General safety rules and information
Compact flash systems store electrical energy in
capacitors that are charged to high voltage potentials.
Because there is a significant risk of electric shock in
handling flash units in general, safe working practices, in
addition to common sense, must be applied to reduce this
risk. The following safety instructions must be strictly
observed. Therefore read and comply with the safety hints
(also see the paragraph
Starting up
) within the user
manual prior to turning the flash unit on. Please consult us
if you have questions, or if you have any doubts per-
taining to the safe operation of this equipment.
This compact flash unit is meant for studio use by pro-
fessional photographers and for industrial applications. Its
task is to provide the electric energy for the production of
light via flash discharges.
This equipment may not be used for any other purposes
other than that described above.
Halogen lamps and flash tubes can burst during
operation under adverse conditions. Therefore, this
flash unit may only be used with a properly installed
Hensel protection glass dome. If this protection dome
should show any defects or damages, it must be
replaced immediately. It can be ordered from Hensel-
Visit or any authorized Hensel distributor.
Your Speed Max flash unit comes equipped with a
clear glass protection dome. It must be fitted at all
times during operation for the protection of persons
and objects.
The changing of the flashtube and modeling lamp
must only be executed with the flash unit turned off,
unplugged from the mains, and completely dis-
charged.
The quartz (silica glass) flash tube of the Speed Max
is specifically matched to the operating conditions
