Strobe control:
•Pulse duration: This is the amount of time the LED’s will be turned on during each flash, and is measured in
microseconds (µS, millionths of a second). The adjustable range is from 0.5µS to 3000µS. When using
durations of 50µS or shorter, it is safe to run the LED’s at a higher power. The flash will automatically make use
of that higher power ability, and roughly triples in brightness to help compensate for the very short exposure
times. For that reason, a 50µS flash will be much brighter than a 51µS flash. You would have to go past 150µS
to continue increasing light output.
•Flash interval: this is the amount of time between each flash, measured in milliseconds (mS, thousandths of a
second). The adjustable range is between 0.1mS and 9990mS (nearly 10 seconds)
•Number of flashes: This is the number of pulses that the flash will output after each trigger event.
•Suppressed Leading Strobes: This gives the user the ability to “mute” some initial number of flashes. These
muted flashes still count towards the “modeling light on/off after number of pulses”, so suppressing leading
strobes can allow the modeling light to turn on/off before a strobe is ever fired.
Continuous light control:
•Modeling light brightness: Adjusts the brightness of the continuous light. Adjustable from 0-100 based on the
available power of the connected power supply.
•Light on after number of pulses: Default value of zero. Once the flash has done this number of strobes, the
continuous light will turn on.
•Light off after number of pulses: Default value of one. Once the flash has done this number of strobes, the
continuous light will turn off.
•Adjust available current: Default value of 1 amp, adjustable range from 1 amp – 5 amps. The continuous light
brightness is heavily impacted by this parameter. DO NOT adjust this parameter higher than the connected
power supply is capable of. Here are some examples for adjusting this parameter:
◦Duracell Coppertop alkaline AA batteries (MN1500): Max rated current of 1A.
◦Energizer lithium AA batteries (L91): Max rated current of 2.5A.
◦Energizer NiMh AA batteries (NH15-2300): Max rated current of 4.6A.
◦for the supplied 12v 5A power supply: Set flash to 5A to make use of the most power available.
Modeling light trigger:
•Trigger jack: Connect a 3.5mm headphone style cord here to trigger the modeling light to turn off. This can be
useful in some scenarios where the user wants to turn off the ambient light just as the photo is taken, so that the
camera won’t collect any unwanted light.
•Modeling light off duration button: This is an adjustment for the amount of time that the light will stay off for
after it has been triggered. Adjustable from 10 to 9990 mS. (0.01 – 9.99 seconds)
Strobe trigger:
Trigger jack: Connect a 3.5mm headphone style cord here to trigger the flash to fire.
Simulate input: The flash treats a button press here as if it were a trigger event from the 3.5mm jack.
Flash delay: Wait time between a trigger event and a flash output. Adjustable from 0-1000mS (0-1 second)
Optical trigger:
•Sensor: Detects rapid changes in light to trigger the flash to fire.
•Button: Used to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor from 0-100. Lower sensitivity if unwanted triggering is
happening.
