Profoto ComPact 300 - Manual (Page 11)

MODELLING LAMP (4)
The modelling light consists of a lamp that is fed directly
from the mains. It is therefore important to check that
the lamp has a rated voltage that matches that of the
mains. The lamp supplied as standard is a 150 - 250W
halogen lamp with an E27 base (ComPact Special 300
and ComPact Special 600) or a 500W halogen lamp with
an E11 Minican base with the ComPact 1200.
The ComPact 300 and ComPact 600 can also be
supplied with a normal 100W lamp with an E27 base.
To improve the correspondence between the modelling
light and flash, the flash tube and modelling lamp is
enclosed in a frosted glass cover (standard in all models
with halogen modelling lamps).
BEFORE YOU CHANGE THE MODELLING LAMP OR
FLASH TUBE, DISCHARGE THE POWER IN THE UNIT
BY PRESSING THE TEST BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME
AS SWITCHING OFF THE MAIN SWITCH.
READY LAMP/TEST BUTTON (5)
The ready lamp/test button has two functions. First, it
lights up when the unit is fully charged. Second, it can
be used to manually sync (trigger) the unit (open flash).
When a lower energy setting is chosen , trigger a flash
so that the unit can recycle for the new energy setting.
PHOTOCELL
The units has a built-in photocell. The photocell in
the unit serves as a slave sync when another flash is
triggered. The photocell is automatically disabled
when a sync cable is plugged in.
