                    3     Generalsafety regulations

                           Compact flash systems store electrical energy in capacitors
                             by applying high voltages. These form a source of danger,
                              which must be carefully excluded. Besides general rules on
                                handling  electrical  appliances,  the   following  safety
                           measurementsmust be obserued.Therefore read and comply
                                  the safety hints (also see the paragraph Stanrn@)  wiifiiri-lhEre                 user manualbeforetumingthe applianceon.3
    Properuse              The present compact flash unit is meant for studio use of
                                 professional photographers. lts task is to provide electrical
                             energyfor HENSELflash lighting.

                                appliances.

                            Halogen lamps and flashtubes generate hlgh pressure
                                during  operation and can thereforc explode. For this
                               leason  it is a must to protect pilot and flashlight with thet                              supplied  correctly  installed HENSEL protection  glass
                           dome. The glass dome is available in differcnt versions.

                          o  Contact with the capacitor voltage is perilous, and therefore
                             opening of the case of EXPERT / INTEGHA PRO compact
                                   flash units and repairs must only be made by authorized
                             customer seruice.

                       EXPERT / INTEGRA PRO compact flash units are equipped
                                  with a user replaceableflashtube. Exchange of flashtube and
                             modeling lamp must only be performed with the appliance
                               turned off, unpluggedfrom the mains and discharged.
                          Gompact flashes must only used on supply lines (mains) with
                            wod<ingprotectiveconductor(earth line).
                        Do not route cables across the studio floor if possible,so that
                         damage is excluded. lf routing across the studio floor cannot
                            be omitted,then it must be ensuredthat vehicles,ladders,etc.
                            do not damage cables. Damaged cables and cases must be
                               immediatelyreplacedby customerseruice.

                             Ventilationslots of compact flashes must be kept free during
                           operation and sutficient air supply must be ensured. Do not
                               stick any objects into ventilation slots or synchronization
                            sockets. Do not deposit any objects (tools, coffee cups, etc.)
                        on the flash unit.
                          Flash systems must not be used in environments with
                           expfosion hazard. Flammable materials, like fumishing
                               fabrics, paper, etc. must not be stored in the immediate
                                 vicinityof compactflash units to preventfire hazards.
                       Compact flash units must be protected against humidity and -F
    J                     spray water.
                     Do not connect accessoriesfrom other manufacturers,even if
                           they use the same or similarconnectors.
                          Flash units - hanging from pantographsor ceiling - must be
                          doubly secured againstfalling down.
                     Do not flash into eyes at short distances (smaller than 5 m),
                        because this can lead to eye damage. Do not look directlyinto
                            the  flash  reflector; the  flash lamp could be  triggered
                              inadveftently.

                        ozone concentrations,which can occur due to the use of high-
                        powered flash systems.

                7     StartingUp

                          Safety hints for operation with compact  flash units
                     To avoid damage to the flashtube mount reflectorsand light-
                        formers (softboxesetc.) before use and turning on the unit. Do
                         not move compact flashes around, while they are operating.
                       Turn off the appliance for each change of reflectorsor to move
                         the unit to anotherlocation.

                         Caution:
                            Reflectors, speedrings and other accessories heat up during
                           longer operation. To avoid injuries, handle with isolating cloth
                            or wait, till pafts cooled down.

                   A damaged flashtube  is extrcmely dangerous because
                         the  electrically charged  electrodes are exposed and
                        touching must be avoided; the unit must be switched off
                     and d!@!gd      from the mains outlet immediately. The
                         capacitors inside may  still be charged and dangerous
                        high voltage can still be present at the damaged flashtube
                        electrodes (Replacement see page 39, Maintenance).

                      Assembly
                  When mounting to  a  ceiling system or a  pantograph,
                     suspended compact flash has to be double secured from
                              falling down or dropping.This is done by tighteningthe safety
                      screw (not includedin the standarddelivery)into the thread of
                        the HENSELTiltingHead.
                    Due  to  the  existing   safety regulations,  it  is, however,
                       necessary to use a safety rope (Code No. 769) for fufther
                           security.
                     The safety rope has to be led through the handle of the
                     compact flash and then secured by looping through the
                         bracket on the pantograph or the eyelet on the carriage.


                       Heatino
                   Due to the modeling lamp and flashlight,each compact flash
                            unit emits heat. This can heat up the parts of the unit to a
                      dangerouslevel.
                        Thereforemake sure, that the flash unit is locatedfar enough
                       from inflammableprops to avoid inflamingthem.

                            ventilation slots of compact flash units are kept free.
                   Do not operateflash units unattended.
                     The modeling light should never be used for lighting up the
                          studio but only as an assistancewhen focusingor determining
                         the light guidingand shadow detailsof the flash.

                          Accllmatlzlng
                   When moving the flash unit from one climatic zone to the next,
                         the appliance should stand in the room, in which it will be
                         operated, for some time before starting it up. This prevents
                          possiblesudace leakagecurrentsdue to condensingwater.

                           Positlonlng
                  EXPERT / INTEGRA PRO compact flash units come with a
                               Tilting Head. The  unit can be attached to a  stand or
                        pantographsusing one of the two holes and safely secured by
                         fasteningthe lockingscrew 19. The angle of inclinationcan be
                        adjustedusing the wing nut 20. ln the hole above the wing nut
                      an umbrella can be insefied and fastened using the clamping
                      screw 18. To hold even heavy loads it is advisableto find a
                    new optimal positionfor the Tilting Head within the gliding rail.
                        For doing this unscrew the Phillips screw 17 and slide the
                              Tilting Head within the rail until the weight is balanced and
                               finally tighten the screw. An additional valuable feature for
                        handling heavy weights is the pre-frictionthat ensures a
                        decelerated and smooth movement of the Tilting Head.   lf
                         requiredthe friction can be varied by turning the hexagon nut
                      16 to the left or to the right. The features 16 and 17 are only
                          availablefor the respectivePLUS versions.

                          Fixing of the glass dome
                              Atteniion:
                      The glass dome should only be fixed or removed after having
                          switched  off the unit and unplugged from the mains outlet.
                         Please take care not to damage either the flashtube or the
                         modeling lamp (danger!).
                     The glass dome is fixed by means of the three pre-mounted
                          springs. For doing this, please slightlytilt the glass dome and
                             inseft it into one of the three springs. Then press the glass
                   dome gently into the other two springs until it has completely
                          clicked in.

                        charge as well as readiness to flash. The flash check mode
                        guaranteesthat the flash heads have triggeredwhen more than
                      one flash unit is used.
