Troubleshooting
1. The mains switch (3) is ON ("I" position), but does not light up:
• Switch OFF the unit and change the mains fuse (2)
• Use only time-lag fuse (16 AT), corresponding to the Style FX model
2. The switch (3) is lit, the open ash ready is lighting up but does not function.
• The ashtube in the ashhead may be faulty
• You cannot change the ashtube by yourself! => please return the unit to an authorised
Elinchrom service.
3. The ON/OFF switch (3) is lit but the open ash signal (6) is not lit
• Temporary break for overheating, caused by fast ash sequences or ventilation
slots obturated
