ructed to ensure proper ventilation.

Generators, compact flash units and flash heads
ATTENTION!
Defective ash tubes and false handling can pose a mortal
danger.
A damaged ash tube can mean mortal danger because you
could come in contact with the electrodes conducting high vol-
tage. Therefore, never touch exposed electrodes inside the ash
tube!
Before replacing ash tubes or modeling lights, the unit must
be switched off and disconnected from the power supply or
the generator. Even when the unit is switched off and properly
disconnected from the power supply, the capacitor could still be
highly charged in case of a malfunction. This means touching
the device could pose a life-threatening danger.
Halogen lamps and ash tubes may burst and must only be
operated with properly mounted Hensel safety dome.
ATTENTION!
Contact with capacitor voltage can pose mortal danger.
Opening the housing or repairs of the unit must only be done by
an authorized customer service provider.
Working with the equipment
• Do not ash into eyes at short distances since this may lead
to eye damage.
• Do not look directly into the ash tube or the reector. The
ash could be triggered accidentally.
• Regularly air closed rooms to prevent build-up of inadmissi-
ble ozone concentrations which can occur due to the use of
high-powered ash systems.
• Cover the equipment which is not in use with a proper dust
guard when working in a dusty environment.
