The system is generally compatible with most reflectors of the Bowens / S-Line as well as
HENSEL / E and EH series. As for HENSEL reflectors, the clamps fit around the raised
edge of the reflector from the outside. Should you have any questions concerning
compatibility, please contact us.
Connection of softboxes to flash heads
The PRIOLITE softboxes have a speedring which is mounted to the reflector locking
mechanism of the flash head the same way as reflectors (see description above). For
softboxes of other brands adapters are available upon request. Please ask for details.
Umbrella attachment to flash heads
To attach an umbrella to the flash head insert the rod in the round opening at the front of
the rail profile to the desired length and tighten it using the knurled screw.
Acclimatization
If the flash units are to be set up at a new location with a different humidity level and/or
temperature, the units should stand for a while before operation in the room in which it is to
be used. This should prevent the formation of leakage current which can develop due to
precipitation.
Overheating
All units are equipped with a fan to prevent damage to the flash tube and the unit itself
during long series of flashes. Nonetheless, should overheating occur, an error message will
appear on the LED display. The error message will be automatically reset as soon as the
unit has cooled down.
Starting up
The flash head does not have a main switch. Before starting-up, the flash head cable has to
be connected to the generator by connecting the plug into the socket of the power pack.
This is done by clockwise turning the plug into the bayonet lock. After switching-on the
power pack, the flash head is ready to flash.
Before each operation, the black plastic transportation cap has to be removed.
Each power pack provides only one socket for flash head connection. Only
operation of one PRIO HEAD 1000 per generator is approved. The flash head is
suitable for both types of power packs (M-PACK 500 and M-PACK 1000 (HS)).
The power pack is switched on and off by pressing the main switch protected by a flap
against unintentional switching.
