12.5 Acoustic flash monitoring
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.
12.6 Monitoring
of
the modelling light
If the monoblocs Minicom 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.
13. Mounting
The stand adapter is located below the housing. The adapter is designed for bolts 12 mm
(broncolor
®
) and bolts 16 mm.
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 three possibilities for suspended mounting:
a) The bracket of the monobloc 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 monobloc 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.
c) An alternative bracket for suspended mounting is available under art. no. 35.228.00.
The above mentioned instructions are also valid for this application.
Attention:
A safety cable must be installed whenever the unit is suspended.
14. Umbrella holder
Diffusing and reflex umbrellas are used in conjunction with the umbrella reflector (art. no.
33.496.00).The umbrella bar is inserted into the special holder in the stand adapter.
