Page 2: Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions Profoto generators and flash heads are part of a complete professional lighting system. Please read the instruction manual carefully before use. Flash tubes and modelling lights emit considerable heat and can be dangerous if not used properly. Always unplug the lamp cable from the generator before changing modelling light, glass cover or flash tube. -

filtration, for greater changes. The whole Pro-7 system is modular. Every single reflector and accessory creates its spe- cial light and the unique Profoto focusing system offers you a possibility to create your own light with only a few different reflectors. - Page 5 Profotos founders Eckhard Heine och Conny Dufgran, At ”Photokina”, Cologne, Germany 1968 ”A photographer’s tools are a natural part of the creative process. Like a painter’s brush, an artist’s chisel or a musician’s instrument, their form and design should reflect their function, they should have the right feel, and they should be aesthetically pleasing”.

The built-in fan can easily be switched between continuous and thermostat-controlled operations [2]. Please note that when changing modelling light, flash tube or glass cover the lamp cable must be disconnected from the generator. -
Page 9: Pro-7B Head
Pro-7b head The Pro-7b head is a small and easily transportable flash head exclusively designed for the Pro-7b generator. Please note that when changing modelling light, flash tube or glass cover the lamp cable must be disconnected from the genera- tor. -
Page 10: Protwin
ProTwin 10.15.18 10.15.19 10.15.20 10.15.21 10.15.23 The ProTwin is used to obtain extremely short flash duration, very quick recycling or to get 4800 Ws out of one single head. There are two flash tubes in a ProTwin. As the flash duration is shorter at low power settings, and as only half of the desired power is used in each tube, consequently shorter flash duration is obtained. - Page 11 or glass cover the lamp cable must be disconnected from the generator. The modelling light has a mini-can socket (E11). 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 package).

Page 12: Pro-7 Ring
Pro-7 ring The ring flash fits all Pro-7 generators, and is an entirely mobile source of light. The interior diameter of 100 mm pro- vides plenty of space for professional camera lenses. Since the camera holder can be tilted forward and backwards, as well as upwards and downwards, most cameras can be attached. - Page 13 Pro-7 Generators...

Page 17: Energy Distribution
Energy Distribution When only one lamp head is in use, choose the A socket. Only the A socket can be used to release the generator’s total energy to one lamp head. Use dial A to adjust energy in 1/3 f:stop increments from full (1/1) down to (1/8) energy, which is equivalent to four [4] f:stops. -
Page 18: Energy Control
PLEASE NOTE! The energy output is determined by the energy dials A and B. The energy out- put will remain consistent, regardless of which lamp sockets are used or the number of lamp heads connected to them. Energy dumping is not necessary as long as the dial MASTER is turned to MAX. -

The 5 meter sync cord can without restrictions be elongated with a sync extension cable. Con- [15] necting generators can be done by means of the Profoto sync interconnection cord or by so called ”hard wiring”. Recharging The recharging starts when the push-button [4] is activated. Slow, fast or turbo recharge can be chosen. -

Photocell The built-in photocell [8] will sense flash release as well as IR-signals from most IR-trans- mitters. The photocell is disabled when the button [10] SLAVE is released. Bracketing Manual exposure variations are performed as follows: • Point the MASTER control [6] at the arrow and release an ”open” flash by pressing the test button [11]. -
