Synchronization (flash triggering)
Synchronization by cable
Via the synchronization socket 13 the generator is con-
nected to the camera using a synchronization cable with 6,3
mm phone jack.
The synchronization circuit is made up of state-of-the-art
semi-conductor technology and enables secure triggering of
the flash even with older cameras with mechanical contacts.
Due to the many different electronic circuits in cameras for
controlling synchronization, we cannot take any liability for
possible damage to cameras triggering flashes. Please
contact the camera manufacturer before using an unusual
camera.
Synchronization by slave
The built-in slave 14 can trigger the power pack. Triggering is
done by an „incoming“ flash, which was emitted by another
flashlight. This mode of operation is switched on using switch
6 and indicated by the green lamp of the control-LED.
The slave is an impulse photocell. It can only operate when
the triggering flash has a higher f-stop than the ambient light.
Please be aware that the ambient light that strikes the slave
may never be too strong. If this cannot be avoided, please
switch the slave off by pressing switch
6 and release the
flash by cable or radio signal.
Manual flash triggering
By pressing button 17 test flashes can be released.
Flash triggering using the Strobe Wizard Plus transmitter
See information on pp. 18-19.
Flash power control
Operation of the battery powered flash unit is possible in
symmetrical and asymmetrical mode.
