Safety Note English
According to safety regulations, we draw your attention to the fact that these
electronic flash units are not designed for use outdoors, in damp or dusty conditions and should
not be used after being exposed to sudden temperature changes causing condensation. They
must always be connected to an earthed (grounded) mains supply.
On no account should any object be inserted into the ventilation holes.
The units may retain an internal charge for a considerable time even though disconnected from
the power supply.
• Do not use without permission in restricted areas (like hospitals, etc.).
• Do not use in explosive environnements.
Flash tubes and modelling lamps
• Flash tubes and modelling lamps in use are very hot!
• Never touch a ash tube or lamp before the unit has cooled down and is disconnected from
the mains (min 30mn).
• Do not re ashes from short distance (less than 1m) directed at a person and avoid looking
directly into the flashlight!
• Keep a min. 1m distance from any ammable materials.
• Keep generally distance to other operating units.
Transport
• Transport the ash unit with care, either in its original packaging or other corresponding
packaging fit to protect it against knocks and jolts.
• Transport only in complete discharged conditions. Wait a minimum of 30 minutes after
disconnecting from the mains supply before packaging and transportation.
• Never drop the ash unit (danger of ashtube breakage)
Power cable
To guarantee safe operation, use the cable supplied.
• The cable has to be HAR-certied or VDE-certied. The mark HAR or VDE will appear on the
outer sheath.
• The cable set must be selected according to the rated current for your ash unit.
• Do not use a multiple adapter to connect one or more ash units per single mains socket.
• Flash systems store electrical energy in capacitors by applying high voltage.
• For your safety, never open or disassemble your ashes.
• Only an authorised service engineer should open or attempt to repair the units.
!
• Internal defect charge capacitors may explode whilst the unit is in use, never
switch on a working flash unit, once it has been found to be faulty.

Included basic features English
The following basic features are easy to access and they are similar to previous Elinchrom compact
flashes.
• NEW EL-Skyport Wireless Triggering. Note: To function the integrated
Receiver requires the optional EL-Skyport Transmitter.
Additional advanced programmable features
All the new features and functions can be customised.
Please read carefully how to configure the new features.
“Eye-Cell” automatic & manual mode
Some cameras may release before the main-flash, several pre-flashes to avoid the red eye
effect. In this case a normal photocell would respond and release a flash with the first pre-flash
of the camera. To avoid incorrect synchronisation the intelligent Elinchrom Eye-Cell detects
camera pre-flashes. The Eye-Cell function can be activated in “Automatic Mode” or in “Manual
Mode”, even configuring LED pre-flashes. (Only for advanced users, read carefully the instructions before changing any parameters).
EL-Skyport wireless triggering & remote control
D-Lite it can be triggered using EL-Skyport Transmitter.
“Group” and “ Channel Frequency” settings can be customised on each D-Lite it unit.
Power and modelling lamp steps setup
Normally flash power adjustments are in 1/10th steps per touch. While modelling lamp can be
operated in (prop / min / max /off) modes.
Temperature controlled FAN management
The cooling fan switches ON automatically if the unit temperature increases. The microprocessor
controls the unit temperature and the fan. If the ventilation is blocked or the fan does not work,
the display shows E8.

Flashtube replacement English
If the unit does not flash but the ON/OFF switch indicates that there is power, it could be that the
flash tube needs replacing. Flash tubes have a long life with average use,
but multiflashing in long sequences can cause overheating of the electrodes
leading to premature ageing, or perhaps the flastube is broken or cracked.
To replace the flash tube:
1. Switch off the mains switch
2. Remove the mains cable
3. Take the unit from its stand or lay it horizontally on a rigid surface. It will
need to be held firmly whilst removing and replacing the tube.
4. Allow the flash tube and modelling lamp to cool for several minutes. They
may be very hot.
5. Carefully remove and store the modelling lamp.
6. Use a protective glove to remove the flashtube:
A – Pull the flash tube firmly out of the terminals
B – If the tube is broken, use security gloves. Avoid cutting yourself!
C - If the tube is broken, never touch the metal electrodes and ensure
that the unit is disconnected from the mains and discharged, wait min.
30 minutes! Use an insulated tool to pull out the electrodes.
7. Take the new flash tube. A glove or "plastic protection" MUST BE USED.
Contact with your fingers on the glas, will cause dark markings on the tube
when it is used.
8. Check that the tube is correctly aligned (central) and that the trigger contact
is gripping the tube.
9. Re-connect and test the unit as usual.

Grundfunktionen Deutsch
Die Grundfunktionen sind einfach zu bedienen und sind ähnlich zu vorherigen Elinchrom Blitzgeräten.
• Blitzleistungseinstellung mit „auf & ab“ Pfeiltasten
• Modustaste (proportional/min./max./aus
• Einstelllichtfunktionen: proportional / frei / aus
• Photozelle ein / aus
• Akustische Ladebereitschaft ein / aus

Zusätzliche programmierbare Sonderfunktionen
Alle neuen Funktionen können individuell programmiert werden.
Lesen Sie dazu aufmerksam wie die Funktionen konfiguriert werden!
Eye-Cell automatische & manuelle Einstellung zur Erkennung von Vorblitzen
Einige Kameras mit integriertem Blitz lösen Vorblitze aus um rote Augen zu vermeiden. Normalerweise lösen D-Lite it Studioblitzgeräte bereits beim ersten Blitzimpuls aus was in diesem Fall eine
Fehlsynchronisierung verursacht. Die Eye-Cell Photozelle kann so programmiert werden das, dass
Gerät erst nach dem letzten Hauptblitz synchronisiert (bis max. 6 Vorblitze)
EL-Skyport integrierte Funkblitzauslösung Neu
D-Lite it kann mit dem El-Skyport Transmitter ECO oder Speed verwendet werden..
“Gruppe” und “Channel Frequency”-Einstellungen können bei D-Lite it Blitzgeräten angepasst
werden.
Blitz- und Einstelllicht / Individuelle Anpassung der Leistungseinstellung
Anpassungen der Blitzleistung in 1/10 Blendenschritten. Das Einstellicht bietet proportionale /
Min. /Max. oder Aus Funktionen an.
Temperaturgesteuertes Kühlgebläse
Der interne Mikroprozessor kontrolliert die Gerätetemperatur. Wird es zu warm schaltet sich das
Kühlgebläse automatisch ein, bis die korrekte Betriebstemperatur erreicht wurde. Ist das Kühlgebläse blockiert oder defekt erscheint die Fehlermeldung E8 auf dem Display.

Vor dem Start Deutsch
Das D-Lite it Blitzgerät ist mit einer Multivoltage-Technologie ausgestattet und kann mit 90V -260V /50-60
Hz Stromnetzen verwendet werden. Lediglich der Einstelllampenwert muss dem jeweiligen Stromnetz ent-
sprechen. Das Stromnetz muss geerdet sein. Alle D-Lite it-Geräte sind mit einem speziellen verschließbaren
Bajonettring ausgestattet - wie alle anderen Kompaktgeräte und Blitzköpfe des Systems. Das Reektoren-
bajonett ist kompatibel mit Reflektoren und Softboxen bis zu 1,5 kg, z. B. Rotalux 100 x 100 cm.
Setzen Sie das Kompaktgerät auf ein Lampenstativ. Entfernen Sie die Schutzkappe, indem Sie den
Verriegelungsring (A) nach links drehen, die Schutzkappe ebenfalls nach links drehen (B) und nach vorn
entnehmen. Reflektoren werden in umgekehrter Reihenfolge adaptiert.
Achtung: Wechselbare Blitzröhren müssen korrekt und fest in der Steckhalterung sitzen bevor das
Blitzgerät eingeschaltet wird. Die Blitzröhre nur mit Schutzhandschuhen berühren, bzw. wechseln! Die
Halogenlampe darf beim Einsetzen nicht mit den Fingern berührt werden (Plastikschutzhülle dazu benutzen).
Inbetriebnahme
1. Überprüfen Sie, dass die Netzanschluss-Steckdose geerdet ist und die Stromspannung
mit der des Blitzgerätes / Einstelllampe übereinstimmt.
2. Der Netzschalter muss auf Position AUS stehen.
3. Netzkabel am Gerät einstecken und dann erst mit dem Stromnetz verbinden.
4. Das Gerät mit dem Kippschalter / Netzschalter einschalten.
5. Synchronkabel an die Synchronbuchse anschließen.
6. Blitzleistung mit den Leistungstasten wählen.

Netzanschluss & Sicherungen
Netzanschluss
Nur das originale Elinchrom Netzkabel verwenden. Der Kompaktblitz wird mit Strom versorgt, wenn
der Netzschalter eingeschaltet ist. Diesen Schalter immer erst ausschalten, bevor das Netzkabel
gezogen wird.
Netzsicherung
Nur Sicherungen des Typs 5 x 20 mm 8 AT (träge) für D-Lite it verwenden.
Bevor eine defekte Sicherung gewechselt wird, das Gerät abschalten und das Netzkabel entfernen.
Öffnen Sie die kleine Sicherungsschublade am Netzeingangschalter mit einem Schraubendreher und
wechseln Sie die Sicherung mit der in der Schublade befindlichen Reservesicherung aus. (Bitte korrekten
Wert der Sicherung kontrollieren.)
Einstelllichtsicherung
Nur Sicherungen des Typs 5 x 20 mm / 2,5 AF (flink) verwenden.
Bevor eine defekte Sicherung durch eine mit korrektem Wert ersetzt wird, das Gerät abschalten
und das Netzkabel entfernen. Die flinke Sicherung schützt die Einstelllichtelektronik und die Lampe
vor Explosionen und damit auch die Blitzröhre vor Beschädigungen.

Digitales Multi Display Deutsch
Die Blitz- und Einstelllichtwerte werden in einem Blendenkompatiblen Format von 2,0 – 6,0 für das
D-Lite it angezeigt. Der Unterschied zwischen z. B. 5,0 – 6,0 ist eine Blende Lichtleistung.
Der Leistungsbereich beträgt 5 Blendenwerte, variabel in 1/10 Blendenschritten. Beim Laden oder
Entladen „blinkt“ die Displayanzeige. Bei Überhitzung oder Fehlfunktion wird im Display „E“ für Fehler,
gefolgt von einem Fehlercode, angezeigt.
Displayanzeige2.03.04.05.06.0
Joules / Ws2550100200400
Bemerkung: D-Lite 2 it und D-Lite 4 it-Blitzgeräte werden bei Leistungsreduzierung automatisch
entladen. Ständiges Entladen über mehr als 2 Blendenwerte kann zu Überhitzungen führen. Um
ein Überhitzen zu vermeiden, können sie manuell mit dem „Test“-Taster entladen werden, wenn die
Leistung um mehr als 2 Blendenwerte gesenkt werden soll.
Synchronisierungsbuchse
D-Lite it ist mit einer 3.5 mm Buchse ausgestattet. Nur Elinchrom Synchronkabel
verwenden. Niemals EL- Blitzgeräte mit anderen Blitzanlagen über Synchronkabel
vernetzen. Elinchrom verwendet eine niedrige 5V Synchronspannung um ang-
eschlossene Kameras zu schützen.

Test Taster
Über den Test Taster kann ein Blitz manuell ausgelöst werden. Wenn das
Gerät wieder Blitzbereit ist leuchtet die LED Anzeige grün auf. Falls die
LED nicht leuchtet, kann der Ladekreis defekt sein. Bitte ein qualifiziertes
Elinchrom-Servicecenter kontaktieren.
Die eingebaute Fotozelle lässt das Gerät bei Blitzimpulsen automatisch synchron auslösen.
Die D-Lite it Fotozelle ist für den Studioeinsatz optimiert worden. Direktes und starkes einfallendes
Halogenlicht reduziert die Empfindlichkeit der Fotozelle.
Kompakt Kameras mit integriertem Blitz und der Anti Red-Eye Funktion konnten bisher mit
herkömmlichen Studioblitzanlagen nicht verwendet werden, da die Fotozelle schon mit dem ersten Vorblitz synchronisieren würde. Die Eye-Cell kann automatisch oder manuell so programmiert
werden das sie Vorblitze ignoriert und erst mit dem Hauptblitz synchronisiert.
