weakly. Once LED (15) lights brightly, the unit
is ready to fire.
Functions of LED (15):
WEAK glow: Unit is charging
OFF: Discharging (from high to
lower power or after
operation of thermal circui
breaker, item 14)
Lights BRIGHTLY, goes out briefly:
Unit ready to fire.
5. Power supply
The units are factory-set for 220 - 240V /
50 - 60Hz or 110 - 130V / 50 - 60Hz AC. Be-
fore connecting to the power supply, check
whether your rated voltage agrees with the
operating voltage specified on nameplate
(17).
6. Switching on the modeling light
After switching the unit on with the red master
switch (6), you may turn on the modeling light
using the dark-grey switch (7). When the mo-
deling light is on, the LED above the switch
will light red. The brightness of the modeling
light varies in proportion with the flash output
selected.
Profilux units for 220 - 240 V:
Profilux 200 comes with a 75 W halogen tube,
Profilux 400 with 150 W and 600 with 250 W
halogen tubes. These tubes are compatible
with all Profilux models. A 250 W halogen
tube is available as an optional accessory.
This is also suited for use in any of the three
models. The halogen tubes do not need
any special fuse within the unit and have a
burning life of 2000 hours.
Profilux units for 110 - 130 V:
All units come with a 120 V / 200 W halogen
tube with GX 6.35 base. This tube needs its
own F 2 A fuse housed at the front of the unit
(24) as well as a protective Pyrex globe (25).
To change the globe, see item 15.
7. Output control
Flash output can be continuously varied from
approx. 12.5% to 100% (over a range of four f-
stops). Flash and halogen light have a fixed re-
lationship and are varied proportionally to each
other. When you reduce the power setting,
excessive energy is dissipated within the unit;
LED (15) does NOT light during this period.

8. 100% modeling light
With the aid of switch (12), the modeling light can
be switched from proportional to 100% output,
regardless of the flash output selected with
knob (4). Halogen 100%: LED above switch
(12) lights red.
9. Optical and acoustic firing monitor
The units provide optical and acoustic firing
control that can be activated with switch (13).
Switch (13) depressed/LED above switch (13)
lit red: After firing, the modeling light will go out
until the unit is once more ready to fire. When
using several units it is thus easy to check
whether all units have fired.
Switch (13) in opposite position/LED above
switch (13) OFF: An acoustic signal sounds
after firing; the optical monitor is deactivated.
10. Synchronization
Plug the sync cable into terminal (17) in the
base of the unit and connect it to the camera.
Slaves can be fired via the photocell (3). This
also doubles as an infrared sensor.
11. Changing reflectors
All reflectors have a bayonet mount and can be
locked in the bayonet (23) with slide (1).
Slide set to A = Mount open.
Slide set to B = Mount locked.
Move slide (1) to A, insert the reflector in the
mount, and turn clockwise to lock. To remove
the reflector, proceed in the reverse order. Use
umbrellas exclusively with COMSCH umbrella
reflector which includes the umbrella holder.
12. Changing the flash and halogen tubes
Switch unit off and pull the power plug. Remo-
ve reflector and other accessories.
Profilux units for 220 - 240 V:
Halogen tube with bayonet mount. Lightly press
tube (20) inwards and, keeping it depressed,
turn through º revolution counterclockwise.
Profilux units for 110 - 130 V:
Remove Pyrex globe (25); see item 15. With-
draw halogen tube.
Remove tube and replace with new one, taking
care not to touch the new tube with your fin-
gers. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Before changing the flash tube, switch the unit
off, pull the power plug and wait for about one
hour to allow the capacitors to discharge. Then
carefully withdraw flash tube (19) and replace
