VOLTAGE SELECTION (1)
Youcan choose between two voltage ranges, 90-130V, 60Hz or 180-260V,50 Hz. The generator should be switched off.Voltageselection is done by pulling out and turning the plug-in board on the rear panel of the generator.Youcan see the correct mains voltage on the top of the card, USE ON … VOLTSONLY.Make sure you insert the card STRAIGHT.
MAINS (AC)CONNECTION (2)
The generator is designed forAC connection only.It can be connected to the most common mains voltages:
90-130V,60Hz or 180-260V,50Hz. Before mains connection make sure that the operating voltage key card matches (plug-in board) the mains voltage. When charging the mains voltage the modelling lamp must also be changed.Connect the unit to the mains with the cable included in the delivery.
WARNING! Never use ordinary household extension cords to extend the power cable. They may overheat. Contact your Profotodistribution for proper equipment.
CHARGING (3)
Before charging, check that the plug-in board is showing the correct voltage. The charging time varies somewhat, depending on the power you selected and the mains voltage. The charging time isshortestatthelowestpower andhighestvoltage.Youuse the switch marked ON to start charging. The ComPact600 and 1200Wsare both equipped with automatic protection (cutout) against overheating, which switches off charging. When the temperaturedrops, the cutout resets automatically. This protects the unit against serious faults that could otherwise result from overheating.
