The MultiMAX is designed to sync cameras and flash
units at shutters speeds up to 1/250th for most focal
plane shutters (35mm) and 1/500th for most leaf
shutters. Some camera and flash combinations are
capable of fast sync speeds up to 1/1000th. The
MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode) is capable of
operation at these speeds in Fast Mode. Check your
camera’s and flash unit’s manuals for the maximum
sync speeds allowed by your equipment.
A MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode) in fast mode will show FAST MODE on the
display. While in this mode Quad-Triggering and Relay Mode are not available and
the A B C D L keys perform no function on a RECEIVE unit. A MultiMAX (set for
TRANSMIT mode) will trigger RECEIVE units in FAST MODE with any remote zone
selected, but will perform confirmation only on zone A.

While the keypad is locked pressing any of the keys, A B C D L  or ~/MENU will

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 present at the hot shoe or PORT 1. A camera triggering a MultiMAX (set for
TRANSMIT mode) via the hot shoe or PORT 1 only encounters 3.3 volts. This voltage
is not MultiMAX battery dependent and will not vary over the life of the batteries.
