Safety Functions

 

 

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

[11]

take place when the red light of the battery indicator is on.

 

This is a safety feature protecting the battery from harmfully

 

low discharging. There are three fuses on the battery cassette.

 

One is for the charging circuits and two for the battery.

 

Furthermore the contacts are short-circuit proof.

 

 

PLEASE NOTE: Never store your flash equipment in a car on a

[12]

hot and sunny day. Avoid storing the generator close or below the

 

freezing point, which can lead to loss of capacity (flash output)

 

and risk of condensation when used in a warmer surrounding

 

 

immediately. Do not expose any flash equipment to wet or humid

 

environments or extreme electro-magnetic fields.

 

 

Reliability Testing - The R-Test

 

[13]

The Profoto R-test guarantees that all products leaving the

factory meet the very high standards required of professional equipment by professional pho- tographers. The R-test is a rigorous performance test that Profoto generators are put through

-360 full power flashes are released during one hour, which is equivalent to 10 rolls of 35 mm film.

After the test the equipment is examined to see that all parts have kept a normal operating temperature and are not malfunctioning in any way. All Profoto products are subjected to the R-test prior to being shipped.
