The Set Button [7] is used to enter and exit auxiliary mode. The generator operates as
normal also when in auxiliary mode.
In auxiliary mode, the Head/Model Buttons A-C [12] are used to activate/deactivate the
auxiliary functions Interval, Sequence and Delay. The Energy Controls A-C [13] are used
to select the auxiliary functions settings (for Radio settings, see instructions on page 19):
• Interval: Turn Energy Control A [13] to select the time interval (0.1-60 s) between the
flashes. For changes in larger increments, press down the control while turning. To use
the Interval function, the Sequence function (see below) must first be activated (min 2
flashes).
• Sequence: Turn Energy Control B [13] to select the number of flashes (2-60). For
changes in larger increments, press down the control while turning.
• Delay: Turn Energy Control C [13] to select the delay time (0.1-60 s) before the first
flash. For changes in larger increments, press down the control while turning.
If one or several of the auxiliary functions are activated, the Auxiliary Functions Display [8]
repeatedly shows the settings for the activated functions.
If none of the auxiliary functions are activated, the Auxiliary Functions Display [8] shows
the radio settings.
NOTE:
Always check the optimal time delay by taking test exposures. All cameras have different release delays and the
effect depends on the speed and moving direction of the subject. The following list is a rough basis for your own
tests to create wipe effects:
