High Voltage Protection

Many electronic cameras can be damaged by high flash sync voltage. Refer to your
camera’s manual for more information. The MultiMAX protects the camera from high
flash sync voltage. The MultiMAX can accept up to 250 volts, but there is only a safe
3.3 volts p resen t at the hot s hoe or P O RT 1. A cam era triggerin g a M ultiMA X (s et for
TR ANS MIT mode) via the hot shoe or POR T 1 only encounters 3.3 volts. This voltage
is not M ultiMA X battery dep enden t and w ill not vary over the life of th e batteries.
