IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before you use your flash equipment for the first time, please read all the information contained
in these operating instructions carefully. The safety instructions they contain must be strictly fol-
lowed!
>
Make sure you are thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions!
>
Remove all transport protection and packing materials!
>
Take special care of your equipment, particularly when there are children present! Never leave flash
equipment unattended!
>
Like sunlight, flash light contains a certain amount of UV radiation! Using flash tubes or wearing
glasses that provide UV protection considerably reduces the undesirable side effects on skin and
eyes! Nevertheless, when taking pictures at close range, avoid exposing unprotected skin and
eyes to flashes! Eye contact with the light source should also be avoided! The maximum daily
exposure to UV radiation according to IEC 60335–2–27 / DIN 5031–10 is 50 J / m2. This value must
not be exceeded.
>
The distance between a lamp and a person or a lamp and an inflammable or heat-sensitive surface
must be at least 1 m to prevent injury or damage from thermal radiation!
>
Always unplug appliance from electrical socket before cleaning, servicing and when not in use!
Never jerk cable to pull the plug from the socket. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect! Allow at least
10 minutes for cooling before replacing a halogen lamp or the flash tube!
>
broncolor flash systems should only be used with original broncolor flash tubes, original broncolor
bulbs and fuses, original broncolor accessories, and original broncolor spare parts.
>
broncolor monolights and accessories comply with extremely high safety standards! However, if
equipment from other manufacturers is used with broncolor monolights, the built-in safety meas-
ures may be rendered ineffective. Our guarantee is invalidated by the use of such unauthorised
combinations and we accept no liability for damage arising from such use.
>
To minimise the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, use exclusively accessories rec-
ommended by the manufacturer!
>
Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the information on the type plate!
>
The flash equipment is designed for use in dry conditions and in an ambient temperature between
–10° C and 45° C. Protect the flash equipment from moisture, condensation, from dripping and
splash water, humidity, dirt, sand, metal chips and the effects of dust!
>
Protect flash equipment from electromagnetic fields, shock and vibration!
>
Protect flash equipment from heat and frost! If the monolight is exposed to sub-zero temperatures,
a permanent loss of power output and serious technical damage may result!

>
Sudden temperature differences may result in condensation forming inside the unit. In such situ-
ations allow the equipment to stand for at least one hour in a well-ventilated place to acclimatise
to the new temperature before start-up!
>
Do not operate the flash equipment in places where there is an explosion hazard!
>
Monolights must never be used in water, on water or submerged in any other liquid! Attention: High
voltage – danger of fatal injury!
>
For safety reasons never operate the monolight without the safety glass in place! To protect eyes
from UV radiation either a UV -coated safety glass or a UV -coated flash tube must be used.
>
Before start-up the monolight must be mounted on a stand or suspended from a suitable mounting.
When a lamp is suspended it must be secured to the stand adapter by tightening the retaining screw.
>
For monolights, use only sand-filled fuses of the type indicated on the safety plate to protect halo-
gen lamps! Sand-filled fuses can be identified by their opaque body. If the wrong fuse is used, the
modelling lamp may burst.
>
Filters or diffusers should not be fastened directly on to flash tubes, halogen modelling lamps, or
safety glasses!
>
Do not operate appliance with a damaged earthed cable. Cables which are damaged or twisted
must be replaced!
>
The unit must only be connected to an earthed socket, or an emergency power generator!
>
If an extension cable is necessary, a cable with a current rating at least equal to that of the ap-
pliance should be used. Cables rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat. When
using a cable reel, it must be completely unrolled before use to prevent overheating of the cable!
>
Make sure the cooling slots on the monolight are not covered or obstructed!
>
When laying, clearing away or rolling up cables, make sure they do not contact hot equipment or
parts of lamps and that they do not cause a tripping hazard!
>
Flash tubes, modelling lights, halogen lamps and safety glasses operate at high temperatures. This
applies also to the front face of monolights. Any accessories used on the front of a lamp also be-
come very hot. Take great care when handling them! Touching hot components can cause injuries!
When operating flash equipment, never touch glass or metal parts!
>
After use allow the monolight to cool before packing it away!
>
Monolights that have fallen over or been damaged must be checked by a competent specialist
before they are put back into service!
