HENSEL Studiotechnik 9
A damaged flashtube is extremely dangerous because
the electrically charged electrodes are exposed and
touching must be avoided; the unit must be switched off
and disconnected
from the mains outlet immediately. The
capacitors inside may still be charged and dangerous
high voltage can still be present at the damaged flashtube
electrodes (Replacement see page 15, Maintenance).
Assembly
When mounting to a ceiling system or a pantograph,
suspended compact flash has to be double secured from
falling down or dropping. 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 safety rope (code no. 769) for further
security.
The safety rope has to be led through the handle of the
compact flash and then secured by looping through the
bracket on the pantograph or the eyelet on the carriage.
Heating
Due to the modeling and flash light, each compact flash unit
emits heat. This can heat up the parts of the unit to a
dangerous level.
Therefore make sure, that the flash unit is located far enough
from inflammable props to avoid inflaming them.
Take care for sufficient air supply and make sure that
ventilation slots of compact flash units are kept free.
Do not operate flash units unattended.
The modeling light should never be used for lighting up the
studio but only as an assistance when focusing or determining
the light guiding and shadow details of the flash.
Acclimatizing
When moving the flash unit from one climatic zone to the next,
the appliance should stand in the room, in which it will be
operated, for some time before starting it up. This prevents
possible surface leakage currents due to condensing water.
