When releasing via the photocell or the IR-receiver, ensure that the receiving cell of the
unit is not obstructed by obstacles.
The appliance has a synchronous circuit with a low onload voltage to protect your
camera contact. The synchronous circuit may not be connected in parallel with products
of other manufacturers which operate with high synchronous voltage.
5.1 Photocell
The photocell can be switched on or off by using the "cell" key (1). If it is activated the
green LED lights up. After a flash sequence, an active photocell will be blocked and the
green LED blinks. By pressing the "cell" key, the photocell is reactivated.
5.2
Infrared receiver / RFS-interface (ir/rf)
The IR receiver and, if available, the RFS interface can be switched on and off with the
key "ir/rf" (2). Optionally it can be established, if with this key, every time, both functions
(IR and RFS) or just one of the two can be switched on or off (see chapter 11). Is one or
both functions active, the green display lights up.
5.3
Infrared flash release channel
The Minicom monoblocs can be released with broncolor infrared transmitters. When the
unit is triggered via infrared, the flash release is effected with a time delay of 1/1000 s.
The IR receiver integrated in the unit is used for wireless release with the following
units:
-
IRX 2 transmitter
-
FCM 2 lightmeter and contrast photometer
5.4 Sync
sockets
The synchronous cables, art. no. 34.111.00 respectively 34.112.00, may be plugged
into the sync sockets (1) or (2) to release flashes via cable
5.5 "test"
key
This "test" key (7) allows manual release of the monobloc Minicom. The respective LED
lights up when the flash voltage corresponds exactly to the selected value. During
charging and discharging the LED goes out and the flash energy display (17) blinks.
