The Flash Tube
The Impact Digital Monolight’s flash tube is user-replaceable. To replace the
flash tube, do the following:
1.
Discharge the flash unit by pressing the test button.
2.
Power off the monolight and unplug the power cable from the flash unit
and power source.
3.
After 30 minutes, remove the modeling lamp and any other accessory
connected to the unit.
4.
Wearing a pair of cotton gloves or using a soft,
dry cloth and holding a pair of needle-nose pliers,
carefully unhook the retention spring loop of the
flash tube. Make sure it is disengaged from the
flash tube.
5.
Once it is unhooked, grip the base of the flash
tube on each side and carefully pull it from the
monolight.
6.
Pick up the new flashtube and push its pins into the sockets using firm,
even pressure at the base.
7.
With needle-nose pliers, hook the retention spring over and above the
flash tube.
8.
Reinsert the modeling lamp, then attach any accessory to the monolight.
