User manual PROFOTO PRO-7

[. . . ] Pro-7 Manual Profoto, Stockholm, Sweden. Warning Profoto generators and flash heads are part of a complete professional lighting system. Please read the instruction manual carefully before use. Flash tubes and modelling lights emit considerable heat and can be dangerous if not used properly. Always unplug the lamp cable from the generator before changing modelling light or flash tube. [. . . ] Flash Duration The flash duration can be shortened by reducing the energy output with the dials A and B. The shortest flash duration using a Pro-7 head and a Pro-7a/1200 generator at 1/16 energy is 1/12000 sec. PLEASE NOTE: Reducing the energy output with the MASTER control [6] will not affect the flash duration. (For more details please see "Technical Data" on page 24). Lamp Heads The following are suited for Pro-7a 1200/2400: Pro-7 head Pro-7b head Pro-7 ring Warranty All Profoto products are guaranteed for a period of two years with the exception of flash tubes, glass covers and modelling lamps.

The green lamp [3] should now light up indicating acceptable AC current to the generator. · Connect the lamp head(s) to the socket(s) [2]. [. . . ] A number of short consecutive "beeps" - 16 - can be heard before the generator automatically turns itself off. 38 [8] Safety Functions [9] [10] If the generator for any reason whatsoever overheats, the recharging will completely stop. After a while, when the temperature has gone down sufficiently, the generator will start recharging at a normal pace again. No recharging can take place when the red light of the battery indicator is on. This is a safety feature protecting the battery from harmfully low discharging. [. . . ]
