Photogenic Professional Lighting PM800R, PM400R Safety Precautions, Preparation And Basics

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Despite the measures that have been taken to make electronic flash equipment safe, it must be recognized that high voltages and high temperatures do exist within the power supply & light heads. Certain precautions must be observed in handling the unit. Contact with internal high voltage may result in severe injury or death.

1.Before installing or removing the flashtube and modeling lamp, be sure this appliance is turned off, cooled and unplugged from AC power source.

2.Do not touch the glass tubes with bare hands, as normal body salts will shorten the bulb’s life. Always use a clean cloth or wear gloves to protect your hand from glass breakage and heat.

3.Do not defeat the purpose to the three-wire line cord by disconnecting the ground. Connect to properly functioning and grounded 3-pin receptacles only. If you are using an extension cord, be sure the cord has an equivalent or greater rating and has a ground.

4.Do not insert a screwdriver or other metal objects into the flashtube socket area or vents. Contact with high voltage may result.

5.Do not operate this appliance with a frayed or damaged line cord or light head cable.

6.Do not attempt to use this appliance if it has been dropped or damaged, until a qualified service person has serviced it.

7.Do not operate the unit with a damaged or broken flashtube or modeling lamp. Do not use flashtubes with broken, cracked or missing glass envelopes. To prevent damage or injury always use Photogenic specified replacements for the flashtubes and modeling lamps.

8.Perform no internal service work on these units. Refer all such service to a qualified service person or return to the factory. This will provide you safety and continuation of your warranty.

9.Do not operate when water is present and/or extreme temperature shifts. If the unit is stored in hot or below freezing temperatures, allow at least one hour at room temperatures before using.

PREPARATION AND BASICS

Unpacking and Setup:

Unpack all units carefully to remove all parts from the carton(s). Do not discard or destroy the packing material until the equipment has been inspected, assembled, and all parts accounted for.

After unpacking, all parts should be examined for any damage, which may have been caused by rough handling during shipment. If any damage is detected, contact the delivering carrier at once. Claim for damage should be made to the delivering carrier before destroying packing cartons.
