To prevent the unit from sliding off the rail and dropping down, the provided M6
screw is to be inserted into the provided thread hole on the rear end of the rail.
Mounting of accessories
Light modifiers (reflector, soft box, umbrella, etc.) are to be mounted to the LED 400
continuous video light before the unit is put into operation. Accordingly, the LED 400 device
must always be switched off before the light modifier is changed.
After longer periods of operation the LED 400 continuous video light and the
attached accessories (particularly reflectors) can become very hot. To avoid burns
upon contact, you should use suitable heat guards when handling the equipment or
wait until it has cooled down. Due to the heat build-up, LED 400 continuous light unit
must not be operated in the vicinity of flammable objects. Sufficient safety clearance
with regard to decoration for photographic purposes must be ensured.
Connection of reflectors
To attach reflectors the clamps are put into open position by pressing the reflector lever
against the spring force until it hits the stop and keep it there. Now place the accessory
evenly and flush to the unit (for accessories with Bowens S-type adapter, place the three
flanges of the accessory that they fit into the corresponding recesses). Do not tilt the
accessory during this process. Then return the lever to its initial position moving with the
spring force to lock the accessory into place. To remove the accessory, hold it firmly
(caution - it could be very hot!), press the lever against the spring force to unlock it and
remove the accessory.
The system is generally compatible with most reflectors of the Bowens / S-Line as well as
HENSEL / E and EH series. As for HENSEL reflectors, the clamps fit around the raised
edge of the reflector from the outside. Should you have any questions concerning
compatibility, please contact us.
Connection of softboxes
The PRI
O
LITE softboxes have a speedring which is mounted same way as reflectors (see
description above). For softboxes of other brands adapters are available upon request.
Please ask for details.
Umbrella attachment
To attach an umbrella, insert the rod in the round opening at the front of the rail profile to
the desired length and tighten it using the knurled screw.
Overheating
All units are equipped with a fan to prevent damage to the electronics during prolonged
operation. Nonetheless, should overheating occur, an error message will appear on the
LED display. The error message will be automatically reset as soon as the unit has cooled
down.
