SyncBac PRO Slave not Connecting to Master
If your SyncBac PRO is not receiving clock settings from a master device, it could be
due to:
l
The master device being switched off. Make sure the master device is on and
has sufficient battery power.
l
SyncBac PRO is set to GP Master TX mode. The SyncBac PRO can only connect
with a master device if the SyncBac PRO is running in RF Slave mode. For
more information, see Set the Timecode Mode on page 20 and Master and
Slave Relationship on page 22
l
The master is out of range. The SyncBac PRO will use its own clock settings
until the master is back in range. If you are only using the internal aerial, you
could increase the range by attaching an external aerial - contact Timecode
Systems for advice.
l
The SyncBac PRO is not set to use the same RF Channel as the master.
SyncBac PRO slave - master communications can only take place between
devices that are in the same BLINK network (are set to use the same RF
Channel). For more information, see Set the RF Channel on page 28.
l
The SyncBac PRO and/or the master are not set to the correct country/area.
You need to set the SyncBac PRO and master to the country/area in which
they are being used (see Set the RF Country/Area on page 19).
SyncBac PRO Slave is Connecting to Wrong Master
If your SyncBac PRO is running in slave mode and connects to the wrong master
device, it is likely that there are multiple masters in the same BLINK network. A
BLINK network should only have one master device, see Set the Timecode Mode on
page 20 .
