FLASHTUBE ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT

 

 

WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE

 

AFTER USE DO NOT TOUCH THE FLASHTUBE ASSEMBLY FOR THIRTY MINUTES DUE TO EXTREME HEAT

STEP 1.)

Ensure that the Ringflash Pro is switched off and disconnected from the mains supply and wait for thirty minutes to allow to cool

 

down before touching / removing the flashtube.

STEP 2.)

Before removing the flashtube assembly from the Ringflash Pro first remove the front protective glass cover (before removing

 

check the glass has cooled sufficiently to touch). Once the glass cover has been removed take out the two modelling lamps

 

next to the trigger wire tab and then unwind the trigger wire from the tab as shown in fig. 7. It is recommended to remove the two

 

modelling lamps next to the trigger wire tab to allow more room to when unwinding the trigger wire and so not to damage the

 

lamps.

STEP 3.)

To remove the flashtube assembly hold gently on both sides and pull away evenly from the Ringflash Pro as shown in fig. 8. To

 

replace the flashtube assembly, simply place all four support legs into the correct fittings and gently push back in ensuring all four

 

legs are placed back in evenly and secured by fully inserting into the flashtube leg connections.

 

N.B. Always replace with the correct flashtube assembly.

MODELLING LAMP REPLACEMENT

 

WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE

 

AFTER USE DO NOT TOUCH THE MODELLING LAMPS FOR THIRTY MINUTES DUE TO EXTREME HEAT

STEP 1.)

Ensure that the Ringflash Pro is switched off and disconnected from the mains supply and wait for thirty minutes to allow to cool

 

down before touching / removing the modelling lamps.

STEP 2.)

Before removing any modelling lamps from the Ringflash Pro first remove the front protective glass (before removing check the

 

glass has cooled sufficiently to touch). To remove the modelling lamps grip gently between fingers (always ensure that you do not

 

touch the modelling bulbs directly with your fingers, use a cloth or a tissue (as shown in fig.9.), this is because the residue from

 

your fingers can shorten the life span of the bulb) and pull away slowly from the Ringflash Pro. To replace the modelling lamps

 

simply align the two legs of the lamp with the correct fittings and gently push in ensuring that the lamp legs are fully inserted.
