Connecting Camera & Flash Meter
The two sync sockets [7] allow the camera and flash meter to be connected simultaneously. The
5 M sync cord can be extended without limitations with sync extension cords. Further sync
connections can be made with the Profoto sync interconnection cable or by so called ”hard
wiring”. A slave signal from the photocell can be forwarded through this cable to another flash
generator.
Recharging
The recharging starts when the ON/OFF button is pushed down. The first time the generator is
used after being connected to the mains supply, it will charge to full energy regardless of the
energy control position. This is a safety feature, which is indicated by the ready lamp [9]
flashing. Dump the excess energy by firing a flash and the generator is now ready to be used
with the energy selected. Slow or fast recharging can be chosen. 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. The recharging time is approx. 0.8 sec for
Pro-7s/1200 at full energy and 230V. When extremely short recharging times are required,
for instance when operating a motor-drive camera, choose lower energy settings. The lowest
energy setting offers the fastest recharging rate (0.08 sec).
