Attention:  
Read before starting up the monobloc  

 

 

Prior to replace fuses, modelling lamp or flash tubes, discharges the unit and
disconnect it immediately from power supply. Prior to replacing the modelling lamp
or flash tube, let the unit cool down for a period of 10 minutes. 

 

The unit is designed for use in dry conditions. Protect it form water and from
excessive exposure do dust.  

  

The unit is not suitable for use in an environment where there is a risk of
explosure. 

 

The accessories mounted onto to the monobloc may heat up to high temperatures
under specific conditions. Handle with care. 

 

With due allowance for heat radiation, units with more than 100 W modelling light
may be directed against inflammable surfaces only at a minimum distance of
1 meter.  

 

For safety reasons, never operate the unit without protecting glass in place.   

 

Flash light contains, similar to sunlight, a specific portion of UV light. The
undesirable side effects on skin and eyes are considerably reduced by using flash
tubes and glass covers with an UV coating. Without these or other protective
filters, use with extreme care when shooting.  

 

Even when disconnected from the power supply, dangerous voltages may remain
inside the unit. For this reason, units should be opened by authorized broncolor
service shops.  

 

-  

Do not block the cooling louvers on the unit   

 

Only fuses of the type indicated on the safety label may be used. This is especially
important for the halogen lamp which can explode when used with the wrong fuse. 

 

 

Only use sand-filled fuses. They can be identified by their opaque fuse container.
