Safety hints for operation with flash heads
To avoid damage to the flash tube, mount reflectors and
lightformers (softboxes, etc.)
before
use and turning on
the unit. Do not move lamp heads around while they are
operating. Turn flash head and power pack off for each
change of reflectors or to move the lamp head to another
location.
Caution: reflectors, speedrings and other accessories
heat up during longer operation. To avoid injuries, handle
with isolating cloth or wait until parts have cooled down.
A damaged flash tube is extremely dangerous
because the electrically charged electrodes are ex-
posed and could be touched. Turn the unit off and
disconnect it from any power supply before replacing
the flash tube. Wait at least 15 minutes before
continuing the procedure and until any remaining
condenser voltage has dissipated. The EH Pro Mini
heads are equipped with a user-replaceable flash
tube. In case of an exchange the safety regulations
must be strictly adhered to.
For replacement, please
refer to page 34

Maintenance.
Assembly
When mounting to a ceiling system or a pantograph, the
suspended head has to be double secured from falling
down. This is done by tightening the safety screw (not
included in the standard delivery) into the thread of the
Hensel tilting head.
Due to the existing safety regulations, it is, however,
necessary to use a steel cord (Code No. 769) for further
security.
The safety rope has to be led through the handle on the
back of the unit, which then has to be fastened on a
suitable part of the boom or the rail system.
