Petrol-electric Generators
All petrol-electric generators can produce voltage peaks that may damage electronic
devices. Pro-8a is however designed to comply with sufficient power rated petrol-electric
generators supplying AC-power equal to the voltage and frequency specified and without
use of ProGas.

Only use Pro-8a on the same petrol-electric generator, use of any other flash model simultaneously will cause
high voltage and may damage the Pro-8a. Pro-8a itself does not cause gas generators to produce high voltages.
Underrated power of a petrol-electric generator will cause various bad results.
