Remote Channel (Ch) - Bowens XMS Studio Flash User Manual

User Options
Pairing (Pr)
This option allows the unit to be paired or un-paired with an XMSR as well as allowing
all pairing associations to be cleared. Refer to the XMSR Radio Trigger and Remote
Control section.

Remote Channel (Ch)

This allows selection of the radio remote channel for this unit. Note that when the radio
is selected on units, the flash on ALL units using the same channel will be triggered
regardless of the Group setting. Refer to the XMSR Radio Trigger and Remote Control
section.
Remote Group (Gr)
This allows the radio remote group to be selected so units can be remotely controlled
either individually or in groups. Units set to the same group can be simultaneously
controlled. Note that the master remote control can adjust settings on any unit on the
same Channel regardless of the Group. Refer to the XMSR Radio Trigger and Remote
Control section.
Pre-Flash Number (Pn):
This option only needs to be employed when the pre-flash photocell sync is to be used.
The Pre-Flash (Pn) number allows the number of pre-flashes to be detected by the unit;
this can be set either manually, Pn = 1-10, or learnt, Pn = 0.
Pn = 0
If the number of Pre-flashes produced by the camera is not known then this option
should be set to 0 for Auto. This will also automatically switch the photocell to the Pre-
flash mode, if it is not already selected.
1. The XMS is now set to learn the number of flashes released by the camera and will
wait indefinitely for at least one flash.
2 Use the on-camera flash and release a test exposure. If activated, the camera will
release one or more pre-flashes followed by the main flash.
3. When the first flash is detected the time-frame will start during which any other
flashes will be detected and counted.
4. At the end of the time-frame the display will show the number of flashes detected
and the unit will flash.
5. If no change of setting is made for 10 seconds, the display will revert to normal
mode with the Pre-flash mode selected ready for use using the detected value. Any
new settings will be saved.
