3 General safety rules and information

Compact flash systems store electrical energy in

capacitors that are charged to high voltage potentials.

Because there is a significant risk of electric shock in

handling flash units in general, safe working practices, in

addition to common sense, must be applied to reduce this

risk. The following safety instructions must be strictly

observed. Therefore read and comply with the safety hints

(also see the paragraph Starting up) within the user

manual prior to turning the flash unit on. Please consult us

if you have questions, or if you have any doubts per-

taining to the safe operation of this equipment.

This compact flash unit is meant for studio use by pro-

fessional photographers and for industrial applications. Its

task is to provide the electric energy for the production of

light via flash discharges.

This equipment may not be used for any other purposes

other than that described above.

Halogen lamps and flash tubes can burst during

operation under adverse conditions. Therefore, this

flash unit may only be used with a properly installed

Hensel protection glass dome. If this protection dome

should show any defects or damages, it must be

replaced immediately. It can be ordered from Hensel-

Visit or any authorized Hensel distributor.

Your Speed Max flash unit comes equipped with a

clear glass protection dome. It must be fitted at all

times during operation for the protection of persons

and objects.

The changing of the flashtube and modeling lamp

must only be executed with the flash unit turned off,

unplugged from the mains, and completely dis-

charged.

The quartz (silica glass) flash tube of the Speed Max

is specifically matched to the operating conditions

Proper use

Improper use

and requirements of this flash unit. Although flash

tubes of other flash units may physically fit, only the

specific Speed Max flash tubes may be used on that

unit. The use of flash tubes other than the originals

may result in ruining the flash tube and damaging

the flash unit, hurting persons, not mentioning the

inevitable loss of warranty, besides.

The Speed Max must only be used on supply lines

(mains) that have an intact protective ground

conductor (earth line).

If possible, do not route cables across the studio

floor to prevent damaging them. They also

constitute a source of danger because persons may

trip over them. If routing across the studio floor is

the only feasible way, it must be ensured that

persons, vehicles, etc. do not run across them.

Damaged cables must be replaced immediately.

The ventilation slots of the Speed Max must be kept

unobstructed and there must be a sufficient air

supply during operation. Do not stick any objects

into ventilation slots or synch sockets. The flash unit

must not be used as a place of deposit for tools,

drinks or other objects.

This Speed Max flash unit must not be used in

environments that constitute an explosion hazard.

Flammable materials, like furnishing fabrics, paper,

etc. must not be stored in the immediate vicinity of

the flash unit in order to prevent fire hazards. Please

observe the required safety spacing of 0.5 m

minimum.

User manual // Speed Max

The Speed Max must be protected against humidity,

spray water and rain.

When operating the unit close to water e.g. a

swimming pool, it is very important to prevent

the unit from falling into the pool because that

would create an extremely dangerous situation

in which the life of all persons in the pool is at

stake! This must be observed unconditionally

when working close to water!

Do not use any third party accessories on this unit,

even if they look the same or a vendor is claiming

compatibility. Only by using the original parts and

accessories is it ensured that the flash unit is ful-

filling its dedicated task in a safe and reliable way.

The flash unit must be doubly secured by means of

an additional steel safety cable if it is to be used on

a ceiling system, hanging from a pantograph or

other fixture.

Do not point the flash directly into the eyes of

persons at distances less than 2 m, and do not look

straight into the flash reflector, because this can

lead to eye damage if a flash should be triggered

inadvertently.

Consequently, the flash unit must be turned off

before exchanging light formers. If the protection

dome and the surrounding areas are very hot, the

flash unit should be given a chance to cool down to

a safe temperature.

The working area must be properly ventilated and

aired regularly to prevent inadmissible ozone con-

centrations that can occur when using high-powered

flash systems.

The flash unit must be protected against dust at all

times. If there is dust emission prevalent in the working

area, the flash units not in operation should be

protected by a suitable cover. However, this cover

must be taken off before putting the unit in operation.
