Nissin Di866 Professional Instruction Manual page 10

External Power Pack Socket
When using an external power source, the number of
flashes is increased and the recycling time is shortened.
The following external power pack is available in option.
Di866 is
automatically
turned off when
repeating flash
continuously
over 20 to 30 times to protect the flash circuitry. It will
be automatically reset after 15minutes of stationary.
Please note that the basic operation is controlled by
the main batteries(battery magazine) in the flash unit
and when the main batteries are exhausted, the flash
control system does not work. Replace the batteries
when recycle time becomes longer than 20 seconds by main
batteries only.
USB Service Port
For firmware update service, Di866 provides a USB service
port. Di866 is developed to work with the cameras
presently available in the market and it may need to
install updated firmware to work with the new cameras
in the coming future, or the cameras with updated
firmware. In this case, a software to work with such
new version will be available at Nissin's homepage to
download.
The same USB connector cord included in the camera's package
can be used commonly.
X terminal
Di866 can be used with non-hotshoe cameras. Some
cameras provide a flash synchronization contact at
x-terminal instead of hotshoe. For this type of
cameras, Di866 has a x-terminal socket for flash
synchronization. A standard sync-cable in the market
is usable.
