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 flash tube or lamp before the unit has cooled down and is disconnected from the mains (min 30mn).
•Do not fire flashes from short distance (less than 1m) directed at a person and avoid looking directly into the flashlight!
•Keep a min. 1m distance from any flammable materials.
•Keep generally distance to other operating units.
Transport
•Transport the flash 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 flash unit (danger of flashtube breakage)
Power cable
To guarantee safe operation, use the cable supplied.
•The cable has to be HAR-certified or VDE-certified. The mark HAR or VDE will appear on the outer sheath.
•The cable set must be selected according to the rated current for your flash unit.
•Do not use a multiple adapter to connect one or more flash units per single mains socket.
•Flash systems store electrical energy in capacitors by applying high voltage.
•For your safety, never open or disassemble your flashes.
!• 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.
•Do not connect on the fllash unit to mains supply without mounted modelling lamp or fllash tube due to high voltage at the contacts!
Life Danger!

Included basic features |
English |
The following basic features are easy to access and they are similar to previous Elinchrom compact flashes.
•Flash power up and down buttons
•Modelling lamp mode button (prop / min /max / off)
•Photocell on / off button
•Ready charge beep on / off button
•Test-flash button
•3.5 mm synchronisation socket
•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 confiiguring 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.

Before you start ! |
English |
The D-Lite it (Multivoltage) units are adapted for operation on 90 - 260V/50 - 60Hz. Before connecting for the first time, check to make sure that your Modelling Lamp coincides with the voltage. They must always be connected to an earthed ( grounded) mains supply. All D-Lite it units have a bayonet mount and locking ring fitting, for fixing all Elinchrom and Prolinca accessories.
The Refllector Bayonet supports Refllectors and Softboxes up to 1.5 kg, e.g. Rotalux 100 x 100 cm . Mount the unit securely to a suitable stand or support.
Remove the black protective cover. DO NOT operate the unit without first removing the black protective cover.
Operating instructions
1.Check that the modelling lamp voltage is correct.
2.Check that the mains switch (2) is in the position OFF ("O" position).
3.Insert the mains cable into the MAINS INLET (1) and connect this to a FULLY EARTHED OUTLET 4.Using the mains SWITCH (2), switch the unit ON ("I" position).
5.Connect the synchro cord to its socket (5). 6.Select the power with the touch pad (10)
(A) Locking ring
(B) Protective cover (26124)
Switch and fuse
Mains supply
Use only the Elinchrom mains cord. Switch off the unit before the mains cord is connected to the mains plug.
Mains fuse
Standard type 5 x 20 mm, use only tempered fuse 8 AT (code 19022) for D-Lite it
Note: Before exchanging a blown fuse, switch off the unit and remove the mains cable. Open the little drawer in the mains plug with a screwdriver and replace the fuse with the spare fuse, which is placed in its support in this drawer. (N.B. Please don’t forget to check the correct value of the fuse!).
Fuse for modelling light
Fast type 5 x 20mm, 2.5 AF
Switch off the unit and replace the blown fuse with a new one of the correct value.
The fastblow fuse will protect the triac of the modelling lamp circuit, the lamp and therefore the flash tube.

Eye-CELL Setup |
English |
Intelligent Photocell-Sensor |
|
The Eye-Cell offers new features and can detect camera pre-flashes (anti red eye effect). To customise the pre-flash settings, please follow the instructions in paragraph 3.
Eye-Cell Functions
1.Standard Photocell mode
2.Eye-Cell pre-flash mode
3.Setup number of pre-flashes manually or set to automatic detection
4.Setup pre-flash timings! Only for advanced users!
1.Using the Standard Photocell Mode
Push “Cell” button, for less than 0.5 seconds to switch on/off the standard Photocell sensor.
LED Indication:
Cell LED is ON: Active photocell. Cell LED is OFF: Inactive photocell.
If active, the Photocell sensor will trigger the flash unit with any recognized flash impulse.
2. Eye-Cell Pre-Flash Mode
(This is only activation, not the setup. To Setup, follow step 3)
Press the Cell button for approx. 1 second; the status LED starts flashing.
LED Indication:
Cell LED flashes in slow intervals; the Eye-Cell pre-flash mode is activated. Cell LED is OFF; the Eye-Cell pre-flash mode is inactive.
Function:
In active mode the unit ignores up to 6 anti-red-eye flashes and synchronizes / triggers only with the last main flash. This is useful where if the camera anti-red eye pre-flashes can’t be switched
off.
3. Automatic Eye-Cell Pre-Flash Setup “c.0”
Press the Cell button for 4 seconds until display shows “c.X” for automatic setup. (“X” is the number of pre-flashes including main flash from 1 up to 7)
Scroll with the “Flash-Power” up and down button to “c.0”
Now use the camera-on flash and release a test exposure. The camera will release several antired eye flashes (if activated). The D-Lite it Eye-Cell detects the number of flashes the camera released and stores the value automatically, and switches back to Eye-Cell Pre-flash mode. Ready to use.
! If the cell button was pressed down for 6 seconds the “Setup Pre-Flash Timeframe” is activated and the display shows t.4 or b.1 (standard settings). Do not change these values; this would deactivate the “Automatic Eye-Cell Mode”! Wait a few seconds, the unit switches back to the standard mode and the display shows the flash power settings. Should the t.4 or b.1 values have been changed, please set the “Setup Pre-Flash Timeframe” back to standard settings as descript at paragraph 4.
10
4. Manual Eye-Cell Pre-Flash Setup
A. Press Cell button approx. 4 seconds until display shows “c.X”.
(“X” is the number of settable pre-flashes plus the main flash from 1 up to 7)
B.With “Flash-Power” up and down button, set the number of pre-flashes incl. mainflash.
C.The display switches back to normal mode after approx. 4 seconds if no button is pressed. The settings are automatically stored.
D.Cell LED flashes in fast intervals if the Eye-Cell pre-flash mode is active.
> Recall The Eye-Cell Settings:
If you want to recall the actual Eye-Cell pre-fllash setting, repeat the steps A.
If you want to control the actual Eye-Cell pre-fllash setting, repeat the steps A to D.
5. Setup Pre-Flash Timeframe (only for advanced users)
Change manufacturer settings only in case of problems with the auto-detection
!of your camera pre-flashes.
>Setting:
•Press Cell button for more than 6 seconds until display shows “t.X” (“X” is the value from 1 to 8)
•Use the Cell button to toggle between “t.X” and “b.X” settings.
•Use the “Flash-Power” up and down buttons to change the values.
•The display switches back to normal mode after approx. 4 seconds if no button is pressed.
The settings are automatically stored.
•Standard settings are:
---> t.4 (t. is the time window of all released anti red-eye flashes incl. the main flash).
---> b.1 (b. is the minimum time delay between two anti red-eye flashes incl. the main flash).
Pre-Flash Timeframe Setting “t.X
t. is the time window of all released anti red-eye flashes incl. the mainflash. Change setting only when the pre-flash procedure is longer than the manufacturer settings.
Set the value t. between 1 and 8 to ensure that all pre-flashes including the main flash are inside the time frame.

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.

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. |

Die Blitzund 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.

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.

Eye-Cell – Intelligente Multifunktionale Photozelle
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.
