Frequently Asked Questions - Acute2 PROFOTO
How do I synchronize the Acute2 with my camera?
You can use a standard sync cord (PC connector), optical slave, or an optional radio trigger like Profoto AirSync or PocketWizard.
What is the maximum flash power output?
The Acute2 typically delivers up to 1200 Ws of flash energy, adjustable in 1/10 f-stop increments.
Can I use the Acute2 with Profoto's high-speed sync?
The Acute2 does not support HSS natively; it is a standard sync flash. For high-speed sync, consider Profoto's newer Pro- or D-series generators.
How do I replace the flash tube?
Disconnect power, remove the protective cover, press the retainers, and pull the tube out. Insert a new Profoto Acute2 tube (e.g., 1200s). Avoid touching the glass with bare fingers.
What does the recycling time depend on?
Recycle time depends on power output level and power voltage. At full power (1200 Ws) it is about 3 seconds; at lower settings it is faster (down to 0.5 s).
How do I clean the device?
Turn off and unplug. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Clean the fan grilles to avoid overheating.
Is the Acute2 compatible with Profoto softboxes and reflectors?
Yes, the Acute2 uses the standard Profoto 15 mm accessory mount, compatible with most Profoto modifiers like softboxes, umbrellas, and reflectors.
What should I do if the modeling lamp burns out?
Replace with a halogen lamp of the same type (typically 300W GY9.5). Ensure the unit is off and cool before replacing.
Can I daisy-chain multiple Acute2 generators?
Yes, using the Profoto Link feature (optional kit) or a dedicated sync splitter, you can connect multiple units for higher total output.
How do I update the firmware?
The Acute2 does not have user-updatable firmware. If needed, contact Profoto service for any firmware-related issues.
