Synchronization via cable
The battery flash generator is connected to the camera by con-
necting the synchronization cable with 6.3 mm jack plug to the
sync socket
21
on the camera.
The synchronizing process uses the latest semiconductor tech-
nology and warrants reliable triggering of the flash unit even
when using older camera models with mechanical contacts. The
lower voltage of the sync socket makes safe and reliable opera-
tion possible, also with the use of modern digital cameras.
Note:
Based on the multitude of possible electronic circuits in different
cameras which are used for the synchronization, we are not
liable for possible damages to the camera used for flash trigge-
ring. Please contact the camera’s manufacturer before using a
non-standard camera for such purposes.
Synchronization via photo cell
The built-in slave
8
triggers the flash through the incidence of a
flash that was emitted by another unit (slave mode).
This mode of operation is activated/deactivated with the
SLAVE
key
14
. The on-state is indicated via the key’s LED.
The slave is an impulse photo cell. It only triggers the flash
when the incidence of the other flash is stronger than the ambi-
ent light.
Note:
Make sure that no other bright, ambient light reaches the slave.
If this cannot be avoided, use a cable or radio transmitter for
synchronization.
Another interference can be arc discharge lamps, like the ones
used in ceiling spots. The impulse-like eradiated light could pos-
sibly trigger the slave.
