Generator features
The Pro-B MainsDock unit has some impact on the features of the flash generator.
Battery indicator
When the generator is powered from the Pro-B MainsDock unit, the Battery Indicator on
the generator will always have a steady red light. This is fully normal. The reason is that the
Pro-B MainsDock unit operates on a slightly lower voltage level than the battery.
recycling time
The recycling time of the generator is generally longer when used with the Pro-B
MainsDock, compared to when the generator is powered from the battery. The recycling
9
time depends on the energy setting, as specified in section Technical data.
Modeling light
When the generator is powered from the Pro-B MainsDock unit, the modeling light can be
continuously on. (Not applicable to Pro-7b generators, which automatically turn off the
modeling light after maximum 60 seconds.)
Pro B Heads may become overheated if continuously on, and automatically turns off if
overheated. For continuous light, Pro Heads are recommended instead.
charger
When the generator is powered from the Pro-B MainsDock unit, no charger shall be
connected to the generator.
