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.
Do not attempt to modify any Westcott products. Contact Westcott for assistance.
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.
