Safety hints for operation with connected flash heads
To avoid damage to the flashtube mount reflectors and
lightformers (softboxes etc.) before use and turning on the
unit. Do not move power packs and lamp heads around, while
they are operating. Turn off the appliance for each change of
reflectors or to move the unit to another location.
Caution:
Reflectors, speedrings and other accessories heat up during
longer operation. To avoid injuries, handle with isolating cloth
or wait, till parts cooled down.
A damaged flashtube is extremely dangerous because the
electrically charged electrodes are exposed and could be
touched.
In case of a damaged flashtube, the flash head has to be
unplugged from the power pack immediately, because the
capacitors inside the power pack may be still charged and
dangerous high voltage can be still present at the
damaged flashtube electrodes. The appliance has to be
sent to an authorized HENSEL service department. For
replacement of flashtubes please consult your local
HENSEL agency.
Assembly
When mounting to a ceiling system or a pantograph,
suspended flash heads have to be doubly secured from falling
down or dropping. This is done by tightening the safety screw
on the HENSEL U-bracket or the wrench screw on the
HENSEL tilting head. Due to the existing safety regulations, it
is, however, necessary to use a safety rope (Code 769) for
further security.
The safety rope has to be led through the handle of the flash
head and then secured by looping through the bracket on the
pantograph or the eyelet on the carriage.
