FJ200 Strobe: Warnings
Caution
● IMPORTANT: During operation, the flash tube, LED modeling lamp, and select components of the
FJ200 strobe temperatures will increase. Please use caution while using to avoid serious burns
or injuries.
● Use only with the Westcott FJ200 Lithium Polymer Battery and/or AC Power Adapter and Cord.
● Do not touch the flash tube, LED modeling lamp, metal reflector, metal snoot, and other metal
components and accessories after immediate use to avoid potential injury.
● Never leave unattended around children and/or pets.
● Keep away from fire, water, and moisture.
● Do not submerge in water.
● Avoid drastic temperature changes before, during, or after use.
● Avoid direct skin contact with the flash tube and LED modeling lamp when replacing the flash
tube.
● Always remove the FJ200 Lithium Polymer Battery from the FJ200 Strobe during travel/storage
to avoid accidental operation which could lead to overheating or permanent damage.
● Do not overtighten the tilter bracket tension knob.
● Ensure the FJ200 is securely mounted before use.
● Only use FJ200 compatible modifiers and accessories and ensure they are securely attached to
the FJ200 Strobe before use.

● The operating temperature range is 14-104°F (-10-40°C).
Dual-Stage Heat Protection System
The FJ200 is equipped with a self-monitoring system ensuring safe operation during continued
full-power use during a short timeframe. The monitoring system provides a staged automatic shutoff
scenario;
● Stage 1: Once the strobe reaches an internal operating temperature of 131°F (55°C) the screen will
display a red [Bulb Icon] and the recycle time will increase to 2 seconds in effort to cool the unit
while allowing for further operation.
● Stage 2: Once the strobe reaches an internal operating temperature of 167°F (75°C) the screen
will display a red [OH] icon and the unit will be inoperable for an estimated 10 minutes until an
adequate internal temperature has been reached to continue operation.
● Once the unit has cooled, the [OH] will disappear from the screen and it will then be safe to
continue operation.
