3 General safety regulations
Compact flash systems 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
measurements 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 compact flash unit is meant for studio use of
professional photographers. Its task is to provide electrical
energy for HENSEL flash lighting.
The appliance must not be used for any other purpose than
that described above, especially not for other electrical
appliances.
Halogen lamps and flashtubes generate high pressure
during operation and can therefore explode. For this
reason it is a must to protect pilot and flash light with the
supplied correctly installed HENSEL protection glass
dome. The glass dome is available in different versions.
The use of the glass dome changes the colour
temperature.
• Contact with the capacitor voltage is perilous, and
therefore opening of the case of the INTEGRA compact
flash unit and repairs must only be made by authorized
customer service.
• INTEGRA compact flash units are equipped with a user
replaceable flashtube. Exchange of flashtube and
modeling lamp must only be performed with the appliance
turned off, unplugged from the mains and discharged.
• Compact flashes must only used on supply lines (mains)
with working protective conductor (earth line).
• 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
cases must be immediately replaced by customer service.
