Note:
Based on a multitude of possible electronic circuits in different
cameras which are used for synchronization, we are not liable
for possible damages to the camera used for flash triggering.
Please contact the camera’s manufacturer before using a non-
standard camera for such purpose.
Synchronization via slave
The built-in slave 23 triggers the flash when light from another
flash is detected (slave mode).
This mode of operation is activated/deactivated with the
SLAVE
key 1 . The active setting is indicated via LED above the key.
The slave is an impulse photo cell. It only triggers the flash
when the striking light is brighter than the ambient light.
Note:
Make sure that other bright, ambient light does not reach the
photo cell. If this cannot be avoided, please use a cable or
radio transmitter for synchronization.
Synchronization via radio remote trigger
The optional radio remote triggers Strobe Wizard Plus , free-
mask and Hensel Profoto Air are used to conveniently synchro -
nize the camera and flash unit via radio remote control. See
„14 Accessories“ on page 40.
 In this set-up, you have to switch off the slave function with
the SLAVE key 1 .
How to operate with optional radio remote triggers is described
in the following chapters.
PM mode
(in connection with Power Max L)
Hallmarks of the compact flash units of the Expert D series
are their especially short flash duration times and fast recycling
times - also when operated with a Power Max L. This results in a
comparatively high power draw. In order to guarantee optimum
functioning, the Expert D must be switched to a special mode
when used in connection with a Power Max L.
