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!).
