Most gas generators with an output of 800 W constant load, or more, can power the D1  
unit.Thanks to the two stage SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) technology, no ProGas  
unit isneeded.

Adaptive thermal control  
The D1 unit is equipped with an adaptive thermal control system. If there is risk for  
over heating of the unit, caused by either heavy use or abnormal external influence, the  
thermalcontrolsystemwillautomaticallyprotecttheunitfromdamage.Amicroprocessor  
supervisesandcontrolstheunit,basedoninputfromfourthermalsensors.Ifthesensors  
report an increase in temperature, the microprocessor automatically takes measures  
to protect the unit.The first measure is to increase the fan speed. If the fan at full speed  
cannot bring the temperature down, the modeling light will automatically be turned off  
during recharging. Next step is to turn off the modeling light completely and at the same  
time slow down the recharging. Eventually the recharging will stop completely. After a
