Sync Source Setting - Bowens XMS Studio Flash User Manual

Operation
Sync Source Setting continued.
2. To select the Pre-flash photocell, press and hold down the SYNC button
until only the CELL Indicator is illuminated. The unit will be triggered
by an infrared (IR) light pulse received from another flash unit or other
pulsed light source but only after a pre-set number of flashes have been
received in a pre-set time frame (see page 15). This allows the unit to ignore
any pre-flashes produced by the camera.
3. To select the radio, press and hold down the SYNC button until only
the RADIO Indicator is illuminated. The unit will be triggered from an
XMSR generated trigger signal.
4. To select the radio and the photocell together, press and hold down the
SYNC button until both RADIO and CELL indicators are illuminated.
5. To select the radio and the pre-flash photocell together, press and hold
down the SYNC button until the RADIO Indicator is illuminated and
the CELL Indicator flashes.
6. To turn the sync sources off, briefly press the SYNC button. Both sync
indicators will be turned off.
7. Briefly press the SYNC button again to turn the sync options back on.
Wired Sync
1. Regardless of the sync source setting, wired sync is always available.
2. To use the wired sync source connect a 3.5mm jack sync cable to the
rear mounted jack socket, and the PC connector to the camera (or other
sync source e.g. light meter).
3. The sync cable can be extended as required using an appropriate extension.
4. Remove the jack plug when not required.
Turning the Unit Off
1. Press the POWER Button to turn the unit off.
2. STDBY will be illuminated, highlighting that the unit is connected to mains power but
is in standby mode.
3. All settings will be retained when the unit is switched to standby.
4. Remove the power cable.
5. Allow the unit to cool before packing away.
Note: Always turn the unit off by using the POWER button before removing the mains
power supply. In the event that the mains supply is switched off or removed while the unit
is on, the settings will be retained. If invalid settings are found when the unit is next turned
on then default settings will be used.
