Installing the protection glass dome
Attention: Handling or installing the protective glass cover
must only be executed when the flash unit is turned off
and separated from the mains supply. Allow the flash unit
and its glass cover to cool down before handling it. Care
must be taken to avoid damaging the flash tube or the
halogen modeling lamp.
The glass dome is held by three springs. It has to be tilted
slightly while moving it into position over two of the three
springs. Next, applying moderate pressure, the glass
dome has to be pushed into position until the third spring
snaps in.
To remove the glass dome it is necessary to tilt it slightly
until one of the springs comes free. Exerting only
moderate force the glass dome can now be pulled from
the remaining springs in a straight forward direction.
Attaching accessories
All Hensel reflectors and Hensel softboxes with the EH
series (Ø 10 cm mount) may be attached to the Speed
Max flash unit, including umbrellas and Softstars.
The quick-change reflector mechanism of the Speed Max
makes changing light formers easy. In order to connect
reflectors or soft boxes, the holding clamps must be
unlocked and brought into the open position by moving
lever
1
to the left into the end position. Now the light
former can be moved carefully into place, aligning it so it
sits square and even. Moving the lever
1
to the right will
lock the light former firmly into position.
For the removal of a light former it must be held firmly
(
Careful - it may be hot !)
before the clamps of the quick-
change mechanism are brought into the unlock position
by moving lever
1
to the left. This releases the light former
so it can be taken off carefully.
The Speed Max comes equipped with an integrated
umbrella holder
24.
Its spring clamping mechanism
enables mounting of umbrellas and Softstars.
