Troubleshooting
1. The mains switch (3) is ON ("I" position), but not light up:
• Switch OFF the unit and change the mains fuse (2)
• Use only time-lag fuse (16 AT), corresponding to the Style RX model
2. The switch (3) is lit, the open flash ready is lighting up but does not function.
• The flashtube in the flashhead may be faulty (see page 11)
• If replacing the flashtube does not solve the problem, the cause could be a
component failure => please return the unit to an authorised Elinchrom service.
3. The ON/OFF switch (3) is lit but the open flash signal (6) is not lit
• Temporary break for overheating, caused by fast flash sequences or ventilation
slots obturated
• Fan cooling defective => the unit turns off automatically and cannot be fired any
more. After a break for cooling, the flash is ready again for operation.
• If after several minutes of break for cooling the ready signal (6) is not lit, the cause
could be a component failure. However, high voltage may remain on the capacitor
circuits. => DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE UNIT. In this case please send the unit
to an authorised Elincrom station.
