Selecting the receiving channel:
The unit is equipped with a 16-channel radio trigger (receiver). Transmitter
(RS 2/TRIGGER HAPPY/TRIGGER ONE) and receiver must be set to the same channel.
The receiver can be activated and set to the desired receiving channel with
the following key sequences:
- Press and hold the "TEST" button , the unit fires once and the symbol for
the channel selection "CH" appears on the display after 3 sec. Now let go
of the button.
- After approx. 2 sec. the unit emits a beep and the symbol on the display
changes from „CH" to „--", meaning that the receiver is not activated and
no channel is selected (factory setting).
- The desired receiving channel can now be set by turning the output control,
e.g. to "12" (channel 12). Confirm the selection of the channel by press-
ing the "Test" button, the previously selected output appears on the display
again.
- The radio trigger is now active and acts on the selected channel.
- A total of 16 channels are available.
Changing the receiving channel:
- Press and hold the "TEST" button, the unit fires once and the symbol for the
channel selection "CH" appears on the display after 3 sec. Now let go of the
button.
- After approx. 2 sec. the unit emits a beep and the symbol on the display
changes from „CH" to the previously selected channel, e.g. to "12"
(channel 12). The desired receiving channel can now be set by turning
the output control, e.g. to "15" (channel 15). Confirm the selection of
the channel by pressing the "TEST" button, the previously selected output
reappears on the display.
- The radio trigger now acts on the newly selected channel.
- It is possible to select 16 channels
c) Optical Synchronisation:
The unit may be fired using an Infrared Remote Trigger (Code: MUSEN, sold
separately). Attach the IR remote trigger to your cameras' flash shoe. The flash
units´ IR receiver/Slave Cell must be activated by pressing the corresponding
button. The unit will fire synchronously with the camera when it is being trig-
gered. In a multi-flash set-up, the IR receiver/Slave Cell must be activated on
each unit. The unit features a built-in "Pre-Flash Eliminator". It serves the
purpose to optically synchronize the unit to a built-in flash of a digital camera or
a shoe mount flash that does not feature a off-function for the "red eye" or TTL/
ETTL pre-flashes. After programming, the unit "ignores" the cameras´ "red eye"
or TTL/ETTL pre-flash pulse and synchronizes to the main flash of the camera.
- Press and hold the "IR receiver/Slave Cell On-Off" button for approx. 3 sec.,
the symbol „PF" (pre-flash) appears on the display. Now let go of the button,
a short acoustic signal sounds.
10
- Now, trigger the camera flash within 10 sec. at a distance of approx. 2 m
from the unit.
- The "IR receiver/Slave Cell On-Off" button blinks steadily, the unit has
"learned" the pulse of the pre-flash, it is now is in pre-flash mode and syncs
to the cameras´ main flash.
To leave pre-flash mode, proceed as described above but without triggering
a camera flash.
The IR receiver/Slave Cell will always be inactive after deactivating the
Pre-Flash eliminator and must be activated again when required.
6) RADIO REMOTE CONTROL/ ID SELECTION:
With the radio remote control (TRIGGER HAPPY, sold seperately), it is possible
to control all functions of the X systems. Up to 16 flash units and subgroups
of units can be controlled with one radio remote control. Before using a radio
remote control it is necessary to select an ID as well a CHANNEL on each unit.
Use the „Beep/Lamp Ready indicator" button to select an ID:
- Press and hold the " Beep/Lamp Ready indicator " button for approx. 3 sec.,
the symbol „ID" appears on the display
- The desired receiving ID can now be set by turning the output control dial e.g.
to "1" (ID 1).
- Confirm the selection of the ID by pressing the " Beep/Lamp Ready indicator"
button, a short acoustic signal sounds.
For detailed information on controlling X system flash units with a radio
remote control please refer to the corresponding user manual.
7) MODELING LAMP 100% ON-OFF:
By pressing the „Modeling lamp 100% On-Off" button the halogen light
switches to full power regardless of selected flash output.

8) CHANGING FUSES:

To change the fuses, open the fuse holder with the aid of a coin.
Replace blown fuses by new ones of identical amperage.
9) VISUAL AND ACOUSTIC FIRING MONITOR:
Besides the acoustical confirmation all units offers a visual confirmation of
flash firing, which can be activated with „Beep/Lamp Ready indicator"
button. After firing, the halogen modeling light will go out and come on only
when the unit has recharged. In a multiple-flash setup it is therefore easy to
check whether all units have fired.
10) SPEED MODE- DISPLAY:
As soon the „Speed-Mode"- LED glows the unit operates in „Speed-Mode"
with reload times from 0,05 sec.
