User manual PROFOTO PROPACK

[. . . ] Note that when the control is set at OFF, the ready lamp (9) is extinguished. The generator is now charged to the chosen energy and the white ready lamp (9) will light up. Connect synchro cord and/or flash meter to the sync socket(s) marked SYNC (7). CONNECTING LAMP HEADS One or two lamp heads can be connected to the lamp head sockets (2). [. . . ] To keep the modelling light 7 proportionally aligned between the two generators, the ProPack is set to 1/2 modelling light position as the flash energy is half of the Pro-6/2400. When connecting two lamp heads, or a Pro Twin Head, the modelling light proportionality is automatically adjusted. 7. PHOTOCELL The built-in photocell (6) will sense flash release as well as R-signals from most IRtransmitters. The photocell is disabled when the button marked SLAVE (8) is released. 5 . SYNCHROCONNECTION The two sync sockets (7) allow the camera and flash meter to be connected simultaneously. The 5m synchro cord can be extended without limitations with synchro extension cords. Further sync connections can be made with Profoto's synchro interconnection cable. A slave signal from the photocell can be forwarded through this cable to another flash generator. 8. VISIBLEAND AUDIBLESIGNALS The green indicator (3) underneath the handle will light up, when the generator is connected and receiving power from the mains supply. The white ready lamp (9) will light up when the generator is fully (re)charged. The button will not light up when the modelling light control (12) is turned OFF. After the first initial charge, when connected to the mains supply, or when the energy output has been changed the white ready lamp (9) will blink. After the following recharge the white ready lamp (9) will light constantly. When the generator is fully (re)charged a short "beep" will be heard. This signal can be turned off by releasing the button marked SOUND (10). If a flash is released before the generator is fully charged a long "beep" will sound, indicating underexposed picture. 6. When the button marked FAST (11) is released, the generator 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. Press down the FAST button (11) for normal recharging cycles; this is sufficient for most kinds of photography. SAFETY FUNCTIONS The first charge, after connecting the unit to mains supply, is always made to maximum energy for capacitor formation. This is important in order to avoid damage after leaving the generator unused for some time. If the generator overheats for any reason a protective system will automatically start up 9 and the recharging will stop. [. . . ] Distinctive colour temperature adjustments can be obtained by combining flashtubes and/or glass covers with different coatings. 14. WARRANTY All Profoto's products are guaranteed for a period of 2 years, with the exception of flashtubes and modelling lamps. Products purchased for rental purposes are guaranteed for 3 months. 11 15. in meters at 100 ASA Magnum 50" reflector Notes ProPack 140 1 /1300 sec. [. . . ]
