Connecting Camera and Flash Meter
The two sync sockets [9] allow the camera and flash meter to be connected simultaneously. The 5 meter sync cord can without restrictions be elongated with a sync extension cable. Con- necting generators can be done by means of the Profoto sync interconnection cord or by so called ”hard wiring”.
Recharging
The recharging starts when the push-button [4] is activated. Slow, fast or turbo recharge can be chosen. When the two push-buttons [13] FAST and (14) TURBO are released, the genera- tor will recharge slowly. Choose this alternative when the generator is connected to a mains supply with weak fuses, or if you are uncertain as to how well the mains supply is fused. This is also the case when weak gas generators are used for recharging (please see ”Gas Generator” page 24). With the button [13] FAST activated normal recharging is obtained. This is sufficient for most kinds of photography. The recharging time is 1.1 sec at 1200 Ws and 2.2 sec at 2400 Ws (230 V). When extremely short recharging times are required, as in fashion and sports photography, or when a motor-drive camera is used press the TURBO [14] button. The gener- ator will now recharge extremely fast, in 0.7 sec at 1200 Ws and in 1.4 sec at 2400 Ws. You may blow the mains fuse and consequently this procedure can only take place for a short period of time.
