[. . . ] Uncoated flash tube with a separate UV coated Pyrex glass dome fitted as standard over the modelling lamp and flash tube for safety. Clear, frosted and other dome types are also available as accessories for special applications. An illuminated modelling lamp on/off switch is fitted on the rear moulding of the flash head allowing the modelling light of individual flash heads to be switched off without affecting other heads connected to the same Generator. 2. 2. 1 2. 2 Safety Notes Cover glass domes should always be fitted during use. [. . . ] To fit, slide the neck of the reflector over the front of the flash head, align the three pegs on the reflector with the three slots in the retaining ring, press down and turn clockwise. To remove the reflector press the latch knob A (Fig. 3) in the direction of the arrow, turn the reflector fully anticlockwise and withdraw. 4. 2 5. 5. 1 Replacing Modelling Lamps Always switch the Generator `OFF' and remove the connector to isolate the head before replacing fuses or bulbs. The modelling lamp switch incorporates a neon indicator which may be used as a fault finding guide if the modelling lamp fails to light. If the modelling lamp is not lit but the head switch is on and the pack controls have no effect then:1. First, if possible, check the operation of other heads connected to the same Generator. If these do not work and the Generator appears to be working then check/change the Generator modelling fuse after checking the heads for faults or broken lamps. If the neon is not lit then check that the fan in the head is running. If the fan is running and the neon is off then check/change the modelling fuse in the head. If the modelling lamp is off with the modelling switch on and the neon lit then check/change the modelling lamp. 5. 2 ­4­ Bowens Estime 3000 Flash Head Operating Instructions 5. 3 The fuse to protect the modelling lamp circuit A (Fig. 1) is retained under the coloured handle insert B (Fig. 1). To remove the moulding insert a finger nail under the slot and pull backwards. As the fuse may blow when a modelling lamp fails, always check the fuse if a replacement lamp does not work. Ensure that the head has cooled sufficiently before touching the glass dome. Remove the glass dome by depressing the dome retaining buttons B (Fig. 3) and lifting it away from flash head. Take care removing the old modelling lamp from the holder, particularly if the glass is broken. Do not touch the replacement modelling lamp with fingers, use clean impervious cloth or paper or the new lamp packaging materials. Hook the glass dome over one of the dome retaining buttons, depress the other button and refit dome over the ridge in the top-hat.
