Synchronization (flash triggering)
Synchronization by cable
Via the synchronization socket 6 the generator is connected to
the camera using a synchronization cable with 6,3 mm phone
jack.
The synchronization circuit is made up of state-of-the-art semi-
conductor technology and enables secure triggering of the flash
even with older cameras with mechanical contacts.
Due to the many different electronic circuits in cameras for
controlling synchronization, we cannot take any liability for
possible damage to cameras triggering flashes. Please
contact the camera manufacturer before using an unusual
camera.
Synchronization by slave
The built-in slave can trigger the power pack. Triggering is done
by an „incoming" flash, which was emitted by another flashlight.
This mode of operation is switched on using switch 11 and
indicated by the green lamp of the control-LED.
The slave is an impulse photocell. It can only operate, when the
triggering flash has a higher f-stop than the ambient light.
Please be aware that the ambient light that strikes the slave
may never be too strong. If this cannot be avoided, please
switch off the slave by pressing switch 11 and release the flash
by cable or radio signal.
Manual flash triggering
By pressing button 14 test flashes can be released. After
reducing the flash power, a flash can be triggered to shorten the
power dumping time.

Flash power control

The battery powered flash unit offers symmetrical and
asymmetrical power distribution.
Power control of channel A:
By pressing button 2 the maximum possible power output (for
PORTY 12 Li max. 1200J and for PORTY 6 Li max. 600J) can
be set. The corresponding LED lights up. Repeated pressing
turnes the connected flash head off; the LED indicator goes out.
The maximum power output is adjustable within a range of 7 f-
stops using the up and down keys beside the display.
