HENSEL-VISIT GmbH & Co. KG
The Speed Max must be protected against humidity,
spray water and rain.
When operating the unit close to water e.g. a
swimming pool, it is very important to prevent
the unit from falling into the pool because that
would create an extremely dangerous situation
in which the life of all persons in the pool is at
stake! This must be observed unconditionally
when working close to water!
Do not use any third party accessories on this unit,
even if they look the same or a vendor is claiming
compatibility. Only by using the original parts and
accessories is it ensured that the flash unit is ful-
filling its dedicated task in a safe and reliable way.
The flash unit must be doubly secured by means of
an additional steel safety cable if it is to be used on
a ceiling system, hanging from a pantograph or
other fixture.
Do not point the flash directly into the eyes of
persons at distances less than 2 m, and do not look
straight into the flash reflector, because this can
lead to eye damage if a flash should be triggered
inadvertently.
Consequently, the flash unit must be turned off
before exchanging light formers. If the protection
dome and the surrounding areas are very hot, the
flash unit should be given a chance to cool down to
a safe temperature.
The working area must be properly ventilated and
aired regularly to prevent inadmissible ozone con-
centrations that can occur when using high-powered
flash systems.
The flash unit must be protected against dust at all
times. If there is dust emission prevalent in the working
area, the flash units not in operation should be
protected by a suitable cover. However, this cover
must be taken off before putting the unit in operation.
