1a.4 Displa| mAam

This indication is shown, when the unit is overcharging. Switch off the unit and switch it

on again after a few minutes. If this fault continues to exist, please contact an after-sales

service centre.

1a.I Acoustic Ylash monitoSing

At the end of their service life, flash tubes often have triggering interruptions. This fault is

indicated by an audible, intermittent signal. The signal disappears when the flash tube

flashes properly again or the unit is switched off.

1a.6 MonitoSing oY the modelling light

If the Minicom monolights are connected to 200 V – 240 V mains voltage, after previously

having been operated on 100 V - 120 V mains voltage, they will release an audible signal

and the modelling light will blink at a safely reduced voltage. This function serves as a

reminder that the modelling lamp must be exchanged, and also to protect against

damage of the lamp. Switch the unit off and on again to return to standard operation.

1^. Mounting

The stand adapter is located below the housing. The adapter is designed for 12 mm bolts

(broncolor

q

) and 16 mm bolts.

Make sure the unit is firmly attached to the stand before operating. The click-stops of the

locking handle can be adjusted by pulling it out.

There are two possibilities for suspended mounting:

a) The bracket of the monolight is mounted upwards. To this purpose, dismount the

bracket by removing the locking lever as well as the two retaining screws at the side

of the unit. Turn over the bracket by directing the stand support upwards. Afterwards

insert the bracket in the lower guide rail of the housing and re-insert the locking lever

as well as the two retaining screws. In this case the enclosed locking pin must be

screwed into the lower part of the stand adapter. This is not required for stand

mounting. In this kind of suspended mounting, compared with the following option,

the front panel of the unit is still readable (instead of hanging upside down) and the

cooling efficiency is not reduced.

b) It is also possible to tilt the monolight to enable mounting of the bracket with upwards

directed stand support. Also in this case the enclosed locking pin must be screwed

into the lower part of the stand adapter.

Attention:

A safety cable must be installed whenever the unit is suspended.
