Important safety instructions !
Read before starting up the unit
The continuous light source broncolor HMI 575.800 may only be used for the professional
illumination of photographic or film scenes and should only be operated by specialized staff.
When using your lighting equipment, it is imperative that the safety precautions below are
followed precisely:
1.
For safety reasons the ballast unit may only be operated with an earthed mains (AC-line)
plug. When the unit is switched on, the yellow LED
must
light up “earth ok”.
2.
Read and understand all instructions before using.
3.
The UV radiation content of HMI/MSR light is comparable to that of daylight. The
protecting glass has a filter which reduces the amount of UV to acceptable levels for
normal operating distances. When using at a close operating distance unprotected skin
may be exposed only for a limited time.
4.
Due to the high intensity try to avoid any eye contact with the light source.
5.
Close supervision is necessary when any lamp is used near children. Do not leave lamp
unattended while in use.
6.
The lamp base and the accessories mounted onto the lamp may heat up to high
temperatures, so please handle with care.
7.
Do not operate units with a damaged cable or if they have dropped or damaged – until
they have been examined by a qualified serviceperson.
8.
Position the cable so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or make contact with hot
surfaces.
9.
If an extension cable is necessary, a cable with a current rating at least equal to that of
the lamp should be used. Cables rated for less amperage than the appliance may
overheat. If using a cable reel, uncoil it completely before use, to avoid overheating of the
cable.
10.
For safety reasons the lamp base should only be operated with a faultless protection
glass. This provides protection from UV radiation and injuries caused by hot fragments.
11.
Do not impede the flow of cooling air circulating through the lamp base and the ballast
unit. During operation the ballast units HMI 575.800 are not stackable. The cooling of the
single units would be strongly affected.
