General safety regulations

Power packs store electrical energy in capacitors by applying
high voltages. These form a source of danger, which must be
carefully excluded. Besides general rules on handling electrical
appliances, the following safety measures must be observed.
Therefore read and comply the safety hints (also see the
paragraph Starting up) given in the user manual before turning
the appliance on.
The PORTY Lithium power pack is meant for studio and
outdoor use by professional photographers. Its task is to
provide electrical energy for certain fixed types of HENSEL
flash lamps.
The HENSEL Strobe Wizard Plus Transmitter is used for
triggering flashes and adjusting the flash power of special
HENSEL flash units with built-in receiver via radio signal.
Power pack and radio control unit must not be used for any
other purposes than that described above, especially not for
other electrical appliances.
Contact with the capacitor voltage is perilous, and
therefore opening of the case of PORTY power pack and
repairs must only be made by authorized customer service.
•
Flashtubes must only be exchanged by authorized trained
personal. Exchange of flashtube and modeling lamp must
only be performed with the appliance turned off, unplugged
from the mains and discharged.
•
Only lamp connectors with immaculate contacts must be
used, burned or corroded contacts may cause explosions in
the area of connectors and lamp sockets.
•
Do not route cables across the studio floor if possible, so
that damage is excluded. If routing across the studio floor
cannot be omitted, then it must be ensured that vehicles,
ladders, etc do not damage cables. Damaged cables and
housings must be immediately replaced by customer
service.
•
Ventilation slots of power packs must be kept free during
operation and sufficient air supply must be ensured. Do not
stick any objects into ventilation slots, lamp sockets or
synchronization sockets.
Do not deposit any objects (tools, coffee cups, etc.) on the
power pack.
•
Flash systems must not be used in environments with
explosion hazard. Flammable materials, like furnishing
fabrics, paper, etc. must not be stored in the immediate
vicinity of generators and flash lamps to prevent fire
hazards.
