Profoto ACUTE2 1200 - Manual (Page 10)

The flash heads
10
All Profoto lamp heads are designed for maximum light shap-
ing purposes. The light source (both the flash tube and the mod-
elling lamp) is mounted high and free in the flash head. This
makes it easier for you to adjust the light and use your creativity.
The flash head has a built in holder for the umbrella.
The reflectors lock easily into place and by moving the reflector
different types of light shaping is achieved. All Profoto reflec-
tors and accessories fit the Acute2 heads.
A UV-reduced quartz flash tube is included with all Acute2
heads. The flash tube has two metal pins. When removing a
flash tube, pull it straight out of the sockets. When inserting
a new flash tube, check that the trigger wire clasps properly
around the flash tube (please see mounting instructions in pack-
age).
In case the head overheats the modelling light automatically
switches off. When the temperature has dropped sufficiently the
modelling light will switch on again.
NOTE!
Always unplug the lamp cable from the generator before chang-
ing modelling lamp or flash tube.
