WARNING
Danger of crashing, crushing, burning, and fire due to device toppling over
The weight of the device is, depending on the model (VE-150 to VE-400), up
to 2.5kg. The modeling lamp, flash tube and reflector can heat up to 240°C.
Ensure that the device is always kept in a tilt- and skid-resistant position
and stored securely.
Keep out of reach of children and animals. They could knock over the
device.
Avoid placing cables where they could be tripped over. The device could
be knocked over.
WARNING
Danger of electric shock, burn hazard
Please note that the device is still connected to the supply voltage when it is
switched off. Only when you disconnect the device from the supply voltage
by unplugging the power cord, it is really de-energized.
Switch off the device when it is not in use.
Switch off the device before assembly and maintenance and disconnect
from power supply by unplugging the power cord.
Discharge the device before maintenance measures.
Protect your device against accidental power-on.
Cut off voltage supply when not in use for a longer period of time by
unplugging the power cord.
WARNING
Danger of electric shock, fire through short-circuit
A short circuit could be caused by defective cables and due to moisture or
wetness. A short circuit can heat up the conductors resulting in the melting of
their insulation or the conductors themselves. This could lead to fire.
Please use exclusively the original cables, which are provided with the
device. They are tuned for your device and guarantee the necessary safety
for you and your device.
Do not operate the device with wet hands or feet.
Only use the device in dry rooms.
Do not use the device outdoors.
Clean the device exclusively as described in this instruction manual.
Ensure that cables and conductors are not damaged. Damage could be
caused due to heat impact, chemical influence or due to mechanical
impacts such as rubbing, bending, tearing, rolling over, or nibbling
animals.
Prevent your device from falling.
In the case of falling, please have an electrician check the device before
switching it on again.
If your device is damaged or if you notice a burning smell:
Disconnect the power supply immediately by unplugging the power cord
and setting the on/off switch to 0 (OFF). Never operate your device with a
damaged casing, defective lamps or a damaged power cord. Do not open
the device. Never repair the device on your own. Have the device repaired
exclusively by an electrician.
Please follow this instruction manual for maintaining your device.
Please only use spare parts which are conform to the required
specifications. See Technical specifications.

WARNING
Danger of fire by overheating
The device can overheat if you operate it with mounted protection cap or
with covered ventilation slots. The device itself or easily inflammable
materials in close distance could catch fire.
Do not operate the device with mounted protection cap.
Do not cover the ventilation slots of the device during operation.
Remove easily inflammable materials from the surroundings of the
device.
Please just use spare parts, which are conform to the required
specifications. See Technical Specifications.
WARNING
Danger of fire due to hot device components
The modeling lamp and flash tube could heat up to 240°C, the reflector up to
75°C and the flash housing up to 45°C. Easily inflammable materials could
catch fire, if they get in contact with hot device components.
Do not cover the ventilation slots of the device during operation.
Remove easily inflammable materials from the surroundings of the
device.
WARNING
Danger of burning on hot device components
The modeling lamp and flash tube could heat up up to 240°C, the reflector up
to 75°C and the flash housing up to 45°C.

phase.
Allow for device to cool down completely before beginning assembly or
maintenance measures.
WARNING
Danger of cutting and splitting due to breaking modeling lamp or breaking
or bursting flash tube
Even small residues of skin oil on the flash tubes can lead to the splitting of
the lamp, due to the high heat impact during operation. Broken glass can
hurt eyes and skin.
Treat the modeling lamp and flash tube carefully to avoid them from
breaking.
Do not touch the flash tube with bare hands. Only touch the flash tube at
the plastic socket or with a clean cloth or with clean gloves.

with high flash output can overheat and damage the device.
Heat accumulation can be the result when using small, narrow reflectors (e.g.
snoots) or grid reflectors at high power with the device pointing downward.
Continuous increasing and decreasing of the flash output can heat up the
device additionally.
Avoid continuous rapid sequences of flashes of more than 8 flashes per
minute with high flash output.
Do not use the device in vertical direction, when triggering rapid flash
sequences and high flash output with a small, narrow reflector or grid
reflector.
Do not increase and decrease the output unnecessarily.

minutes.
Do not trigger more than 8 flashes per minute over a period of 60
minutes.
In the cases mentioned above, let the device cool down for at least 15
minutes.
Do not switch off the device during the 15 minutes cooling period as
to avoid interrupting the cooling process.
oDo not trigger a flash during the 15 minutes cooling period –not even
with reduced flash output.
oSwitch off the modeling lamp.
See Switch the modeling lamp on and off.
When the overheating and overloading warning indicator beeps:
Reduce the flash output or flash sequence.
If the continuous beep does not stop:
Let the device cool down for at least 30 minutes:
