When the generator is connected to operating voltages other than those specified, the modelling light may vary somewhat from its nominal intensity. However, re-trimming can be performed by any workshop authorized to service Profoto products. IMPORTANT: When the unit is not going to be used for a while the mains plug should be disconnected. This is necessary, so that automatic safety mechanism (pulse charging) can start up when the unit is put in use again. When the generator is pulse charging, or when initial charging is taking place, charging time can be considerably longer than normal (60 sec. In extreme cases, it can take several minutes. The PF Flash Head: The flashtube is mounted in a protective, frosted glass cover on a ceramic base. The base has three metal pins for insertion into the flash head. These are placed asymmetrically, so that it is not possible to insert the flashtube incorrectly. The flashtube is secured to the head with a safety catch. When mounting or dismounting the flashtube, hold out the safety catch to let the flashtube socket pass. Care must be taken when mounting or changing the flashtube not to damage the modelling lamp. The Twin Flash Head: The two flashtubes are mounted under a removable glass cover. When changing the flashtubes, dismount the glass cover by pressing together the two locking pins on the flash head, then lifting off the cover. The two flashtubes are mounted separately, each on its own ceramic base with metal pins, which permits the user to change the tubes independent of each other. After the glasscover has been removed, the modelling lamp can be changed in the standard manner. 14. THE CIRCUIT BREAKER The flash generator is equipt with an automatic circuit breaker which protects both the generator and the flash heads from overload. If overload occurs, the button controlling the fuse will protrude from the panel, signifying a warning. The fuse will regain its function when the button is pushed in again. Because the circuit breaker governs only the modelling light and has no effect on the flash, the flash can still be used with the fuse in "warning" position, but the modelling light will not function. IMPORTANT: If the circuit breaker is in "warning" position, find the cause of the overload before returning the fuse to normal status. 13. MAINS CONNECTION The Pro-5 is designed for AC connection only. [. . . ] AUTOMATIC SAFETY FUNCTIONS In case of malfunction, charging will be aborted after 42 seconds. Simultaneously, an audible signal will be activated, sounding repetitive long signals. The signals can be stopped by disconnecting the power cable. Pulse charging of the capacitors allows "gentle" charging after the initial mains connection. [. . . ]
