User Interface - Pclix LT Owner's Manual

User Interface:

The Pclix LT consists of four simple switches, first a black POWER switch along the right
side of the device, a red FIRE switch on the top face and finally two grey rotating dial switches
each numbered 0 to 9. For the purpose of this manual we will refer to these two grey dials as
the LEFT dial and RIGHT dial. For the most part you can think of the LEFT dial as "the tens"
and the RIGHT dial as "the ones". However they do have other meanings in the programming
menu that is discussed a little later. Above and a little to either side of the grey dials are two
LEDs with an icon beside each. On the right next to the camera icon is GREEN LED when lit,
on the left a clock icon beside a RED LED when lit. Using these four simple controls you will be
able to set and control all of the features and options for the Pclix LT.
There are three other items on the front panel of Pclix LT to help it do what it does. The
first is another LED that looks much the same as the two LEDs on the top face, however this
Infrared LED is used to trigger your camera using Infrared light. Infrared light is invisible to
the human eye so you will never see this LED light up. Beside the IR LED there's a 1/8" stereo
connector, this connector does one of two things. The first allows you to plug in an Infrared
camera control cable or secondly a contact switch closure cable. Only one can be used at a
time and the type of cable must be defined in the camera model preference. The last electrical
connection on the front face is for a power adapter which is an optional accessory for the Pclix
LT. This power jack makes it possible to power the Pclix from a source other than the internal
batteries allowing the Pclix LT to run for years instead of a month with the internal batteries.
