Other Flash Heads
The D4 generators are fully compatible with the line of Acute2, Acute/D4 Heads and the new
ProHead. When equipped with a 220-240V/50Hz modelling lamp, PF heads, PB, Pro-6 and
Pro-7 heads (except Pro-7b head) can be used at 220-240/50Hz . Profoto does NOT recom-
mend the use of these heads with D4 generators at 90-130V, because the fan will not work
properly, leading to problems with overheating.
We don't recommend the use of old Acute PAB heads with D4 generators because the
missing fan may lead to problems with overheating. We also don’t recommend the use of the
discontinued Acute Alfa heads (AB or ABS heads) – at some settings of the D4 generator the
fan of these heads doesn’t work properly.
WARNING! Please make sure to configure your D4 to be compatible with Acute/D4
Head or ProHead before you connect a Profoto head with a D4 generator.
Se instr uctions on page 19-20. Heads used on a D4 generator have to be equipped
with a modelling lamp corresponding to the actual mains voltage. But any PF, former
Pro-6, Pro-7 head or new ProHead used on a Pro-3, Pro-5, Pro-6, ProPack or Pro-7
generator, must be equipped with a 120V modelling lamp irrespective of the
mains voltage.
