The RadioRemote One system
provides full wireless remote control
of all Paul C. Buff,Inc.White Lightning
Ultra, UltraZap and X-Series flash
units via the "To Light" jack.Most flash
units from other manufacturers may
be fired, but not adjusted, from the
receiver's auxiliary sync jack via a
suitable cable to fit the specific flash
unit.
C a u t i o n : The RR1 re c e i ver is
designed for modern flash units with
low current, low voltage (50V max)
sync. Some older flash units have volt-
ages as high as 400 volts at the sync
terminals and could damage the unit.
Setup
In a typical lightning setup, the
transmitter and all receivers should
be assigned the same Bank number,
with each receiver set to a different
one of the 16 Channels. If there is
more than one lighting setup in the
same area, assigning a different Bank
number to each lighting setup elimi-
nates any interaction between the
setups.Thus, as many as 16 photog-
raphers can each operate up to 16
light units in the same area without
i n t e r a c t i o n . It is important to
remember that flash units with built
in slave trippers will fire one another,
re g a rdless of Bank and Channel
assignments, if the slave function is
not disabled.This is accomplished in
White Lightning units by inserting an
unconnected sync cord or a blank
"1/4" Stereo Phone Plug" (available at
Radio Shack stores) into the sync
jack of the White Lightning unit.
If you are operating in a studio
environment you might choose to
not disable the built in slaves. This
will assure that if one receiver hap-
pens to miss a fire command its light
will fire anyhow via the flash received
from the other flashes.This method
will, however, not allow you to test
fire individual light units from the
RR1 transmitter.
Camera Sync
The transmitter should be con-
nected to the camera sync jack via
the cable supplied. Cameras with
focal plane shutters should be set to
1/60" or slower shutter speed, while
leaf shutter cameras may be set to
1/125" or slower. (An optional hot
shoe adaptor may be required for
cameras lacking a sync output jack).
Operating Rang e
Typical operating range should be
from about 100' up to 400' or more
and may be affected by a number of
factors, including buildings, vegeta-
tion, bodies of water and interfer-
ence from other radio transmitters.
Antennas should be kept vertical
and the receivers should be mount-
ed away from large metal, concrete
