Changing the halogen lamp
The halogen lamps are also plug-in or screw-in. Taking the service life into
consideration, the halogen lamp should not be handled with bare hands. Exchange of
the halogen lamp is practically identical to that of the flash tube.
The Pulso G, Unilite, Primo and Picolite lamp base can be operated on the local mains
(AC-line) voltage (100-240 V) when a halogen lamp is used which corresponds to the
voltage.
13.3 Cooling
fan
A cooling fan in the lamp base cools the flash tube and modelling lamp. It also runs
when the modelling lamp is turned off.
13.4 Thermal
protection
The lamp bases are fitted with an automatic thermal protection. Should the lamp base
overheat (e.g. by impeding the flow of cooling air), the modelling light is shut off.
Nevertheless you may continue producing flashes. The Picolite, however, has an
additional thermal protection which limits the number of flashes.
13.5
Lamp base plugs
The lamp base plugs and sockets have mechanical interlocks to prevent inadvertent
disconnection. When plugging in, ensure that those interlocks engage completely. To
unplug, push down the locking spring under the cable guide and lift out the plug. The
power pack must be switched off to plug-in and to unplug.
13.6 Reflectors
Pulso, Unilite and Primo lamp bases have a bayonet fitting to attach reflectors. The
Picolite small lamp has a built-in reflector.
13.7 Fuses
Only sand-filled fuses of the type indicated on the type plate may be used; otherwise the
halogen lamp may burst.
