Important safety InstructIons
broncolor flash light systems should be utilised exclusively for professional photo shootings by
qualified personnel. Before starting up your flash light equipment carefully read all the informa-
tion in your operating instructions. The safety instructions in the operating instructions must be
strictly followed!
>
Read and understand all instructions before using!
> Remove the transport protection and the packing material!
>
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Do not leave the flash
light appliance unattended while in use!
>
Flash light contains, similar to sunlight, a specific portion of UV radiation! The undesirable side
effects on skin and eyes are considerably reduced by using flash tubes or protecting glasses with
UV safety measures! Nevertheless, taking pictures at close distances with unprotected skin and
eyes should be avoided! Also avoid eye contact with the light source! The maximum daily UV radi-
ation according to IEC 60335-2-27 / DIN 5031-10 is: 50 J/m2. This value should not be exceeded!
>
With due allowance for heat radiation, the distance between the lamp and a person or between the
lamp and inflammable or heat sensitive surfaces should be at a minimum distance of 1 m!
>
The power pack must be switched off to plug-in and to unplug! The lamp plugs and sockets have
mechanical interlocks! When plugging in, ensure that those interlocks engage completely! To
unplug, push down the locking spring below the cable guide and lift out the plug from the socket!
>
Prior to replacing flash tubes, halogen lamps, protecting glasses or fuses, disconnect the power
pack and the lamp from the power supply! Prior to replacing the halogen lamp or the flash tube,
the lamp should cool down for 10 min.!
>
broncolor flash light systems should only be equipped with original broncolor flash tubes, original
broncolor combustible and packing material, original broncolor accessories, and also original
broncolor spare parts!
>
broncolor power packs, lamps and accessories meet an extremely high safety standard! When
connecting broncolor lamps to power packs of other brands or broncolor power packs to lamp
bases or accessories of other brands, integrated safety measures may become ineffective! Due
to different design features and contact assignment of the lamp plugs of other brands, the user
himself/herself may even be at risk. We offer no guarantee and accept no liability for damages
which may be caused by this type of usage!
>
Only lamps which are approved for operation with this power pack should be utilised!
>
Only earthed extension cables which are approved for operation with the corresponding lamp
should be utilised!
>
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons utilise exclusively the accessory recom-
mended by the manufacturer!
>
Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the information on the type plate of the unit!
>
The flash light equipment is designed for use in dry conditions and in an ambient temperature
from 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F)! The flash light equipment has to be protected from wetness, con-
densation, from dripping and splash water, humidity, dirt, sand, metal chips and exposure to dust!
