Starting up

Safety hints for operation with flash heads
To avoid damage to the flash tube, mount reflectors and
lightformers (softboxes, etc.) before use and turning on
the unit. Do not move lamp heads around while they are
operating. Turn flash head and power pack off for each
change of reflectors or to move the lamp head to another
location.
Caution: reflectors, speedrings and other accessories
heat up during longer operation. To avoid injuries, handle
with isolating cloth or wait until parts have cooled down.
A damaged flash tube is extremely dangerous
because the electrically charged electrodes are
exposed and could be touched. In case of a damaged
flash tube, the power pack must be switched off and
unplugged from the generator immediately. If the
power pack and the flash head are not separated
from each other, the capacitors inside the generator
may still be charged and dangerous high voltage can
still be present at the damaged flash tube electrodes
of the flash head. The EH Pro Mini heads are
equipped with a user-replaceable flash tube. In case
of an exchange the safety regulations must be
strictly adhered to. For replacement, please refer to
page 33, Maintenance.
Assembly
When mounting to a ceiling system or a pantograph, the
suspended head has to be double secured from falling
down. This is done by tightening the safety screw (not
included in the standard delivery) into the thread of the
HENSEL tilting head.
Due to the existing safety regulations, it is, however,
necessary to use a steel cord (Code No. 769) for further
security.
The safety rope has to be led through the handle on the
back of the unit, which then has to be fastened on a
suitable part of the boom or the rail system.
