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 exposed and
could be touched.
In case of a damaged flash tube, the flash head has to be
unplugged
from the power pack immediately and sent to
an authorized HENSEL service department. Do not only
turn the flash head off, because the capacitors inside the
power pack may still be charged and dangerous high
voltage can still be present at the damaged flash tube
electrodes.
For replacement of flash tubes please consult your local
HENSEL agency.
Assembly
When mounting to a ceiling system or a pantograph, sus-
pended flash heads have to be doubly secured from falling
down. This is done by tightening the safety screw on the
HENSEL U-bracket or the wrench screw on the HENSEL
tilting head. Due to the existing safety regulations, it is,
however, necessary to use a safety rope (
Code No. 769 ) for
further security. The safety rope has to be led through the
handle of the flash head and then secured by looping through
the bracket on the pantograph or the eyelet on the carriage.
Heat development
All flash units emit heat when modeling light and flash tube
are in use. This heat development can possibly heat equip-
ment parts up, so that there is a danger of injury when
touching these parts. Due to the development of heat, flash
units and generators must not be operated in the vicinity of
easily flammable material. An appropriate safety distance
must be kept. Furthermo
re, the flash unit’s and generator’s air
vents must be kept unobstructed to insure sufficient ventilation
at all times. Flash units and generators should not be
operated while left unattended. The modeling light must not be
used continuously at full power, otherwise it may overheat.
