9.4 (660Ws). The maximum output of outlet B is always limited to 9.4 (660Ws) in NORMAL 
mode. NORMAL mode is configured for short flash duration and optimal color temperature.  
See more in section 

Flash duration & Mode control

By setting the Mode Control [13] to MASTER, the energy level will be simultaneously 
adjusted for outlets A and B. Either Control A [16] or Control B [17] can then be used to 
adjust the energy level for both outlets.

noTe:

The generator has auto dump functionality and will automatically discharge if the output is lowered. The auto 
dumping is primarily for safety reasons in service and therefore quite slow. To save time a flash can be triggered to 
discharge the generator when the output is lowered.

flash duration & Mode control

Pro-B4 has very short flash durations on all energy settings. Even at full output it is as short 
as 1/2,400s. Short flash duration has more advantages than freezing a moving object, for 
example to cut out exposure influence from indoor ambient light as well as direct sunlight. 

The flash duration can be displayed in the Displays A [14] and B [15], by pushing the Display 
Button [6]. When flash duration is selected, 1/s is shown in the Indicator Display [7].

The flash duration varies with the energy level setting, see section Technical data. The 
shortest flash duration is obtained when the Mode Control [13] is selected to FREEZE mode 
and the energy is set  4.7 f-stop (25.4 Ws). The flash duration in this setting is 1/25,000s.

As has been indicated the flash duration is depending on Mode Control [13] setting. The 
modes are configured for different applications of photography.

•  FREEZE: Optimized for extremely short flash duration and fast recycling. Recommended 

for applications where extremely short flash durations or extremely fast image 
sequences are required.

•  NORMAL: Optimized for a stable light output and neutral color temperature. The flash 

duration is kept short on all power settings. This setting is recommended for most 
applications.

•  MASTER: As NORMAL mode but energy on output A and B is simultaneously adjusted 

if turning either Control A [16] or Control B [17].

noTe: 

Setting Mode to NORMAL or MASTER will change the possibilities to adjust light output on both outlets. See more 
in section
