Connecting MultiMAX II (set for TRANSMIT mode) to Flash
A flash can be connected to a MultiMAX II (set for TRANSMIT mode). It will trigger in
sync with the remote flash units. This flash is called the local flash and is usually
mounted on a camera bracket.
1. Use a flash cable to connect the flash unit’s sync terminal to FLASH / PORT 2 of the
MultiMAX II (set for TRANSMIT mode)
2. Use the L key to enable or disable the Local flash
You’re all set! Use the camera normally.
Using a local flash this way protects the camera from high voltages. See the
Specifications section, Page 49, for more information.
STANDARD RADIO OPERATION
Transceiver Control
The MultiMAX II operates as either a transmitter or a receiver. To use the MultiMAX II
as a Transmitter (sending device) set the power switch to TRANSMIT. To use the
MultiMAX II as a Receiver set the power switch to RECEIVE.
There is a special mode that enables a MultiMAX II to automatically switch from
RECEIVE to TRANSMIT then back to RECEIVE while triggering a remote camera.
Read the Relay Mode section, Page 39, for more information.
Channels
The MultiMAX II is a 32 channel digital radio slave. Each MultiMAX II channel
represents a digital code transmitted on specific PocketWizard radio frequencies. This
enables many photographers to work in the same area. It also enables a photographer
to control multiple remote devices (cameras, flash units, etc).
A MultiMAX II (set for TRANSMIT mode) will trigger any number of MultiMAX II units
(set for RECEIVE mode) set to the same channel. Units set to different channels will not
interfere with each other.
From the main screen press the ?? keys to change channels.
Some MultiMAX II features are only available on higher channels. Refer to the table
