However, its use can result in bodily injury and property damage.

Please note the general safety guidelines and warnings that precede each use when operating this device. Please read all of the enclosed instructions.

Please note the warnings in the documents and on the device.

Only use the device when it is in proper condition. Be aware of safety precautions and possible danger.

Keep this document available with the device.

Safety Precautions and Warning Notices

The warning notices are marked with the following danger icons and signal words according to severity:

Danger icon	Signal word	Explanation
	DANGER	Warning of danger which can lead to major or fatal injuries if disregarded.
	WARNING	Warning of danger which can lead to major or fatal injuries if disregarded.
	CAUTION	Warning of danger which can lead to injuries if precautions are disregarded.
	CAUTION	Warning of danger which can lead to property damage if disregarded.

Structure of Warning Notices

Warning notices are indicated by separation lines above and below. They are structured according to the following principle:

SIGNAL WORD

Type and Source of Danger

Explanations of the type and source of danger

• Measures to avert danger

Basic Safety Instructions

Safety Hints Pertaining to Emitted Optical Radiation

Electrical power is changed inside the flash tube to intensive optical radiation:

• Do not flash directly into eyes from a short distance because the emitted intensive optical radiation can cause eye and skin damage.
• Do not look directly into flash reflector; the flash may be accidentally triggered.
• In case of damage to skin or eyes caused by intensive optical radiation consult a physician immediately.

Working in Potentially Explosive Rooms

Working in potentially explosive rooms and environments is prohibited because small sparks develop upon triggering the flash.

• Never work in potentially explosive environments.
• Do not work near flammable material.
• Do not store flammable material in direct vicinity of flash generators and flash lamps to avoid fire hazards.

Ozone Formation

Closed rooms must be ventilated frequently to prevent excessive ozone formation which can result from to the use of strong flash units.

Protecting Equipment from Moisture and Splash Water

Flash units need to be protected from moisture, wetness and splash water. Therefore, please do not place containers with liquids on the flash units.

Connecting Accessories

Do not connect accessories from other manufacturers, even if these look similar or identical.

Not in Use During Dust Development

Equipment that is not in use when doing work that results in strong dust development needs to be covered with suitable dust protection.

Safety Hints Pertaining to the Electrical System

Contact with the flash generator's capacitor voltage is life threatening. Therefore, opening the housing and repairs may only be done by authorized customer service personnel:

• Never open the device – high voltage, risk of death!
• The unit may only be connected to a power supply with working equipment grounding conductor.
• Use only lamp plugs with flawless contacts. Burned down or corroded plug contacts may cause a fire.
• Defective plugs may lead to defective plug sockets.
• To prevent damages, avoid leading cables across floors. If this cannot be avoided, make sure that the cable is not damaged by vehicles, ladders, etc. Damaged cables and housings need to be replaced immediately by authorized customer service personnel.

Explosion of Flash Tube

The flash tube is filled with xenon gas. There is negative pressure inside the flash tube. Plasma develops during flashing due to electrical energy being changed to radiation. This plasma development then causes positive pressure inside the flash tube. At the same time, the glass tube is exposed to strong mechanical forces. Minimal defects of the fused quartz glass, visually impossible to notice, may possibly lead to the explosion of the flash tube.

• In case the flash tube explodes, there is a danger of tiny glass particles flying around. The user of this equipment needs to make sure to protect himself by the use a safety glass dome.
• The flash tube can only explode during the flash process. Therefore, the flash head should never be directed at a person during flashing.

User Manual Expert D 250 Speed / D 500 / D 1000

• Immediately disconnect the flash head from the generator if the flash tube becomes damaged. Electrodes carry high voltage!
• Flash tubes must only be changed by authorized and trained personnel.
• The flash tube must only be changed after the device is disconnected from the power supply and is completely discharged.

Risk of Burns from Reflector and Flash Unit

After flashing there is a risk of burns caused by the reflector and the flash unit due to hot parts on the housing or infrared heat radiation.

Modeling Light

The modeling light is switched on by using the key FULL or PROP:

Mode FULL: The modeling light is set at full power.

Mode PROP: The light output (brightness) of the modeling light is proportional to the flash output.

Mode FULL

The modeling light is set at full power, independent of the flash output.

Automatic Modeling Light reduction AUTORED

The compact flash unit's modeling light is equipped with an energy saving mode. This conserves energy and extends the lamp's operating life. After a preselected time of 35 min in the FULL mode the modeling light is automatically reduced to level 9.

When set on PROP mode, this happens when the flash output setting is between 9.1 and 10.

The original output is restored when you touch any key.

WARNING

Danger of eye and skin injuries due to optical radiation

An intensive optical radiation develops during the flash process which can harm unprotected eyes or skin.

- Do not flash into the face from short distances.

Synchronization

Synchronization between compact flash unit and camera can be optionally achieved via sync cord, the built-in slave, or a built-in radio receiver.

Synchronization via Cord

The synchronization process uses the latest semiconductor technology and warrants reliable triggering of the flash unit even when older camera models with mechanical contacts are used. The lower voltage of the sync plug ensures safe and reliable operation, also with the use of modern digital cameras.

ENSEL WELL SPINNING LIME

Synchronization socket

- Plug the 6.3 mm jack into the synchronization socket of the compact flash unit.

- Connect the other end of the sync cord to the camera's sync socket. Please consult the user manual of your camera.

Synchronization via Slave

The built-in slave triggers the flash when light from another flash is detected (slave mode).

The slave is an impulse photo cell. It only triggers the flash when the striking light is brighter than the ambient light.

PM Mode (in connection with Power Max L)

Hallmarks of the compact flash units of the Expert D series are their especially short flash duration times and fast recycling times - also when operated with a Power Max L. This results in a comparatively high power draw. In order to guarantee optimum functioning, the Expert D must be switched to a special mode when used in connection with a Power Max L.

In this mode, the modeling light is set to 100W and the „Flash Check" function, which turns off the modeling light after flashing and turns it back on as soon as the unit has recharged and is ready to flash again, is activated.

Maintenance Plan

Clean the system regularly as described in the section 'Cleaning'.

Periodic Inspections

National safety regulations require that electric systems and devices be inspected and maintained in regular intervals. Devices and accessories must be checked regularly for operational safety. An annual inspection of the system insures the safety of the user and retains the value of the equipment.

Disposal

The packaging materials must be separated for recycling. Obsolete or defective equipment must be turned in to recycling facilities.
