Before you start !

English

The BX-Ri (Multivoltage) units are adapted for operation on 90 - 260V/50 - 60Hz. Before connecting for the first time, check to make sure that your Modelling Lamp coincides with the voltage. They must always be connected to an earthed ( grounded) mains supply. All BX-Ri units have a bayonet mount and locking ring fitting, for fixing all Elinchrom and Prolinca accessories.

Mount the unit securely to a suitable stand or support.

Remove the black protective cover. DO NOT operate the unit without first removing the black protective cover.

Open the little drawer in the mains plug with a screwdriver and replace the fuse with the spare fuse, which is placed in its support in this drawer. (N.B. Please don’t forget to check the correct rating of the fuse!).

Switch off the unit and replace the blown fuse with a new one of the correct rating.

The fastblow fuse will protect the triac of the modelling lamp circuit, the lamp and therefore the flash tube.
