Elinchrom ELB400 overheat e2 issue

Hey guys,
Been a while since I was one here!

I recently purchased the elinchrom elb400 Hisync to go kit, and started to use it.

Twice now I've come up with an issue where the elb400 displays an error - e2 - overheat - wait for unit to cool down" (paraphrasing)

Has anyone come across this with their elb or quadra packs?

Anyway I can minimise this ?

It happened on two weddings over the weekend. Unit at or near full power in the sun. Not particularly used hard - ie consecutive shots. Used in regular sync mode and not the Hisync function ...

Turning it off and on let's it work again, but it goes to the and error pretty quickly...

Many many
Thanks

Jonathan

I have both the Quadra and ELB400 and have never experienced that.

To me it sounds like you got a faulty unit.

Can you easily replicate the issues by firing the pack at max for a period of time ?
