Hensel Integra Pro 500 Plus Strobe Unit Instructions

Precautions

Read First Before Setting Up Any Lights

This compact flash unit is for indoor use only. Never use outside.

The glass dome must be installed for the safe operation of each strobe. Halogen lights and flashtubes generate high pressure during operation and can explode, particularly if the kit is chilled in winter during transport.

Ventilation slots of each flash unit must be kept clear of any obstruction to avoid over heating.

Do not disconnect any cords while the unit is powered up.

Never move a flash unit while it is operating. Always turn the flash off for any adjustments.

Do not run cables long distances where they could be damaged from dollies, ladders or furniture.

Do not expose any flash unit to humidity or water.

Do not connect any accessories from any other manufacturer, even if they use the same or similar connectors.

Eye damage may occur if the flash unit is set up less than 5 meters from your subject.

Ventilate any closed rooms regularly to prevent a build-up of inadmissible ozone concentrations which may occur during operation.

Reflectors, speedrings and other accessories heat up during long operations. To avoid injuries, handle with gloves or wait until parts have cooled to make any adjustments.

Never over tighten any fittings. Always finger tight any knobs.

Assembly Instructions

1. Plan out what you will need for your setup. Do not setup any unnecessary equipment. Keep It Simple!

2.

Carefully remove the light stands from the bottom side compartment of the bag and spread out the base struts horizontally for maximum footprint and stability.

NOTE: Carefully lift the entire case for easy removal of the stands.

**Extremely Important**

3. Place a sandbag over each leg of the stand to prevent it from falling over.

NOTE: Sandbags are available for your use. See a Technician or Monitor on duty to sign out a few.

4. Fasten each strobe head securely to the stand. Do not over tighten. Use finger tight pressure on any knobs.

5. Remove the protective plastic cap by swinging the lever at the top of each strobe.

6. Install the metal shade or softbox (additional instructions included) by swinging the lever at the top of each strobe.

7. Make any adjustments to the strobe and/or setup it up in the appropriate location before turning on.

8. Plug in each strobe and turn it on. Wait a minute for the fan to work fully.
