The Pocket Wizard radio receiver can also learn multiple zones on the Quad-Triggering
channels, 17 through 32. This provides the photographer with the convenience of
activating or deactivating the flash unit(s) wirelessly in four separately controllable zones
(ABCD), without leaving the camera position.
Example: The teaching Transmitter is set to channel 17 with zones A, B, and C selected.
If the generator is taught this combination it will trigger from any Transmitter set to
channel 17 with zones A, B, or C selected. It will not trigger if only zone D is selected on the
Transmitter. It will trigger if zones A and D are selected.
Audible and visible signals
The Ready Lamp [8] is illuminated when the generator is fully charged (100%) and ready
to flash. When the energy output is changed, the Ready Lamp [8] and the modeling lamp
will be turned off, indicating that dumping or charging of the energy is in progress.
When the recycling of the generator is completed, there will be a short audible “beep”
sound. If a flash is triggered before recycling or auto dumping (when the energy level has
been lowered) is completed, there will be a long “beep”, indicating an underexposed or
overexposed frame. The audible sounds can be turned off with the Sound Switch [17].
Test functionThe Test Button [8] is used to test that all light settings are correct and that
the functionality is as expected. When the Test Button [8] is pressed, the generator will
flash and the Ready Lamp [8] will be turned off. When the recycling e of the generator is
completed, the Ready Lamp [8] will be turned on again.
flash before ready
The “Flash before ready” function makes it possible to flash before the recycling or auto
dumping of the generator is fully completed. When a flash is released before the generator
is 100% ready, there will be a long “beep”, indicating an incorrectly exposed frame.
Naturally the flash light may not correspond fully to the set value. The incorrect exposure
of the frame may be so small that it makes no significant difference and the frame may still
be usable if the catch of the moment was perfect.
Safety functions
If the generator overheats, the recycling will slow down or stop. After a while, when the
temperature has decreased sufficiently, the generator will start recycling as normal. The
generator automatically shuts down if the battery level is too low, to protect it from deep
battery discharge. The 40 A fuse mounted on the battery cassette protects it from short
circuit damage.
