User manual PROFOTO PRO-7

[. . . ] Pro-7 Manual Profoto, Stockholm, Sweden. Warning Profoto generators and flash heads are part of a complete professional lighting system. Flash tubes and modelling lights emit considerable heat and can be dangerous if not used properly. Always unplug the lamp cable from the generator before changing modelling light or flash tube. Never place filters or diffusing material directly onto glass covers, flash tubes or modelling lights. [. . . ] The R-test is a rigorous performance test that Profoto generators are put through - 720 full power flashes are released during one hour, which is equivalent to 20 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. 22 [11] Colour Temperature [12] [16] The colour temperature is constant and reliable regardless of the energy output chosen with the dials A, B1 & B2. Each 1/6 increment reduces the colour temperature by 50° Kelvin, which means a total downscale of 400° Kelvin. PLEASE NOTE: combining flash tubes and/or glass covers with different coatings can make even more distinctive colour temperature adjustments. Flash Duration The flash duration can be shortened by reducing the energy output with the dials A and B. The shortest flash duration using a Pro-7 head and a Pro-7a/1200 generator at 1/16 energy is 1/12000 sec. PLEASE NOTE: Reducing the energy output with the MASTER control [6] will not affect the flash duration. Lamp Heads The following are suited for Pro-7a 1200/2400: Pro-7 head Pro-7b head Pro-7 ring Warranty All Profoto products are guaranteed for a period of two years with the exception of flash tubes, glass covers and modelling lamps. Products purchased for rental purposes are guaranteed for three months.

Please note that you always need a ProGas unit between the gas generator and the Profoto generator in order not to damage these two units (only 230V).

The green lamp [3] should now light up indicating acceptable AC current to the generator. The white ready lamp [9] flashes the first time the generator is charged indicating that "dumping" of energy is needed. · Choose the desired energy output with the ENERGY control [5]. [. . . ] Signals, Audible & Visible One of the indicator lights for the battery charge [3] will light up once the generator is turned on. The charge indicator [3] is up-dated when the generator is turned on or when a flash is fired. When all lights light up the generator has no charging value - fire a flash. When the energy output is changed the white ready lamp [8] turns off thus indicating that dumping of the energy is in progress. [. . . ]
