Acute2 manual Profoto, Stockholm, Sweden..
W ar ning Profoto generators and lamp heads are parts of a complete professional lighting system. Please read the instr uction manual carefully before use. Flash tubes and modelling lamps emit considerable heat and may cause injur y if not handled properly .

Thanks for showing us your confidence by investing in an Acute2 system. For more than three decades we have sought the per fect light. What pushes us is the conviction that we can offer even the most demanding photographer yet better tools. Before our products are shipped we have them pass an extensive and strict testing pro- gram.
” A photographer ’ s tools are a natural part of the crea- tive process. Like a painter ’ s br ush, an artist ’ s chisel or a musician ’ s instr ument, their form and design should reflect their function, they should have the right feel, and they should be aesthetically pleasing ” .

7 The Acute2 series The system chart shows how the wide Profoto line of accessories fit together with generators and heads. R eflectors and heads can be combined in a number of varieties. The common denomi- nator is the lamp head diameter , which is the base of the Profoto line of products.

The flash heads 10 All Profoto lamp heads are designed for maximum light shap- ing purposes. The light source (both the flash tube and the mod- elling lamp) is mounted high and free in the flash head. This makes it easier for you to adjust the light and use your creativity .
11 The Acute2 head is fan cooled and it has an automatic voltage selector for the fan. The dimmer controlled modelling light is powered directly from the mains and it is therefore important to check that the rated voltage for the lamp corresponds with the mains supply .
Acute2 twin 12 The Acute2 twin is used to obtain even shorter flash duration, ver y quick recycling or to fire 4800 Ws out of one single head. An Acute2 twin has two flash tubes. As the flash duration is shorter at low power switch settings, and as only half of the desired power is used in each tube, consequently shorter flash duration is obtained.
The Acute2 ring is an entirely mobile source of light. The interior diameter of 100mm provides plenty of space for pro- fessional camera lenses. Since the camera holder can be tilted for ward and backwards, as well as upwards and downwards, most cameras can be attached.

16 W arning! Never use ordinar y household extension cords to extend the length of the power cable. They may overheat. Contact your Profoto distributor for proper equipment. Connecting lamp heads One, two or three lamp heads can be connected to the sockets marked A, B and B (15).
17 Energy distribution The energy can be controlled over a 6 f-stop range or 7 when using 2 heads connected to the B sockets. The energy output through the outlets A (17) and B (19,20) is controlled by the A+B / A<->B switch (13), the switches A and B (12+14) and the dial BRACKET (15).
18 One head 1. Connect the head to socket A. 2. R educe the energy one f -stop by switching A+B / A < - > B switch to position A <- > B . 3. Further reduce the energy one or two f-stops by halving or quartering the energy with the A-switch.
19 4. Use the dial BRACKET for fine adjustments and to further reduce the energy by two f-stops. Three heads Symmetrical light distribution 1. Connect one head to each socket 2. Set the A+B / A < - > B switch in position A+B. The energy for the two groups is now added and then equally divided between the connected heads.
20 Energy distribution Acute2 twin One generator 1. Connect the head sockets to the two B sockets on the generator . 2. R educe the energy one f -stop by switching A+B / A <->B switch to position A <->B. 3. Further reduce the energy one or two f-stops by halving or quartering the energy with the B-switch.
21 Energy Control With the dial BRACKET (15) the total energy can, irrespective of the energy distribution, be reduced to 1/4, i.e. two f-stops. The flash duration, recycling and colour temperature is affect- ed by using the dial BRACKET .
22 Charging and recycling Check that the voltage selector (7) and the frequency - selector(8) matches the mains supply voltage. T urn on the main switch POWER (1). The recycling time is ver y short. V ariations may occur depend- ing on the selected flash energy and the mains power supply .
23 The 5 metre sync cord can without restrictions be elongated with a sync extension cable. Sound signal The acoustic signal "beeps" when the unit is fully recycled.
24 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 .
25 Warranty All Profoto products are guaranteed for a period of 2 years, with the exception of flash tubes, glass covers and modelling lamps. R eliability T esting – The R-test The Profoto R-test guarantees that all products leaving the factor y meet the ver y high standards required of professional equipment by professional photographers.
