13. Fuses
To change fuses, switch the unit off and pull the
power plug. Fuse drawer (9): Push the fuse drawer
(9) out towards the front with the aid of small
screwdriver placed behind the upper part of the
drawer. The fuse is located at the rear, a spare fuse
at the front of the drawer. Always replace the blown
fuse by one of identical rating.
14. Thermal protection
The units have a thermal circuit breaker that responds
to very high ambient temperature and heavy-duty
use.
When the circuit breaker acts, the flash will not fire
any more, and the modeling light goes out. The LED
(15) above the open-flash button (14) is OFF, while all
other LEDs stay lit. Once it has cooled down
sufficiently, the unit switches on automatically. Under
normal operating conditions, the built-in fan provides
sufficient cooling.
15. Protective glass globes
VARI 2 + 5
The halogen tubes of these types of VARI units
conform to the latest safety standards (IEC 598, IEC
432-2) with integral fuse and DO NOT require any
protective glass globe. However, should this be
desired, it may be ordered as an optional accessory.
To mount it, use the screws to secure the three spring
clips supplied at points (25). The globe comes with
separate instructions for mounting.
16. Care and maintenance
At the end of the shoot, pull the power plug. Units that
are used regularly should be serviced by Multiblitz
once a year.
The flash unit should be carefully protected from
water splashes.
