functionality

Battery

Life Batteries

Profoto uses the most advanced and reliable rechargeable batteries: Lithium Ion Iron

Phosphate (LiFePO4), short – LiFe batteries. These batteries include sophisticated electronics: A special constructed BMS board (Battery Monitoring System) controls and adjusts their output to assure an optimal performance.

LiFe cells offer a very high capacity, are lightweight, stand high loads and are very safe and reliable. The integrated electronics also protect the LiFe battery against deep-discharge and overheating. On top they have a much longer life-time than lead acid batteries and can be used in a wider temperature range. Because of their special construction it is possible to apply the same chargers for LiFe and Pb (lead acid) batteries; this simplifies the combined use of new and old battery generators and allows owners of previous Profoto battery generators to update their packs with the new LiFe batteries.

The AcuteB2 generator is available in two battery versions; LiFe or Lead Acid (Pb). The

AcuteB2 600 AirS LiFe, the AcuteB2 600 344MHz AirS LiFe and the AcuteB2 600 433Mz

AirS LiFe are equipped with a LiFe battery and the AcuteB2 600 AirS Pb with a Pb battery.

The generator cannot be used without a battery in place.

Both battery types can be charged separately or with the battery in place in the generator, using a standard Profoto Charger. The charger is available in two versions, with different charging times, see section Technical data. The generator can be used during charging.

For a long battery Life, the Pb battery shall be charged as often as possible and preferably before the battery is fully discharged. The LiFe battery can be charged from any charge level, but should not be charged for longer time than necessary. Both battery types shall be fully recharged prior to storage.

The capacity of the Pb battery decreases dramatically when the battery temperature falls below freezing 0 °C (+32 ºF). Since the LiFe battery is more capable of handling lower temperatures, we recommend to use the LiFe battery at lower temperatures.

Defective batteries shall be returned to the dealer for recycling. For details about the Pb and LiFe batteries, see section Technical data.

Battery indicator

The Battery Indicator [10] indicates the battery level. The indicator is updated when a flash is triggered. At start up, all three lamps will light up and a flash should be triggered to get an updated battery indication. Because of different discharge characteristics, the Battery

Indicator [10] for a generator with Pb battery will slowly go from max to min, whereas the

Battery Indicator [10] for a generator with LiFe battery will remain on max until it suddenly drops, when there is battery capacity for just a few more flashes.

energy control

The energy output is regulated over seven f-stops.

The energy can partly be adjusted with the Energy Switch [16] in 2 f-stop increments, from

1/1 down to 1/16 of the total energy (equivalent to five f-stops). Fine adjustment of the energy is made with the Energy Control [15] in 2/10 f-stop increments.

Since the generator has auto dump functionality, there is no need to trigger a flash to discharge the generator when the energy level is lowered.

recycling time

The flash recycling time depends on the energy level setting. When a short recycling time is required, the energy level shall be set as low as possible. The recycling time is also affected by the battery type, see section Technical data.

Modeling light

The modeling light is constant and does not vary with the selected energy level. The maximum modeling light is 65 W, which with the high efficient 65 W Halostar TM halogen lamp is equivalent to a 90 W standard halogen lamp.

The Profoto Adapter 85 W can be connected to the generator for unlimited usage of modeling light. When the Profoto Adapter 85 W is connected, no power will be discharged from the battery for the modeling light.

The Modeling Light Switch [11] is used to select one of three modeling light alternatives:

• EXT: This position shall be used when the Profoto Adapter 85 W is connected to the

Modeling Light Power Socket [3].

• BAT: In this position, the modeling lamp is powered from the battery.

• OFF: In this position, the modeling light is turned off.

Sync signaling

The AcuteB2 generator can be synchronized with the camera in different ways; via cable, photocell or via radio.

• The Sync Socket [5] allows the camera or a flash meter to be connected. The 5 meter sync cord can be extended with sync extension cords.

• The Photocell [6] will sense a flash release as well as signals from most IR sync transmitters. The Photocell Switch [7] is used to enable/disable the Photocell [6].

• The Profoto Air radio system is integrated in all AcuteB2 generators, meaning that the generators can be synchronized via a Profoto Air Remote or Profoto Air Sync device.

www.profoto.com

• The AcuteB2 600 AirS 344MHz LiFe and the AcuteB2 600 AirS 433MHz LiFe generators have an integrated radio receiver for synchronization via the Pocket

Wizard device.

Always check the manuals of the camera and synchro device about the shortest possible sync times before taking pictures!

radio operation

The Profoto Air radio receiver is turned on/off with the Radio On/Off Button [12].

The Pocket Wizard radio receiver is always in operation while the generator is powered on. When the Pocket Wizard system is used, it is recommended to turn off the Profoto Air system.

11

For best radio operation (Profoto Air and Pocket Wizard), do the following:

• Keep power, sync and lamp head cords away from the antenna (Pocket Wizard

Antenna [4], Profoto Air Antenna [18]).

• Maintain line of sight between the transmitter (Profoto Air Sync/Remote or Pocket

Wizard) and the generator whenever possible.

• When hiding the generator from view, try to not hide it behind or against metal or water filled objects as this affects radio range.

• For Pocket Wizard: keep the transmitter’s antenna parallel with the generator antenna.

channel selection – Profoto Air

Channel selection is used to select one of eight specific frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band.

The frequencies are evenly spread over the entire frequency band, to optimize reliable functionality. The large number of radio channels makes it possible to select a channel that is not interfered by other photographers using Profoto Air, or by WLAN and Bluetooth devices and other radio equipment operating on the same widely used 2.4 GHz frequency band.

Channel selection on the generator is made with the Channel Button [13]. The Channel

Indicator [14] corresponding to the selected radio channel (1-8) is illuminated.

channel and Zone selection – Pocket Wizard

The Pocket Wizard radio receiver has a learning function, which means that during 30 seconds from power on it will try to detect a trigger signal on any of the 32 channels.

If a trigger signal is detected, the radio receiver will lock to that channel. If no trigger is detected, the radio receiver will use the previously used channel. Actual photo shooting with radio should not be performed during the 30 second learn period, since the result may be unpredictable due to the channel learning process. www.profoto.com

12

The Pocket Wizard radio receiver can also learn multiple zones on the Quad-Triggering channels, 17 through 32. This provides the photographer with the convenience of activating or deactivating the flash unit(s) wirelessly in four separately controllable zones

(ABCD), without leaving the camera position.

Example: The teaching Transmitter is set to channel 17 with zones A, B, and C selected.

If the generator is taught this combination it will trigger from any Transmitter set to channel 17 with zones A, B, or C selected. It will not trigger if only zone D is selected on the

Transmitter. It will trigger if zones A and D are selected.

Audible and visible signals

The Ready Lamp [8] is illuminated when the generator is fully charged (100%) and ready to flash. When the energy output is changed, the Ready Lamp [8] and the modeling lamp will be turned off, indicating that dumping or charging of the energy is in progress.

When the recycling of the generator is completed, there will be a short audible “beep” sound. If a flash is triggered before recycling or auto dumping (when the energy level has been lowered) is completed, there will be a long “beep”, indicating an underexposed or overexposed frame. The audible sounds can be turned off with the Sound Switch [17].

Test functionThe Test Button [8] is used to test that all light settings are correct and that the functionality is as expected. When the Test Button [8] is pressed, the generator will flash and the Ready Lamp [8] will be turned off. When the recycling e of the generator is completed, the Ready Lamp [8] will be turned on again.

flash before ready

The “Flash before ready” function makes it possible to flash before the recycling or auto dumping of the generator is fully completed. When a flash is released before the generator is 100% ready, there will be a long “beep”, indicating an incorrectly exposed frame.

Naturally the flash light may not correspond fully to the set value. The incorrect exposure of the frame may be so small that it makes no significant difference and the frame may still be usable if the catch of the moment was perfect.

Safety functions

If the generator overheats, the recycling will slow down or stop. After a while, when the temperature has decreased sufficiently, the generator will start recycling as normal. The generator automatically shuts down if the battery level is too low, to protect it from deep battery discharge. The 40 A fuse mounted on the battery cassette protects it from short circuit damage.

www.profoto.com

reliability testing – the r-test

The Profoto R-test guarantees that all products leaving the factory meet the very high standards required for professional equipment by professional photographers. After the test, the equipment is examined to verify that all parts have kept a normal operating temperature and are not malfunctioning in any way. All Profoto products are subject to the

R-test prior to shipping.

color temperature

Since the color temperature is constant and reliable, the AcuteB2 is perfectly suited for digital photography. By turning the Energy Control [15] from MAX to -2, the color temperature is changed nominally -150 K. Color temperature in between MAX to -4 is changed nominally ±300 K. Flash to Flash color precision, ±50 °K. Optional glass covers are available for further color temperature adjustments.

13

flash duration

The full power 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.

Consult the camera manual for information about the shortest flash sync time.

The shortest flash duration (1/6800s) is achieved with the Energy Switch [16] set to -4 and the Energy Control [15] set to MAX.
