Troubleshooting

1. The mains switch (3) is ON ("I" position), but does not light up:
          • Switch OFF the unit and change the mains fuse (2)

          • Use only time-lag fuse (16 AT), corresponding to the Style FX model
2. The switch (3) is lit, the open flash ready is lighting up but does not function. 
          • The flashtube in the flashhead may be faulty 

          • You cannot change the flashtube by yourself! => please return the unit to an authorised

             Elinchrom service.

3. The ON/OFF switch (3) is lit but the open flash signal (6) is not lit
          • Temporary break for overheating, caused by fast flash sequences or ventilation

             slots obturated

          • Fan cooling defective =>  the unit turns off automatically and cannot be fired any

             more. After a break for cooling, the flash is ready again for operation.

          • If after several minutes of break for cooling the ready signal (6) is not lit, the cause

            could be a component failure. However, high voltage may remain on the capacitor

            circuits. => DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE UNIT. In this case please send the unit

            to an authorised Elincrom station.
