•
Sudden temperature differences can cause condensation water in the unit! In such
situations the equipment must stay for 1 hour in a well ventilated place to get
acclimatise to the new temperature before startup!
•
Do not operate the units in an environment where there is a risk of explosion!
•
The monolight should not be operated in or near water! Attention: high voltage!
•
The monolight and the lamps should not be immersed in water or other liquids! It
could cause an electric shock!
•
Remove the transport protection cap on the front side of the monolight before
connecting it!
•
For safety reasons, never operate the monolight without the protecting glass in place!
UV-coated protecting glasses or UV-coated flash tubes must be utilised as a
protection against UV radiation for eyes and skin!
•
Before operation the monolight has to be fastened on a stand or a suspension device!
The monolight must be locked by tightening the mounting screw!
•
Only sand-filled fuses of the type indicated on the safety type plate may be used with
these monolight, as a protection for the halogen lamp! Sand-filled fuses can be
identified by their opaque fuse body! With incorrect fuse protection the halogen lamp
may burst!
•
Filters or diffusors should not be fastened directly on the flash tube, halogen
modelling lamp or protecting glass!
•
Do not operate appliance with a damaged earthed cable. Cables which are damaged
or twisted must be replaced!
•
The unit must only be connected to an earthed socket, or an emergency power
generator and an earthed extension cable!
•
If an extension cable is necessary, a cable with a current rating at least equal to that
of the appliance should be used. Cables rated for less amperage than the appliance
may overheat. When using a cable reel, it must be completely unrolled before use to
prevent overheating of the cable!
•
The unit is suitable for operation with a motor generator provided that the voltage lies
within all the load conditions (including capacitive load) and within the tolerance limit
of 200-264 V respectively 95-135 V! From experience this means that only electronic
stabilised motor generators are to be utilised! When operating on unstabilised motor
generators, voltage peaks of 300 V and more have been observed! This can lead to
damages for which we assume no liability!
•
Do not operate the lamps inside a bag or a box!
•
The ventilation slots on the unit or on the lamp should not be covered!
•
Pay attention when laying, clearing away or rolling up cables that the do not contact
hot surfaces or parts of lamps and that they will not be tripped over by persons!
•
Do not touch the connection socket for mains cable and lamp outlets on the
monolight and do not poke in it with metal objects!
•
Flash tubes, modelling light, halogen lamps and protecting glasses heat up to a high
operating temperature, this also applies to the front side of the monolight! Therefore
the attachments also assume also temperatures! Handle with care! Contact with hot
components can cause injuries!
