Lowel Fren-L 650 Instructions

General Warnings

The Lowel Fren-L 650 TM is a profes-
sional lighting system. Read these
instructions and lamp manufactur-
ers' warnings before operating.
■ Make certain that lamp voltage
matches power voltage (example: both
must be 120v or both 220v).
■ Units such as these emit
considerable light and heat. Touch only
relatively cool parts such as handle and
knobs or use thermal gloves.
■ Avoid placing unit too close
to people or to delicate objects, materials
or art, especially in spot setting.
■ Do not use closer than 3 feet
from subject.
■ The lens will absorb much of the
ultraviolet (UV) emission. Ultraviolet light
ray emissions can cause damage to the
eyes and reddening of the skin.
The likelihood of either occurring is
increased with length of exposure, focus
intensity and proximity. Caution must be
used if the fixture is operated for long
periods of time or excessively close to
people' s faces. Bounce illumination also
eliminates this problem.

General Warnings continued
■ Do not interfere with the unit's
ventilation by covering it in any way.
■ Avoid aiming the light at,
or placing it close to flammable materials.
Do not use near standing water or in
damp locations.
■ Not for household use,
use only for photographic lighting (film;
video; imaging) purposes.
Lamp Insertion & Removal
Caution: Always unplug the
fixture before relamping.
Move the lamp carriage to the back of
the Fren-L (spot setting) using the Focus
Knob. It is helpful if the fixture is in a
horizontal position and the Yoke is not
above the fixture. Press the small button
on the left front of the top panel and
swing the panel up.
INSERTION: Grasp the edges of the
lamp' s porcelain base with a soft, clean
material (to prevent oil from your hands
damaging the lamp "glass"). Make sure
the two polarized (different sized) lamp
pins match the socket holes and that the
porcelain base is centered in the socket
springs. Press down firmly on the base
until the lamp is fully seated.

Warnings/Basic Operations
CAUTION: Partially seated lamps can
operate but the socket will eventually
be damaged and the beam will not be
optimum. It can cause arcing and pitting
of both the socket and lamp pins.
Removal: Wait for lamp to cool or use
a suitable, thermal glove. Grasp the
edges of the lamp' s porcelain base with
a soft, clean material and wiggle it
slightly while pulling straight out.
Never pull on the lamp envelope.
