Setting Interval Warning Length (82)

Wouldn't it be great if the Pclix LT could warn you it's about to trigger your camera, of
course it would. After all you don't want to be photographed watering your flower just as your
camera takes another time-lapse image of the flower opening to full bloom. The Pclix LT has
the ability to give you a visible warning providing two rules are met. First, the interval must
be 1 minute or longer and second the interval must be a user-programmed interval stored in
any of the registers numbered 90 to 99. Normally when the Pclix LT is counting down to the
next interval the RED LED gives a quick flash every second, however when the Pclix LT is
within the length of the warning the RED LED flash inverts. Meaning the RED LED stays lit
with the RED LED turning OFF quickly every second instead of turning ON. The factory default
for the length of the warning is 20 seconds but you can change the length of the warning to
anything between and including 01 and 59 seconds using the programming sequence below.
If you try and set a warning length of 60 seconds or greater you will get an error warning
indicated by a RED LED flash, reset the dials and try again.
Interval Warning Length Programming Sequence (82):
- Turn the Pclix LT OFF
- set the LEFT dial to 8 and the RIGHT dial to 2
- while pushing the red Fire button turn ON Pclix LT to enter programming mode
- after 3 RED LED flashes release FIRE button
- the GREEN LED will flash three times asking you to enter the Warning Length
- set the Warning Length seconds (01–59) using the LEFT and RIGHT dials
- push FIRE button to enter the Warning Length, the GREEN LED will flash 4 times
- turn OFF the Pclix LT to exit programming mode
- You've just set the Warning Length time.

Setting Closed Contact Length (87)

This user setting allows you to set the length of the closed contact switch closure. By
factory default the closed contact length is set to 20/100ths of a second. This setting only
comes into play if the Pclix LT is set to camera model code "77". Using the programming
sequence below you can set the contact closure length anywhere from 1/100th to 99/100ths
of a second in length. If your camera is missing the odd frame then increasing the contact
closure length should solve the problem. Likewise if you are using a camera which is able to
shoot high frame rates then shortening the length might allow you to trigger your camera
quicker when the Pclix LT is in "Split Second Mode".
Setting Closed Contact Programming Sequence (87):
- Turn the Pclix LT OFF
- set the LEFT dial to 8 and the RIGHT dial to 7
- while pushing the red Fire button turn ON Pclix LT to enter programming mode
- after 3 RED LED flashes release FIRE button
- the GREEN LED will flash three times asking you to enter the Warning Length
- set the Closed Contact Length (01–99) using the LEFT and RIGHT dials
- push FIRE button to enter the Warning Length, the GREEN LED will flash 4 times

- You have now changed the Closed Contact Length.
