REPLACING EINSTEIN
™
COMPONENTS
Certain components arriving with the Einstein™ ash unit are
consumable and will require replacement based on normal use.
All Paul C. Buff™ replacement components are sold separately.
Visit
our website (www.paulcbuff.com) to learn more.
Flashtube: The user-replaceable ashtube that arrives with the
unit is a 12mm single-ring, UV-coated tube (daylight-balanced
at 5600º K). This tube has a 200,000+ ash lifespan, dependent
upon power levels and frequency of shooting. For future re-
placement needs, the part number is MAXFT12MMUV (www.
paulcbuff.com/ashtubes.php). Do NOT use any other tube.
Modeling Lamp: The user-replaceable modeling lamp that arrives
with the Einstein™ unit is a bayonet-style 250 Watt modeling
lamp, also having a lifespan dependent upon power levels and
frequency of use. For future replacement needs, the modeling
lamp part number is JD250W (available on our website at www.
paulcbuff.com/modelinglamps.php). We additionally offer a
lower-wattage 150 Watt modeling lamp (part # QL150) and a
lower-wattage 25 Watt modeling lamp (part # 25W) for use in
the Einstein™ unit. When using the Vagabond Mini™ Lithium
system, as the system cannot power the supplied 250 Watt
modeling lamp, we offer the 25 Watt lamp that may be used for
brief modeling previews.
Note:
Never handle ashtubes or lamps
with your bare hands. Wear gloves or use a clean, dry cloth or
paper towel to avoid contamination by skin oils.
Fuse: The user-replaceable fuse holder (located on the back
panel of the unit) takes an SR5-F type 8A fuse. Each unit arrives
with this fuse in place on the unit and an additional back-up fuse
is provided. If further fuse replacement becomes necessary,
additional fuses may be purchased at electronic suppliers such
as Digi-Key (www.digikey.com, see part # WK6240-ND).
Note:
If you nd that the fuse requires replacement multiple times,
contact us as there may be a problem.
Should you misplace any other system components, we offer
replacements for the power cord (part # UPC15), sync cord
(part # ABSC), frosted dome (part # 1060836), and shipping
cover (part # 1060203). Contact us for assistance.
