IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before you use your flash equipment for the first time, please read all the information contained
in these operating instructions carefully. The safety instructions they contain must be strictly
followed!
> Make sure you are thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions!
> Remove all transport protection and packing materials!
> Take special care of your equipment, particularly when there are children present! Never leave
flash equipment unattended!
> Like sunlight, flash light contains a certain amount of UV radiation! Using flash tubes or wear-
ing glasses that provide UV protection considerably reduces the undesirable side effects on skin
and eyes! Nevertheless, when taking pictures at close range, avoid exposing unprotected skin
and eyes to flashes! Eye contact with the light source should also be avoided! The maximum
daily exposure to UV radiation according to IEC 60335– 2– 27/DIN 5031–10 is 50 J/m2. This
value must not be exceeded.
> The distance between a lamp and a person or a lamp and an inflammable or heat-sensitive surface
must be at least 1 m to prevent injury or damage from thermal radiation!
> Always switch off the monolight before replacing a flash tube, halogen lamp, safety glass or fuse.
Allow at least 10 minutes for cooling before replacing a halogen lamp or the flash tube!
> broncolor flash systems should only be used with original broncolor flash tubes, original broncolor
bulbs and fuses, original broncolor accessories, and original broncolor spare parts.
> broncolor monolights and accessories comply with extremely high safety standards! However, if
equipment from other manufacturers is used with broncolor monolights, the built-in safety meas-
ures may be rendered ineffective. Our guarantee is invalidated by the use of such unauthorised
combinations and we accept no liability for damage arising from such use.
> To minimise the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, use exclusively accessories
recommended by the manufacturer!
> Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the information on the type plate!
>
The flash equipment is designed for use in dry conditions and in an ambient temperature between
–10°C and 45° C. Protect the flash equipment from moisture, condensation, from dripping and
splash water, humidity, dirt, sand, metal chips and the effects of dust!
> Protect flash equipment from electromagnetic fields, shock and vibration!
> Protect flash equipment from heat and frost! If the monolight is exposed to sub-zero tempera-
tures, a permanent loss of power output and serious technical damage may result!
