Replacing halogen lamps
The halogen lamps are plug-in. Taking the service life into consideration, the halogen
lamp should not be handled with bare hands. Exchange of the halogen lamp is
practically identical to that of the flash tube.
The Pulso G-, Unilite- and Picolite- lamp bases can be operated on the local mains (AC-
line) voltage (100V
– 240 V), when a halogen lamp is used which corresponds to the
voltage.
12.5
Cooling fan
A cooling fan in the lamp base cools the flash tube and modelling lamp. It also runs
when the modelling lamp is turned off.
12.6
Thermal protection
The lamp bases are fitted with an automatic thermal protection. Should the lamp base
overheat (e.g. by impeding the flow of cooling air), the modelling light is shut off.
Nevertheless you may continue producing flashes. The Picolite, however, has an
additional thermal protection which limits the number of flashes.
12.7
Lamp base plugs
The lamp base plugs and sockets have mechanical locking devices to prevent
inadvertent disconnection. When plugging in, ensure that the locking device engages
completely. To unplug, push down the locking spring below the cable guide and lift out
the plug. The power pack must be switched off to plug-in and to unplug.
12.8
Reflectors
Pulso and Unilite lamp bases have a bayonet fitting to attach reflectors. The Picolite
small lamp has a built-in reflector.
12.9
Fuses
Only sand-filled fuses of the type indicated on the type plate may be used; otherwise the
halogen lamp may burst.
