Setting up your HSS Transmitter
The below setup instructions are based on the HSS
transmitter firmware 3.0 and AEOS firmware V732. To
check the firmware version on your HSS transmitter,
this is shown on the screen when you turn the device
on. To check the AEOS firmware version, press both
knobs to enter MENU, navigate to ‘VERS’ in the TECH
menu, press the right knob to enter, and the firmware
version will scroll across the display (for a full menu
flowchart, see page 3).
If your HSS transmitter has a version earlier than 3.0,
please visit the Elinchrom website to update manually,
which should only take a few minutes. If you are
operating from an older firmware on your AEOS than
v732, please contact us on sales@rotolight.com or +44
1753 422750.
First, turn on your AEOS then after a few seconds,
turn on your Rotolight or Elinchrom HSS Transmitter.
If you are operating from the correct firmware, the
transmitter should automatically find the AEOS and
display this on screen. We automatically set the units
to default to channel 1, frequency 1 out of the box.
However, if it does not automatically find it or if you
want to change settings:
Firstly, ensure the bottom left text on the transmitter
says… ‘TTL’ not ‘Manual’. If you can see ‘Manual’, this
means you are in TTL mode which is not compatible
with AEOS. Press the button underneath ‘Manual’ to
enter the Manual mode.
If the AEOS is still not visible on your HSS transmitter,
try the following:
Ensure that Skyport receiver mode is set to ‘SPED’
on the AEOS by turning AEOS on, pushing both red
control knobs together to access the MENU options,
turn the right red knob clockwise until the display
shows ‘CTRL’, click the right-hand knob once and
then turn it clockwise again until ‘SKYP’ is displayed.
Click the right knob once more and turn it again until
