Page: 2 / 20

Thank you for your purchase of the Impact EX-100A Monolight. The
EX-100A Monolight is economical and lightweight, yet durable enough to
give you many years of trouble-free service and enjoyment. Please read
these operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before
operating this equipment.
Features
• Three-stop range – full power to 1/8 power, steplessly
• Built-in optical slave
• Modeling lamp can be set to proportional or full power
• Accepts Elinchrom-style reflectors and head accessories
(8-inch grid reflector included)
• Tactile, “grippy” feel that resists slipping, scratches, and shock damage
• Commonly available 1/8˝ mini-plug sync input
• Low 4.3V trigger voltage – safe for any camera’s circuitry
Power Requirements
This light comes in two models; one is designed for use with 110/120V AC power in the US
and the other for 220V AC power in Europe. Neither model can be used outside of its
native power region. Both are supplied with a three-prong, grounded plug. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature. If necessary, use only grounded extension cords
rated for six amps or greater.
Warning
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Only qualified service engineers
should access the inside of the case (Danger – high-voltage parts inside). Avoid damage
to both the flashtube and modeling lamp. If the modeling lamp or flashtube become
cracked or damaged in any way, they should be replaced immediately. Do not use your
flash unit in an environment where moisture or flammable vapor is likely to come in
contact with the unit. Turn the power off and unplug the power cord when the unit is not
in use. Always remove the modeling lamp and replace the protective cap when
transporting the unit. Avoid strong light falling onto the slave cell as it will prevent
efficient operation. If the unit blows a fuse, a replacement fuse can be inserted in the
pull-out compartment on the back of the unit. To ensure long life of the flash capacitors,
the flash unit should be powered up and fired several times at least every two months.
