Gas generator
Most gas generators with an output of 2000W or more can
operate an Acute2 generator. Please note that you must use
a ProGas2 unit between the gas generator and the Acute2
generator to prevent damage to these two units if the gas
generator operates at 230V. For more detailed information
please see below or contact your local Profoto dealer. With
a gas generator with an output of 3000W or more 2 Acute2
generators can be operated.
A.
Make sure the petrol-electric generator set produces at
least 2000W continuous output power for each connected unit.
Always check this figure against the data sheet, as the model
number does not always reflect the true power output. NOTE:
Generators less powerful than 2000W should never be used.
B.
Use one 'ProGas2' (order no. 10 02 17) for each connected
Acute 2 flash unit, if a 220-240V petrol-electric generator
set is being used. The 'ProGas2' is designed to protect your
Acute2 flash unit from damaging voltage fluctuations, which
may occur when a 220-240V petrol-electric generator set
is used. The 'ProGas2' should be connected between the
220-240V petrol-electric generator set and the flash unit.
NOTE: It is not necessary to use the 'ProGas2' with a 117V
generator set.
