PROPAC
FAQ
Is there an external hot swappable battery available for the Propac?
No, we think that much capacity does not need an extra battery.
Can I operate my Profilux Plus / X10 unit(s) on a Propac while charging?
No, the lamp sockets are being switched off during charging.
Can I operate other flash units than a Profilux Plus / X10 on my Propac?
DO NOT, you will damage the other flash unit and the Propac.
Can I use the modeling light on my Profilux Plus / X10 when it is being operated
on a Propac?
Yes you can, the modeling lights´ „Auto Off" function on your Profilux Plus / X10
will help you spare battery power.
Is it necessary to exchange the 220-240 V modelling lamps PROhAL, LuhAL 2
or LuhAL 3 (included in the Profilux Plus´ / X10 scope of supply for 220-240 V mains
operation) for the 100-130 V modelling lamp PAChAL (included in the Propacs´
scope of supply) when I switch from 220-240 V mains operation to battery
operation?
Technically it is not necessary for the modeling lamp will not take any damage.
Practically we advise to change the modelling lamp in order to assure
a correct rendition of colour. Be sure to also apply pyrex dome PLuSkLA / LukLA-1
when using the 100-130 V modelling lamp.
Is it necessary to exchange the 100-130 V modelling lamp PAChAL (included in
the Propacs´ scope of supply) for the 220-240 V modelling lamps PROhAL, LuhAL
2 or LuhAL 3 (included in the Profilux Plus´ / X10 scope of supply for 220-240 V
mains operation) when I switch from battery operation to 220-240 V mains operation?
Yes, this is absolutely necessary, otherwise you will damage the 100-130 V
modelling lamp.
What about when switching from 100-130 V mains operation to battery operation
and vice versa?
Modeling lamp PACHAL, included in the Profilux Plus´ / X10 scope of supply for
100-130 V mains operation and also included in the Propacs´ scope of supply
for battery operation, is designated for 100-130 V mains operation and
battery operation and therefore must not be exchanged. Be sure to also apply
pyrex dome PLuSkLA / LukLA-1 when using the 100-130 V modelling lamp.

Why must I apply pyrex dome PLuSkLA / LukLA-1 when using 150 W/100-130 V
modelling lamp PAChAL?
100-130 V bulbs with b15 socket do not have a built-in fuse, this is why the
pyrex dome has to be applied to the flash unit.
220-240 V bulbs with b15 socket have a built-in fuse.
how does the Propac indicates that its´ battery is nearly empty?
See „1) Low Battery" on page 13.
Can I keep my Propac in a hard-/or soft case when I ´am working with it, or does
it get too warm and might damage the case or other equipment?
Yes, you can keep the Propac in its´ case, the Propac battery packs only get
warm to the touch during operation.
how many flashes can I fire before the Propac cuts-out due to overheating?
The Propacs do not cut-out at all because it has not to be monitored by a
thermal cut-out circuit. You can fire its´ whole capacity of flashes from one
load.
Should I always store my Propac fully charged?
See page 9 under point 7.
Can I leave my Propac recharging overnight?
Yes you can. After 4 hrs, 4,5 hrs respectively, the Propacs will deliver the
flash count stated in the specifications. Recharging the Propacs for ten hrs
will result in a 25% gain of flash capacity. After ten hours of charging, the
Propac and the multi-voltage charger will automatically switch off.
ATTenTIOn:
The PROPAC battery pack can only be switched on, if a lamp cable (PACNET)
is plugged into either of the connectors of the device. Likewise, the lamp cable
needs to be connected, to check the battery level of the PROPAC. That way,
unintentional power-ups of the device are prevented and the risk of a deep
discharge and resulting damage to the battery pack is minimized.
