Instruction manual PRIOLITE M-PACK 500 / M-PACK 1000 (HS) + PRIO HEAD 1000
Using the lateral small thumbscrew on the opposite side, the flash unit can be shifted
◊
backwards or forwards in the rail profile; this might be useful for weight compensation
(e.g., when attaching heavy accessories).
To prevent the unit from sliding off the rail and dropping down, the provided M6
screw is to be inserted into the provided thread hole on the rear end of the rail.
Attachment and removal of the glass dome before operating flash heads
The glass dome must be attached or removed only when the flash head unit is
disconnected from the power pack which had been switched-off before. Always
ensure that the flash tube and modeling lamp remain intact and undamaged!
The protective glass dome is fixed to the four pre-mounted springs. The best procedure for
mounting and dismounting is to place the flash unit vertically on a solid surface. Then put
the glass dome carefully over the flash tube, and push it down firmly with gentle pressure
until the glass dome snaps audibly into the springs. For dismounting hold the glass dome
firmly with both hands. Then tilt it slightly so that it disengages from the mounting springs
and pull the glass dome straight off.
Mounting of accessories to flash heads
Light modifiers (reflector, soft box, umbrella, etc.) are to be mounted to flash heads before
the units are put into operation. Accordingly, the power pack must always be switched off
and the flash head disconnected from the power pack before the light modifier is changed.
After longer periods of operation the flash head and the attached accessories
(particularly reflectors) can become very hot. To avoid burns upon contact, you
should use suitable heat guards when handling the equipment or wait until it has
cooled down. Due to the heat build-up, power pack and flash head must not be
operated in the vicinity of flammable objects. Sufficient safety clearance with regard
to decoration for photographic purposes must be ensured.
Connection of reflectors to flash heads
To attach reflectors the clamps are put into open position by pressing the reflector lever
against the spring force until it hits the stop and keep it there. Now place the accessory
evenly and flush to the unit (for accessories with Bowens S-type adapter, place the three
flanges of the accessory that they fit into the corresponding recesses). Do not tilt the
accessory during this process. Then return the lever to its initial position moving with the
spring force to lock the accessory into place. To remove the accessory, hold it firmly
(caution - it could be very hot!), press the lever against the spring force to unlock it and
remove the accessory.
