1. Safety Instructions

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death

or serious injury.

Follow all CAUTION notices to reduce the risk of personal injury, prevent damage to the HSS,

StopShot module, accessories, and devices (cameras, flashes, etc). Failure to follow all CAUTION

notices may void your warranty. CAUTION may also indicate a potentially hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, may result in personal injury.

The safety alert symbol

precedes a general CAUTION or WARNING statement.

The electrical hazard symbol

precedes an electric shock hazard CAUTION or WARNING

statement.

CAUTION: Do not insert any object or finger(s) into the shutter opening. This may result in

damage to the shutter or personal injury.

CAUTION: Only use the recommended battery pack for powering the HSS and StopShot. Use of

other power sources may damage the controller(s).

CAUTION: Do not use "Y" adapters for the trigger outputs to connect more than three devices.

Some devices generate significant transients (like solenoids) that may damage sensitive

equipment such as cameras and flashes. StopShot is protected from these transients but other

electronics (such as flashes and cameras) may not be. It is acceptable to use a "Y" adapter to

connect more than one device to a trigger output as long as the devices are similar. If you have

any questions or concerns about device compatibility, please contact us at:

support@cognisys-

inc.com.

WARNING: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the shutter or controller. Under no

circumstances open the devices.

WARNING: Do not expose the shutter or controller to wet environments.

WARNING: High voltage flashes should NOT be connected to the StopShot module or any of its

associated adapters/connectors/cables. Doing so could expose you to dangerously high

voltages resulting in serious injury or death. All new flashes on the market do not expose high

voltage on the hot-shoe. These are the flashes intended for use with the StopShot module.
