Thanks for showing us your confidence by investing in a Profoto P ro-7 system. F or more than three decades we have sought the per fect light. What pushes us is the convic- tion that we can even offer the most demanding photographer yet better tools.
”A photographer ’s tools are a natural part of the creative process. Like a painter ’s br ush, an artist’s chisel or a musician’s instr ument, their for m and design should reflect their function, they should have the right feel, and they should be aesthetically pleasing”.

ProHead The modelling light is turned on and off with the black switch [1] at the back of the head. 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 .
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 .

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 for ward and backwards, as well as upwards and downwards, most cameras can be attached.

Connect the generator to the mains supply with the enclosed power cable [1]. The green lamp [3] should now light up indicating acceptable AC current to the generator . • Connect the desired lamp heads to the sockets A, B1 & B2 [2]. • Use the control [15] marked MOD.
Pro-7a 1200/2400 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.
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 necessar y as long as the dial MASTER is turned to MAX.
Connecting Camera and Flash Meter The two sync sockets [9] allow the camera and flash meter to be connected simultaneously . The 5 meter sync cord can without restrictions be elongated with a sync extension cable. Con- necting generators can be done by means of the Profoto sync interconnection cord or by so called ”hard wiring”.
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] SL A VE is released.
• The generator will now recharge for an overexposed frame, which is indicated by the ready lamp lighting up for longer periods. • Shoot the second frame • The generator will now recharge for an.
Signals, Visible & Audible The green indicator [3] below the handle will light up when the generator is connected to the mains supply . The white ready lamp button [11] will light up when the generator is fully charged. The characteristics of the light var y (please see ”Autobracketing” page 20).
Colour T emperature The Pro-7 generators are perfectly suited for critical analouge (film) and digital shoots. The colour temperature is constant and reliable regardless of the energy output chosen with the dials A, B1 & B2. The colour temperature can be adjusted with the MASTER control [6].

Pro-7s 1200/2400 27 Mains Connection Use the included power cable to connect to the mains power supply . The generator can be connected to all common mains voltages 90-240V and 50-60Hz. The generator automatically senses which voltage range is supplied.
Connecting L amp Heads One or two lamp heads can be connected to the lamps head sockets [2]. When connecting the lamp head plug, align the dots on the plug with the white dot on the generator panel. Secure by turn- ing the locking ring on the plug clockwise.
Pro-7s 1200/2400 29 Connecting Camera & Flash Meter The two sync sockets [7] allow the camera and flash meter to be connected simultaneously . The 5 M sync cord can be extended without limitations with sync extension cords. F urther sync connections can be made with the Profoto sync interconnection cable or by so called ”hard wiring”.

Pro-7b 35 Brief Instr uctions • Connect the desired number of lamp heads to sockets A & B. • Start charging by pushing the button ON [12]. The ready lamp [8] will light up when the generator is fully charged. • The generator can be activated from OFF position by means of a sync signal from a camera.
Changing Battery By putting the two handles at the bottom together the batter y cassette is released and the batter y can easily be pulled out. A new batter y is pushed all the way into the generator and is locked by directing the handles away from each other .
Pro-7b 37 head is connected to B half the energy is obtained if the SYM/ASYM switch is in position A 1/1 (1/2), B 1/2. If the switch is in the position A 1/2, B 1/4 a quarter of the chosen energy is obtained.
38 R echarging The recharging starts when the ON/OFF switch [12] is pushed down. Slow or fast recharging can be chosen. When the button F AST [10] is released, the generator will recharge slowly . Push the F AST button [10] for nor mal recharging cycles; this is sufficient for most kinds of photog- raphy .
Pro-7b 39 Safety F unctions If the generator for any reason whatsoever overheats, the recharging will completely stop. Af ter a while, when the temperature has gone down sufficiently , the generator will start recharging at a normal pace again. No recharging can take place when the red light of the batter y indicator is on.
40 Colour T emperature The Pro-7 generators are perfectly suited for critical analouge (film) and digital shoots. The colour temperature is constant with a variation of a maximum of +/- 150° Kelvin. PLEASE NOTE: combining flash tubes and/or glass covers with different coatings can make even more distinctive colour temperature adjustments.
