Functionality
Glass cover
The ProTungsten Air unit is equipped with a protective glass cover, which protects from
lamp shatter. Unless the glass cover is correctly mounted (see page 11) it is not possible
to turn on the ProTungsten Air unit.
SAFETY PRECAUTION!
A damaged (cracked or scratched) glass cover must never be used! Only use Profoto specified lamps.
The protective glass cover is available in different versions; with frosted and clear glass.
Power supply
The ProTungsten Air unit can be connected to any mains voltage between 100-240VAC,
50 or 60 Hz. The power supply fuse must not be smaller than specified in the section
Technical data.
NOTICE –
Always make sure that the rated voltage of the bulb corresponds with mains
voltage!
Reflector
By mounting a reflector and placing it in different positions, using the Zoom Scale [12],
several light shapes can be created for each lighting purpose. The unique rubber collar
fastening system provides secure and rapid handling of the reflectors, also when hot.
Light intensity
The current light intensity is shown in the Display [1], in percent (%) of maximum light
output.
The Setting Knob [6] is used to adjust the light intensity, in 1 % or 10 % increments.
Remote control
The Profoto Air radio system is fully integrated in the ProTungsten Air unit, allowing
wireless remote control.
With the Profoto Air Remote device, the ProTungsten Air unit can be turned on/off remotely
and the light intensity can be adjusted. With the Profoto Studio Air software, multiple
lighting setups including numerous continuous lights and flash units can be created and
coordinated.
For more information about remote control, please refer to the User’s Guides for Profoto
Air Remote or Profoto Air USB/Profoto Studio Air.
