WARNING

Profoto generators and lamp heads are parts of a complete professional lightning system.

Please read the instruction manual carefully before use. lash tubes and modelling lamps

emit considerable heat and may cause injury if not handled properly. Note, always unplug

the mains plug from the generator before changing the modelling lamp or ﬂash tube.

.Under no circumstances is the generators to be opened. High voltage is inside

the equipment.

.Do not touch hot metal parts.

.Do not obstruct ventilation.

.When using the ﬂash, do not place ﬁlters, diffusing materials, or any other

obstructions directly onto the glass cover, ﬂash tube or modelling lamp.

.Never position the light extremly close to people.

.When mounting umbrellas, do not touch the ﬂash tube or modelling lamp

with the metal shaft - risk of high voltage.

ATTENTION! Service only to be performed by an authorised repair station! Always use

a grounded mains outlet. Note! Under no circumstances is any part of the equipment to be

opened!The equipment is not user-serviceable and there is dangerous high voltage inside!

Thanks for showing us

your conﬁdence by investing in

a Profoto ComPact system.

ormore than threedecadeswehavesoughtthe perfectlight.Whatpushesusistheconviction

that we can offer even the most demanding photographer yet better tools.

Before our products are shipped we have them pass an extensive and strict testing program.

We check that they pass the quality and capacity levels the most demanding photographers

require. or this reason our ﬂash equipment is the standard in most rental studios in New

York and Tokyo and the most rented ﬂash all over the world.

The system consists of a variety of generators built and designed to meet the demands of

the most demanding photographers on this planet.

Quality of ight

Yet the most important thing is the light you create and it is then essential that the system

offers freedom to create your own light.The ComPacts in particular offer you thispossibility.

The light source, both the ﬂash tube and the modelling light, is placed high and free in the

ﬂash head.This makes it easier for you to adjust the light and use your creativity.

The reﬂectors are moveable and lock easily into place. By moving the position of the reﬂector

you can get a higher or lower concentration of light in the center or more of a ﬂood light.

This is not new, of course. Our ﬂash heads have always been designed that way.What is new,

however, is our new glass cover, which is designed to increase precision. The ComPacts are

supplied with a frosted and uncoated glasscover, which together with the ﬂash tube, produce

a colour temperature adapted to daylight colour ﬁlm. There are glass covers with varying

ﬁltration, for greater diversity.

The whole ComPact system is modular. Every single reﬂector and accessory creates its

special light and the unique Profoto focusing system offers you a possibility to create your

own distinctive light using only a few reﬂectors.

Thanks

VO TAGE SE ECTION (1)

You can choose between two voltage ranges, 90-130V,

60Hz or 180-260V, 50 Hz. The generator should be

switched off.Voltage selection is done by pulling out

and turning the plug-in board on the rear panel of the

generator.You can see the correct mains voltage on the

top of the card, USE ON … VOLTS ONLY. Make sure

you insert the card STRAIGHT.

MAINS (AC) CONNECTION (2)

The generator is designed forAC connection only. It can

be connected to the most common mains voltages:

90-130V, 60Hz or 180-260V, 50Hz. Before mains

connection make sure that the operating voltage key

card matches (plug-in board) the mains voltage.

When charging the mains voltage the modelling lamp

must also be changed.Connect the unit to the mains

with the cable included in the delivery.

WARNING! Never use ordinary household extension

cords to extend the power cable. They may overheat.

Contact your Profoto distribution for proper equipment.

CHARGING (3)

Before charging, check that the plug-in board is showing

the correct voltage. The charging time varies somewhat,

depending on the power you selected and the mains

voltage. The charging time is shortestat thelowest power

and highestvoltage.You use the switch marked ON to

start charging. The ComPact 600 and 1200Ws are both

equipped with automatic protection (cutout) against

overheating, which switches off charging. When the

temperature drops, the cutout resets automatically.

This protects the unit against serious faults that could

otherwise result from overheating.
