VOLTAGE SELECTION (1)
You can choose between two voltage ranges, 90-130V,
60Hz or 180-260V, 50 Hz. The generator should be
switched off.Voltage selection is done by pulling out
and turning the plug-in board on the rear panel of the
generator. You can see the correct mains voltage on the
top of the card, USE ON … VOLTS ONLY. Make sure
you insert the card STRAIGHT.
MAINS (AC) CONNECTION (2)
The generator is designed for AC connection only. It can
be connected to the most common mains voltages:
90-130V, 60Hz or 180-260V, 50Hz. Before mains
connection make sure that the operating voltage key
card matches (plug-in board) the mains voltage.
When charging the mains voltage the modelling lamp
must also be changed.Connect the unit to the mains
with the cable included in the delivery.
WA R N I N G ! Never use ordinary household extension
cords to extend the power cable. They may overheat.
Contact your Profoto distribution for proper equipment.
CHARGING (3)
Before charging, check that the plug-in board is showing
the correct voltage. The charging time varies somewhat,
depending on the power you selected and the mains
voltage. The charging time is shortest at the lowest power
and highest voltage. You use the switch marked ON to
start charging. The ComPact 600 and 1200Ws are both
equipped with automatic protection (cutout) against
overheating, which switches off charging. When the
temperature drops, the cutout resets automatically.
This protects the unit against serious faults that could
otherwise result from overheating.
