Safety hints for operation with flash heads
To avoid damage to the flash tube, mount reflectors and
Iightformers (softboxes, etc.)
before
use and turning the unit
on. Do not move lamp heads around while they are operating.
Turn flash head and power pack off for each change of
reflectors or to move the lamp head to another location.
Caution: reflectors, speedrings and other accessories heat up
during longer operation. To avoid injuries, handle with
isolating cloth or wait until the parts have cooled down.
A damaged flash tube is extremely dangerous because
the electrically charged electrodes are exposed and could
be touched. Turn the unit off and disconnect it from any
power supply before replacing the flash tube. Wait at least
15 minutes before continuing the procedure and until any
remaining condenser voltage has dissipated.
The EH Pro Mini heads are equipped with a user-
replaceable flash tube. In case of an exchange the safety
regulations must be strictly adhered to. For replacement,
please refer to page 33,
Maintenance.
Assembly
When mounting to a ceiling system or a pantograph, the
suspended head has to be double secured from falling down.
This is done by tightening the safety screw (not Hensel tilting
head).
Due to the existing safety regulations it is, however,
necessary to use a steel cord (Code No. 769) for further
security.
The safety rope has to be led through the handle on the back
of the unit which then has to be fastened on a suitable part of
the boom or the rail system.
Heat development
Each flash head emits heat through its modeling light and
flash tube. This can cause heating parts of the lamp head up
to a dangerous level. Further do not operate lamp heads and
generators in the near of inflammable objects.
