Hi there, just received Multiblitz Propac 2 + Profilux 600 head - this is the first battery back kit i own and indeed the first NEW studio light I own so I've come across this 'be sure to form the flash capacitors before first use of equipment' question.
I reads:
"be sure to form the flash capacitors before first use of equipment as well as after every 3 months of storage. To do this proceed as follows:
1. Connect the supplied mains cable bla bla......fine understood
2. Increase the energy output at 15 minute intervals over the f-stops (J.. - 1/1) - okay, I dont understand what they mean on how to do it....the Profilux 600 head has a digital 7-stop range in tenths..
3. Do not fire any flashes during the formation process too late, fired one or two cos you know how it is.....cant resist it!..
4. Leave the unit set at full energy (1/1) for about an hour don't understand this either....what do they mean with the modelling light on or what..
Formation of the flash capacitor is completed after one hour and the unit is ready for use."
Would appreciate an explanation of how to do this.....thanks in advance!!!!!!!!
