Basic Safety Instructions
Safety Hints Pertaining to Emitted Optical Radiation
Electrical power is changed inside the flash tube to intensive optical
radiation:
Do not flash directly into eyes from a short distance because the
emitted intensive optical radiation can cause eye and skin damage.
Do not look directly into flash reflector; the flash may be
accidentally triggered.
In case of damage to skin or eyes caused by intensive optical
radiation consult a physician immediately.
Working in Potentially Explosive Rooms
Working in potentially explosive rooms and environments is prohibited
because small sparks develop upon triggering the flash.
Never work in potentially explosive environments.
Do not work near flammable material.
Do not store flammable material in direct vicinity of flash generators
and flash lamps to avoid fire hazards.
Ozone Formation
Closed rooms must be ventilated frequently to prevent excessive ozone
formation which can result from to the use of strong flash units.
Acclimatization
Sudden changes in temperature, e.g. during transportation in a car, can
lead to condensing water in the flash unit. This can lead to severe
technical damage.
Let the flash unit acclimatize turned off for a longer period of time in the
new environment. This will evaporate the condensing water which has
eventually formed inside the flash unit.

Protecting Equipment from Moisture and Splash Water
Flash units need to be protected from high humidity, moisture, wetness
and splash water. Therefore, please do not place containers with liquids
on the flash units.
Take care that neither the flash unit nor the flash or mains cable is lying
on a wet floor.
Connecting Accessories
Do not connect accessories from other manufacturers, even if these look
similar or identical.
Not in Use During Dust Development
Equipment that is not in use when doing work that results in strong dust
development needs to be covered with suitable dust protection.
Safety Hints Pertaining to the Electrical System
Contact with the flash generator’s capacitor voltage is life threatening.
Therefore, opening the housing and repairs may only be done by
authorized customer service personnel:
Never open the device –high voltage, risk of death!
The unit may only be connected to a power supply with working
equipment grounding conductor.
Use only lamp plugs with flawless contacts. Burned down or
corroded plug contacts may cause a fire.
Defective plugs may lead to defective plug sockets.
To prevent damages, avoid leading cables across floors. If this
cannot be avoided, make sure that the cable is not damaged by
vehicles, ladders, etc. Damaged cables and housings need to be
replaced immediately by authorized customer service personnel.
Explosion of Flash Tube
The flash tube is filled with xenon gas. There is negative pressure inside
the flash tube. Plasma develops during flashing due to electrical energy

User manual Copy One
HENSEL-VISIT GmbH & Co. KG 7
being changed to radiation. This plasma development then causes
positive pressure inside the flash tube. At the same time, the glass tube is
exposed to strong mechanical forces. Minimal defects of the fused quartz
glass, visually impossible to notice, may possibly lead to the explosion of
the flash tube.
In case the flash tube explodes, there is a danger of tiny glass
particles flying around. The user of this equipment needs to make
sure to protect himself by the use of the front diffuser.
The flash tube can only explode during the flash process.
Therefore, the flash head should never be directed at a person
during flashing.
Immediately disconnect the flash head from the generator if the
flash tube becomes damaged. Electrodes carry high voltage!
Flash tubes must only be changed by authorized and trained
personnel.
The flash tube must only be changed after the device is
disconnected from the power supply and is completely discharged.
Risk of Burns from Reflector and Flash Unit
After flashing there is a risk of burns caused by the reflector and the flash
unit due to hot parts on the housing or infrared heat radiation.

Description of Service
Via a flash cable the flash head Copy One has to be connected to a
Hensel power pack of the Nova D series or Porty L series.
The flash head Copy One can be swivelled smoothly via the lamp bracket.
The flash head can be mounted with optional holders on a lamp support
from Kaiser Fototechnik
The 3/8“ thread integrated in the lamp bracket lets you attach the Copy
One flash head to all common lamp stands.
Proper Use
The flash head Copy One is used together with Hensel series Nova D and
Porty L flash generators, but it can also be adapted for use with older
Hensel generators
The system was jointly developed by company Hensel-Visit and company
Kaiser Fototechnik for the professional lighting of originals in the scope of
photographic reproduction.
The short flash duration times of the integrated flash prevent a loss of
resolution caused by shaking or vibrations, and the use of short sync times
eliminates color shifting, incorrect exposure, and ambient light reflections.
The ample reserves of flash generators easily allow for the use of light
absorbing filters, e.g. for images with polarized light or in the infrared
range.
The Copy One flash heads are also equipped with an efficient LED
modeling light that is suited for video recordings.
Furthermore, it can be used in other areas, like product photography or
for the lighting of photographic backgrounds.
Following the Instructions
Following the instruction manual and all other pertinent documents is part
of the intended use.

Proper Use
For classic reproduction work, it is important to light the originals
homogeneously and with equal light intensity by using two Copy Ones,
one to the left and one to the right of the original and set at the same
angle (typically 45°). We recommend the use of a light meter with a flat
calotte to check lighting and light intensity.
Each Copy One lamp can be set up to 1200 Ws, even though this is
normally not necessary. Due to the high effectiveness of professional flash
units, it is usually sufficient to operate the generator at the low or medium
power ranges to use advantageous f-stop values and to avoid diffraction.
If the Copy One overheats despite this, the head will be deactivated
automatically and can be used again after cool down.
The brightness of the modeling light of Nova D and Porty L generators is
proportional to the selected flash power. For better image checks, the
modeling light can be switched to “MAX“ on the generator. Please note
that the LED modeling light can affect the lighting when pictures are taken
with very low flash power and/or longer sync times –in such cases, the

User manual Copy One
HENSEL-VISIT GmbH & Co. KG 17
modeling light should be deactivated on the generator prior to picture
taking.
The flash head Copy One is used together with Hensel series Nova D and
Porty L flash generators, but it can also be adapted for use with older
Hensel generators.
If only continuous light is used –like in videography –its intensity can be
controlled with the generator‘s power control (modeling light mode
“PROP“). Deactivate the slave and, if applicable, the radio sync of the
generator to prevent accidental flash triggering during recording.
Accessory barndoors are available for Copy One. These help control the
light distribution and prevent light scatter and thus appearing reflections.
The barndoors are also equipped with clips that make it much easier to
securely attach filter foils.

Maintenance Plan
Clean the system regularly as described in the section ’Cleaning’. Please
lubricate the locking bolt thread every 1-2 years.
Cleaning
DANGER
Danger of electric shock
Danger of electric shock exists during installation and
removal of system components.
Switch off unit via the power switch.
Disconnect the unit from the mains voltage.
Wait 15 minutes for the discharge of the
capacitors.
CAUTION
Risk of burns from reflector and flash unit
Heat which may cause burns develops at the head
during the flash process.
Before removing the reflector allow reflector
and flash unit to cool off.
The flash unit needs little maintenance by the user. The outside of the
equipment must be cleaned periodically with a dry cloth of dust and dirt to
ensure electric safety.
Periodic Safety Checks
The national health and safety at work regulations - BetrSichV and DGUV
Regulation 3 (formally known as BGV A3) –mandate periodic checks and
maintenance of electrical systems and devices. Generators and
accessories must be checked regularly for operational safety. A yearly
check of devices serves to ensure user safety and retains system value.
The above mentioned regulations apply to the whole EU area. If you live
outside the EU, please observe your local regulations.
