Warning
Never use ordinary household extension cords to elongate the power cable.They may overheat.Always unwind cord reel extension winders fully before use. Contact your Profoto dealer for proper equipment.
Due to the two stage SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) technology, the
Energy control
The selected energy levels for channel A and B are shown in Flash Light Energy Display A [6] and B [17].
The
In
The maximal energy for channel A is 10.0 (100%) and the maximal energy for channel B 9.0 (50%).The maximal energy in total for the two channels is 100%.
Flash Light Energy Control A [8] and Control B [19] are used to adjust the energy levels for channel A and B respectively:
•Turn the control clockwise to increase the energy in 1/10
•Press and hold down the control (a “beep” will sound) and turn the control clockwise to increase the energy in 1
Modeling light
The Modeling Light Switch [9] is used to turn on/off the modeling light for channel A and B simultaneously. When the modeling light is on, the Modeling Light Switch knob [9] is illuminated.
The Modeling Light Control [7] is used to select one of four modeling light alternatives:
•PROP: The modeling light intensity for each lamp head is automatically adjusted to correspond in proportion
•½ PROP:The modeling light intensity is adjusted automatically in proportion as for PROP when the energy level is changed, but with half modeling light intensity of the designated energy. Half proportional modeling light is used when generators of different sizes are used together;
•MAX:The modeling lamp gets the maximal intensity, regardless of the flash light energy settings.
•MAX PROP:Maximal proportional modeling light is used when maximal light is needed on one channel (the one with highest energy level).The highest set channel will get maximal intensity and the other will correspond proportionally. Therefore the modeling light may change on a channel which is not adjusted.
If Pro Studio2 is used to control the generators,a Smart Prop function is available.It is similar to the MAX PROP setting, but the intensity proportions match all lamps and generators.
Sync signaling
The
•The two Sync Connectors [2] allow the camera and a flash meter to be connected simultaneously.The 5 meter sync cable can without restrictions be elongated with a sync extension cable. The bidirectional optical isolated Profoto sync interconnection cable is recommended to be used to prevent ground reference interference when connecting sync cables between different generators.
•The
•The Profoto Air remote radio control system is integrated in all
The Sync Control [5] is used to control the sync signaling:
•RADIO:The generator is set to sync via radio.
•SET: Enables setting of radio channel and group.
•OFF:The generator is set to sync via cable.
•SLAVE:The generator is set to sync via photocell / IR.
Ready signaling
Ready signaling is used to indicate when the generator is 100% fully charged.The Ready Control [16] is used to select one of four ready signaling alternatives:
