BEFORE YOU START

GENERAL USER SAFETY INFORMATION

• Flash units are powerful light sources. Please be aware of

the danger, or inconvenience, that they may present to some

persons and children.

• Keep ﬂash units out of reach of unauthorised persons

whenever possible.

• Keep ﬂash units away from children!

• According to safety regulations, we draw your attention

to the fact that electronic ﬂash units are not designed

for extreme outdoor use, in damp or dusty conditions

and should not be used after being exposed to sudden

temperature changes causing condensation. The humidity

protection conforms to the norms of IP20.

• Do not use without permission in restricted areas (such as

hospitals, laboratories etc.).

• Do not use near ﬂammable / explosive material. Keep

minimum 1m or more distance to any object.

• Never ﬂash into the eyes of a subject without warning. Close

use, may affect eyesight.

• The ambient temperature whilst the unit is in use: min. -20°C

(-4°F) up to max. 35°C (95°F). Storage temperature: -10°C up

to 60°C, optimal charging temperature: 0°C up to 45°C.

• There is high voltage and there can be high currents, so

please apply all the usual safety precautions when handling

the unit.

• Do not connect the ﬂash head to to the pack without a

mounted and working ﬂashtube due to high voltage at the

exposed terminals!

• Flash systems store electrical energy in capacitors by

applying high voltage.

• The units may retain an internal charge for a considerable

time even though disconnected from the battery. Internal

defective charge capacitors may explode whilst the unit is in

use, so never switch on a ﬂash unit, once it has been found

to be faulty.

• For your safety, never open or disassemble your ﬂashes.

Only an authorized service engineer should open or attempt

to repair this unit.

• Always switch off the ﬂash unit before changing accessories.

• The unit, the ﬂashtube and accessories may become very

hot during and after use! To avoid injuries, handle with an

insulating cloth or wait until parts have cooled down. Avoid

direct sunlight, which might heat up the ﬂash unit and affect

the photocell efﬁciency. Protect the ﬂash unit when used in

humid conditions, but ensure ventilation for cooling!

• On no account should any object be inserted into the

ventilation holes.

• Use only original Elinchrom Accessories. Damaged cables,

glass domes and cases must be immediately replaced by

customer service.

seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain light patterns or

ﬂashing lights. These conditions may trigger previously undetected

epileptic symptoms or seizures in persons who have no history of

prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an

epileptic condition or has had seizures of any kind, consult your
