully before starting up!
> The equipment should be used exclusively by qualified personnel.
> Use only a complete and undamaged connection cable. Position the cable so that it will not be
tripped over or make contact with hot surfaces. If an extension cable is necessary, ensure that a
cable is used with a current rating at least equal to that of the ballast. Cables rated for less amper-
age than the appliance may overheat.
> For safety reasons, the ballast unit may only be operated with an earthed mains (AC-line) plug.
When the appliance is switched on, the yellow LED light must illuminate.
> Avoid incorrect use of any kind and be particularly careful not to obstruct the natural circulation of
air that keeps the lamp and ballast unit cool.
> The ballast unit and lamp must not be exposed to moisture. This could cause dangerous electric
discharges on contact!
> To minimise the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, use exclusively accessories
recommended by the manufacturer.
> The equipment must not be used in explosion-hazard areas.
> The lamp and accessory attachments may heat up to high temperatures. Please handle with care.
> When these units are used suspended, they must always be secured with a steel cable.
> To protect against the effects of radiated heat, the lamp must not be directed at flammable
surfaces and/or surfaces sensitive to heat or any objects from less than a minimum distance of
2 meters.
> In order to achieve maximum service life from the lamp, the heating up process of approx.
1 minute should not be interrupted.
> Use the lamp only with a reflector or adapter with undamaged safety glass. Lamps can burst.
The safety glass will retain hot fragments.
> Like natural daylight, HMI/MSR light contains a certain proportion of UV radiation. The safety glass
reduces the UV content to safe levels for normal operating distances. When used at a close
operating distance, limit the exposure time of unprotected skin.
> Before replacing fuses or the lamp, disconnect the ballast unit from the mains power supply.
> Before the ballast unit is cleaned or serviced, and while it is not in use, it must be switched off
and completely disconnected from the mains supply. Never pull on the cable itself: pull only on the
plug body.
> Allow time for the ballast unit and lamp to cool before you stow them.
> Units with noticeable damage or which have been dropped must not be started up. Contact a
broncolor service station. Service work or repairs must always be carried out by a specialist.
> Only original spare parts must be used to guarantee long-term mechanical and electrical
operating safety. Incorrect assembly can cause dangerous contact voltages, even on connected
units.
