• Transport only in complete discharged conditions. Wait a minimum of 30 minutes after
disconnecting from the mains supply before packaging and transportation.
• Never drop the ash unit (danger of ashtube breakage)
Power cable
To guarantee safe operation, use the cable supplied.
• The cable has to be HAR-certied or VDE-certied. The mark HAR or VDE will appear on the
outer sheath.
• The cable set must be selected according to the rated current for your ash unit.
• Do not use a multiple adapter to connect one or more ash units per single mains socket.
• Flash systems store electrical energy in capacitors by applying high voltage.
• For your safety, never open or disassemble your ashes.
• Only an authorised service engineer should open or attempt to repair the units.
• Internal defect charge capacitors may explode whilst the unit is in use, never
switch on a working flash unit, once it has been found to be faulty.
• Do not connect on the ash unit to mains supply without mounted modelling
lamp or flash tube due to high voltage at the contacts!
Life Danger!
According to safety regulations, we draw your attention to the fact that these
electronic flash units are not designed for use outdoors, in damp or dusty conditions and should
not be used after being exposed to sudden temperature changes causing condensation. They
must always be connected to an earthed (grounded) mains supply.
On no account should any object be inserted into the ventilation holes.
The units may retain an internal charge for a considerable time even though disconnected from
the power supply.
• Do not use without permission in restricted areas (like hospitals, etc.).
• Do not use in explosive environnements.
• Flash tubes and modelling lamps in use are very hot!
• Never touch a ash tube or lamp before the unit has cooled down and is disconnected from
the mains (min 30mn).
• Do not re ashes from short distance (less than 1m) directed at a person and avoid looking
directly into the flashlight!
• Keep a min. 1m distance from any ammable materials.
