Frequently Asked Questions - Zoom Scanlite Halogen Elinchrom

What is the Zoom function of the Scanlite Halogen?

The Zoom function allows you to vary the lighting angle from 20° (spot) to 50° (wide) using a button located on the sides of the housing. It requires the 21 cm reflector (ref. 26141).

What types of halogen bulbs can I use?

The lamp accepts 300 W and 650 W halogen bulbs, in 120 V or 230 V. Make sure to choose the appropriate fuse according to the correspondence table provided in the manual.

How does the smart cooling work?

The fan automatically adjusts its speed according to the internal temperature. In case of overheating, the lamp turns off and a red LED lights up; it turns back on after cooling.

Can I use accessories from other brands?

It is recommended to use only original Elinchrom accessories and reflectors. Using third-party accessories may damage the device and void the warranty.

How do I mount an accessory on the bayonet?

Turn off the lamp and unplug the cord. Turn the locking ring counterclockwise, insert the accessory, turn it clockwise, then lock the ring. Check that the accessory is securely held.

What should I do if the lamp turns off automatically?

This is overheat protection. Leave the lamp plugged in: the fan continues to cool the device. The lamp will turn back on automatically once the temperature returns to normal.

How to clean the Scanlite Halogen?

Use a dry cloth to remove dust. Never use water. Make sure the ventilation grilles are not blocked (e.g., by adhesive tape).

What is the typical lifespan of the halogen bulb?

Lifespan depends on usage, but halogen bulbs are designed to last several hundred hours. Replace them as soon as they darken or flicker.

Can I use the Scanlite outdoors?

Yes, but protect it from moisture and ensure good ventilation. Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent overheating. Do not use near flammable materials.

Where to find spare parts and bulbs?

Contact your local Elinchrom distributor or visit www.elinchrom.com. Use only genuine Elinchrom parts to ensure safety and proper operation.

USER SAFETY INFORMATION OUTDOORS, STUDIO & GENERAL USE

The halogen SCANLITE is a powerful light source. Please be aware of the danger, or inconvenience, that they may present to others such as example children.

• Keep units out of reach of unauthorised persons whenever possible.
• Do not use in restricted area (like hospitals, always ask permission before).
• Do not use near flammable / explosive material. Keep minimum 1m distance to objects, or more if needed.
• The unit and accessories may become very hot during and after use! To avoid injuries, handle with isolating cloth or wait until parts have cooled down.
• Never direct light into the eyes of a subject without warning. Close use may affect eyesight.
• Protect the SCANLITE when used in humid conditions, but ensure ventilation for cooling!
• Acclimatizing: If the unit has been exposed to very cold conditions, sudden exposure to warm or humid air may cause condensation and malfunction.
  • Prevent direct sunlight, which might heat up the head.
• Do not open the unit. In the event of damage, apparent failure, please contact the Elinchrom Service Centre.

User Manual

• Halogen lamps may generate high pressure during operation. Explosions may occur with aged halogen lamps and incorrect fuse. For this reason the lamp is covered with a glass dome.
• Damaged cables, glass domes and cases must be immediately replaced by customer service.

SAFETY NOTE FOR ACCESSORIES

• Rotalux softboxes and umbrellas are limited to 300 W halogen lamps.
- Metal reflectors can be used with 650 W halogen lamps, except small or narrow reflectors such as snoots and grids for Reflectors, which can be damaged or even burned by the excessive heat of the halogen lamp.
- Not used SCANLITE's should be switched off.
- Ensure that the ventilation system of the SCANLITE works correctly.
- No guarantee when materials are misused or damaged by excessive heat.

BEFORE YOU START

• Ensure that the SCANLITE is switched OFF and the mains plug is removed, before mounting the halogen lamp.
• Ensure that the halogen lamp voltage and the fuse correspond to the mains voltage 110 V or 230 V
• Ensure that the SCANLITE is in a workable condition. Do not use the SCANLITE if the cable, fan or the housing show any kind of damage.

ATTENTION

• Always switch the SCANLITE off and wait until the unit cooled down, before replacing halogen lamps or accessories! Note; for faster cooling of the halogen lamp and the SCANLITE, switch the light off, with the ON / OFF switch on the top of the head. The fan cooling is active, wait 5 minutes at least, before removing the mains plug.
• The ambient temperature whilst the unit is in use: min. -20°C (-4°F) up to max. 35°C (95°F)

THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURERS

Use only original Elinchrom accessories and reflectors. The warranty does not cover damages forced by third party accessories and reflectors.

Before connecting the mains plug to the mains socket, ensure that the On/Off switch is in position Off: "0" must be visible on the switch (to prevent arcing mains plug contacts).

Then connect the mains cable to the mains socket => the fan spins and the cooling system is active.

Switch the halogen light on, press the On / Off switch to the On position.

After using the SCANLITE, switch the halogen light off, but do not remove the mains plug before the fan cooled down the temperature of the SCANLITE.

SCANLITE INTELLIGENT FAN COOLING AND OVERHEAT PROTECTION

The fan speed is electronically controlled. Close to the on/off switch is a small LED, which lights up in case of over heating. The overheat protection shuts the Halogen lamp down at high internal temperature. After cooling down, the Halogen lamp switches on automatically and the red LED turns off.

FITTING ACCESSORIES

1. Always switch the unit off before attaching accessories.
2. Disconnect the mains cable.
3. Mount the SCANLITE Head to a tripod and lock the security screw.
4. Turn the locking ring of the reflector bayonet anticlockwise in OPEN position.
