User manual BOWENS ESTIME 3000 HEAD

[. . . ] Always replace with a fuse of identical rating. Switch off and disconnect the flash head from the Generator before changing the glass dome, flash tube, modelling lamp, fuse or reflector. Be aware that the front assembly of the head can reach extremely high temperatures when in use and should be allowed to cool before attempting to replace these parts. Do not restrict slots in the case during and after use. [. . . ] First, if possible, check the operation of other heads connected to the same Generator. If these do not work and the Generator appears to be working then check/change the Generator modelling fuse after checking the heads for faults or broken lamps. Check that the head switch is on and that the neon is lit. If the neon is not lit then check that the fan in the head is running. If not then check/change the Generator modelling fuse. If the fan is running and the neon is off then check/change the modelling fuse in the head. If the modelling lamp is off with the modelling switch on and the neon lit then check/change the modelling lamp. 5. 2 ­4­ Bowens Estime 3000 Flash Head Operating Instructions 5. 3 The fuse to protect the modelling lamp circuit A (Fig. 1) is retained under the coloured handle insert B (Fig. 1). To remove the moulding insert a finger nail under the slot and pull backwards. Always replace this fuse with a fuse of identical rating. As the fuse may blow when a modelling lamp fails, always check the fuse if a replacement lamp does not work. Ensure that the head has cooled sufficiently before touching the glass dome. Remove the reflector (Fig. 3) to gain access to the glass dome. Remove the glass dome by depressing the dome retaining buttons B (Fig. 3) and lifting it away from flash head. Take care removing the old modelling lamp from the holder, particularly if the glass is broken. Do not touch the replacement modelling lamp with fingers, use clean impervious cloth or paper or the new lamp packaging materials. Plug the replacement modelling lamp into the holder. Hook the glass dome over one of the dome retaining buttons, depress the other button and refit dome over the ridge in the top-hat. The correct holes are marked with a small white line.
