Third party manufacturers
Even through similar lamp sockets and plugs are used by other
manufactures as well, lamps and flash heads from these
manufactures must not be connected to the VELA power pack.
This requires in every case an adapter cord. Ask your HENSEL
agent about suitable adapter cords for your brand.
Number of flash heads connected
Max. 3 flash heads are allowed to be simultaneously connected
to the VELA AS power pack. VELA S power packs can be only
operated with max. 2 connected flash heads. The maximum
load capacity of the flash head must not be exceeded.
Power distribution
Distribution of flash power in VELA AS power packs is achieved
asymmetrically over the 2 channels A and B. In VELA S power
packs the flash power is symmetrically distributed over 2
sockets.
Mechanical connection of lamp plugs
•
Before connecting lamp plugs switch off the power pack
using main switch (on the left side of the housing).
•
Only use flawless plugs and sockets.
The lamp plug is locked using a mechanical catch. For this,
insert the plug into the flash sockets 13 slightly tilted forward
and then press it tightly into the catch at the rear near the cable
duct.
To disconnect the plug, press back the catch and pull the plug
upwards at the back at the cable duct.
Plugmatic
The flash sockets 13 are fitted with the HENSEL safety system
„Plugmatic“. This enables unplugging and replugging the flash
plugs without danger. Only after the plug has been completely
inserted the triggering voltage is present by micro switch.
Still, plugs should only be unplugged or plugged in when
the power pack is turned off.
7 Operation
Switching ON and OFF
By pressing the main switch (on the left side of the housing) the
