3.3 Display (3)
The double-spaced display consists of 3 areas. On the right side there is the figure of the current
time-value and the number of shootings, between two black beams. On the lower row there is a
cursor which shows „|“ for stand-by and switches on to „^“ during active input mode.
Left on the display there are the previous two time values, on the upper row the value of the last
shooting, which is different from the current value. On the lower row is displayed the second last
value. These should help the user to determine de facto the required time values, using empirical
values.
The backlight of the display is switched on just during settings. If there are no setting operation the
display will be switched off after around 10 minutes to save battery. But this is not a standby modus,
Phase Trigger is still working continuously without any restrictions. The display will start again when
you turn the dial (2).
3.4 Connection to the camera or to the flash unit (4)
The user has the possibility to decide if Phase Trigger should trigger the camera or the flash unit by
making use of the switch (4). For instance, when the system is being installed and customised,
shootings are mostly unwelcome. The switch (4) interrupts the connection to the connected devices.
3.5 Direct shooting (5)
The switch makes possible a direct connection between the sensor and the camera or flash unit (5).
Using this direct setting, the time-delays as well as all the other functions will be bypassed. The
signal of the sensor is being transferred directly to the camera, or to the flash unit.
3.6 Selection of sensors' logic (6)
Most of the sensors have two switching outputs which operate with opposite logic: NC
– normally
closed and NO - normally open. Depending on the change of state to which the triggering must react,
the suitable switching output will be chosen.
