Basic Safety Instructions

Safety Hints Pertaining to Emitted Optical Radiation

Electrical power is changed inside the flash tube to intensive optical

radiation:

Do not flash directly into eyes from a short distance because the

emitted intensive optical radiation can cause eye and skin damage.

Do not look directly into flash reflector; the flash may be

accidentally triggered.

In case of damage to skin or eyes caused by intensive optical

radiation consult a physician immediately.

Working in Potentially Explosive Rooms

Working in potentially explosive rooms and environments is prohibited

because small sparks develop upon triggering the flash.

Never work in potentially explosive environments.

Do not work near flammable material.

Do not store flammable material in direct vicinity of flash generators

and flash lamps to avoid fire hazards.

Ozone Formation

Closed rooms must be ventilated frequently to prevent excessive ozone

formation which can result from to the use of strong flash units.

Protecting Equipment from Moisture and Splash Water

Flash units need to be protected from high humidity, moisture, wetness

and splash water. Therefore, please do not place containers with liquids

on the flash units.

Take care that neither the flash unit nor the flash or mains cable is lying

on a wet floor.

Connecting Accessories

Do not connect accessories from other manufacturers, even if these look

similar or identical.

Not in Use During Dust Development

Equipment that is not in use when doing work that results in strong dust

development needs to be covered with suitable dust protection.

Safety Hints Pertaining to the Electrical System

Contact with the flash generator’s capacitor voltage is life threatening.

Therefore, opening the housing and repairs may only be done by

authorized customer service personnel:

Never open the device –high voltage, risk of death!

The unit may only be connected to a power supply with working

equipment grounding conductor.

Use only lamp plugs with flawless contacts. Burned down or

corroded plug contacts may cause a fire.

Defective plugs may lead to defective plug sockets.

To prevent damages, avoid leading cables across floors. If this

cannot be avoided, make sure that the cable is not damaged by

vehicles, ladders, etc. Damaged cables and housings need to be

replaced immediately by authorized customer service personnel.

Explosion of Flash Tube

The flash tube is filled with xenon gas. There is negative pressure inside

the flash tube. Plasma develops during flashing due to electrical energy

being changed to radiation. This plasma development then causes

positive pressure inside the flash tube. At the same time, the glass tube is

exposed to strong mechanical forces. Minimal defects of the fused quartz

glass, visually impossible to notice, may possibly lead to the explosion of

the flash tube.

In case the flash tube explodes, there is a danger of tiny glass

particles flying around. The user of this equipment needs to make

sure to protect himself by the use a safety glass dome.

The flash tube can only explode during the flash process.

Therefore, the flash head should never be directed at a person

during flashing.

Immediately disconnect the flash head from the generator if the

flash tube becomes damaged. Electrodes carry high voltage!

Flash tubes must only be changed by authorized and trained

personnel.

The flash tube must only be changed after the device is

disconnected from the power supply and is completely discharged.

Risk of Burns from Reflector and Flash Unit

After flashing there is a risk of burns caused by the reflector and the flash

unit due to hot parts on the housing or infrared heat radiation.
