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) within the user manual before turning the appliance on.
The present power pack is meant for studio use of professional
photographers. Its task is to provide electrical energy for certain
fixed types of HENSEL flash lamps.
The appliance must not be used for any other purpose than that
described above, especially not for other electrical appliances.
Contact with the capacitor voltage is perilous. Thus
opening of the housing of VELA AS power pack and
repairs must only be made by authorized customer service.
