[. . . ] NEVER use the Flash Heads or Pack in an environment where moisture, water vapour or inflammable liquids, vapour or materials may come into contact with the Pack or Flash Heads. The flash output as well as the modelling lamps can cause ignition of or damage to materials that may come into direct or close contact with the Flash Heads. ALWAYS keep ALL vents in the Heads and Pack clear of obstructions at all times. ONLY switch the Pack `ON' AFTER THE FLASH HEAD(s) has/have been connected. [. . . ] Optional Cover Glass Kit available including clear glass and frosted glass to provide a diffused effect. Operation Mount the Head on the selected support system.

Fit the other end of the Flash Head cable to the Pack by aligning the WHITE dots, inserting the plug into the chosen socket and rotating the connector locking ring clockwise until it locks in place. Switch the Pack `ON' and test the operation of the Flash Head, modelling lamp and flash. Fitting / Replacing Modelling Lamps ALWAYS switch `OFF' the Pack and remove the connector to isolate the Head before replacing the modelling lamp.

If these do not work and the Pack appears to be working then check/change the Pack modelling fuse after checking the Heads for faults or broken lamps. If not then check/change the Pack modelling fuse. · If the fan is running then check/change the modelling lamp. As the fuse may blow when a modelling lamp fails, always check/change the modelling fuse in the Head if the replacement lamp does not work. -4- Ensure that the Head has cooled sufficiently before removing the old modelling lamp from the holder. Ensure a replacement modelling lamp of the same voltage as the supply (230 V) is used. Do not touch the replacement modelling lamp with fingers: use clean, impervious cloth or paper, or the new lamp packaging materials. Insert the lamp into the holder positioned in the centre of the reflector. Discard the old modelling lamp safely using the packaging from the new lamp. Circuit Protection Circuit protection for the modelling lamp is provided by means of a 20 mm fuse mounted on the rear of the Head.
