Safety Functions
If the generator for any reason whatsoever overheats, the
recharging will completely stop. After a while, when the
temperature has gone down sufficiently, the generator will
start recharging at a normal pace again. No recharging can
take place when the red light of the battery indicator is on.
This is a safety feature protecting the battery from harmfully
low discharging. There are three fuses on the battery cassette.
One is for the charging circuits and two for the battery.
Furthermore the contacts are short-circuit proof.
PLEASE NOTE: Never store your flash equipment in a car on a
hot and sunny day. Avoid storing the generator close or below the
freezing point, which can lead to loss of capacity (flash output)
and risk of condensation when used in a warmer surrounding
immediately. Do not expose any flash equipment to wet or humid
environments or extreme electro-magnetic fields.
Reliability Testing - The R-Test
The Profoto R-test guarantees that all products leaving the
factory meet the very high standards required of professional equipment by professional pho-
tographers. The R-test is a rigorous performance test that Profoto generators are put through
- 360 full power flashes are released during one hour, which is equivalent to 10 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.
