D4 Profoto D4 – Other Heads

Other Flash Heads

The D4 generators are fully compatible with the line of Acute2, Acute/D4 Heads and the new ProHead. When equipped with a 220-240V/50Hz modelling lamp, PF heads, PB, Pro-6 and Pro-7 heads (except Pro-7b head) can be used at 220-240/50Hz . Profoto does NOT recom- mend the use of these heads with D4 generators at 90-130V, because the fan will not work properly, leading to problems with overheating.

We don't recommend the use of old Acute PAB heads with D4 generators because the missing fan may lead to problems with overheating. We also don’t recommend the use of the discontinued Acute Alfa heads (AB or ABS heads) – at some settings of the D4 generator the fan of these heads doesn’t work properly.

WARNING! Please make sure to configure your D4 to be compatible with Acute/D4 Head or ProHead before you connect a Profoto head with a D4 generator.

Se instructions on page 19-20. Heads used on a D4 generator have to be equipped with a modelling lamp corresponding to the actual mains voltage. But any PF, former Pro-6, Pro-7 head or new ProHead used on a Pro-3, Pro-5, Pro-6, ProPack or Pro-7 generator, must be equipped with a 120V modelling lamp irrespective of the mains voltage.
