Before you start !

The units Style BX (Multivoltage) 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 line. They must always be connected to an earthed ( grounded) mains supply.

All Style BX units have a bayonet mount and locking ring reflector fitting, for fixing all Elinchrom and Prolinca accessories.

Mount the unit securely to a suitable stand or support.

Remove the black protective cover (note: first turn the locking ring A as shown, then rotate the black cap cover B in the same direction). Fitting a reflector or accessory is the reverse of this action. DO NOT operate the unit without first removing the black protective cover.
