• Do not turn on the device without a mounted and
working ashtube due to high voltage at the exposed
terminals!
• Flash systems store electrical energy in capacitors by
applying high voltage.
• The units may retain an internal charge for a
considerable time even though disconnected from
the battery. Internal defective charge capacitors may
explode whilst the unit is in use, so never switch on a
ash unit, once it has been found to be faulty.

ashes. Only an authorised personnel should open or
attempt to repair this unit.

accessories.
• The unit, the ashtube and accessories may become
very hot during and after use! To avoid injuries,
handle with an insulating cloth or wait until parts
have cooled down. Avoid direct sunlight, which
might heat up the ash unit and affect the photocell
efciency. Protect the ash unit when used in humid
conditions but ensure ventilation for cooling!
