Elinchrom Battery Power Pack Ranger RX Benutzerhandbuch

5

Because a portable unit is frequently used "on location" please be aware of the danger, or inconve-

nience, which it may represent to others for example children.

• Before you travel or transport the unit: Select the function "Auto Off" (indicated by the green Led

   illuminated) and switch Off the unit.

  This will give a maximum of security and no loss of batterry supply until transport.

• If you travel by airplane remove the battery box and the fuse. (page 9)

• Keep flash units out of reach whenever possible.

• Switch off when not in use and disconnect flashheads.

• Cover or otherwise protect in humid conditions.

• If the unit has been exposed to very cold conditions, sudden exposure to warm or humid air may 

    cause condensation. Flashing a number of times first will help to internally warm the unit.

• There is high voltage and can be high currents, so please apply all the usual safety precautions

   when handling the unit, changing fuses, modelling lamps etc, as you would with mains powered

   electronic flash.

• Do not use near flammable/explosive material.

• Do not open the unit. In the event of damage or apparent failure, contact a repair service or any

   Elinca agent or email: elinca@elinca.ch 

• Always switch off unit before connecting flashheads

• Check always if battery is plugged in correctly

• Check always if flashheads connections are plugged in correctly and locked with the bayonet!

With a flattened battery in place, the Ranger RX may be used with the charger connected. However, 

the recycle time between full power flashes will be 50/60 seconds due to limited charging current. 

Battery charging will only re-commence when the Ranger RX is switched off.

• The charging time is approximately 3 h to full charge.

• The Battery may be re-charged at any time. “Topping up” will not damage it.

• We suggest a spare Battery Box. Whilst one is in use, the other can recharge.

• To recharge the Battery externally, release the Battery Box, and connect the charger to the battery.

• Before changing the Battery Box, please ensure the Elinchrom Charger is disconnected and 

   switch off the unit.

• Always switch off the unit before connecting or disconnecting flashheads!

• The head connector must always be locked with the bayonet before any use.
