RECEIVE unit in Relay Mode
Receives Channel 22, Zone A
Transmits Channel 20
Relay Mode (RECEIVE Mode Only) – L
In this mode a remote camera’s motor drive is
triggered by a MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode). The
MultiMAX then switches to TRANSMIT mode and
waits for a sync pulse from the camera. Upon getting
the sync pulse from the camera the unit then triggers
remote flash units via radio and returns to RECEIVE
mode, ready to trigger the camera again. Using this
mode it is possible, using only 3 PocketWizard units,
to have complete wireless triggering.
1. Set a MultiMAX to TRANSMIT mode and select the channel and zones for the
remote flash units
2. Set the same MultiMAX to RECEIVE mode and select the channel and zone for
the remote camera. Use a different channel then the remote flash units.
3. Press L to toggle Relay Mode on. The screen will display RLY XX (where XX is
the TRANSMIT channel to be used for relay)
4. Connect the camera’s PC terminal to PORT 1 or attach the MultiMAX to the
camera’s hot shoe
5. Connect the camera’s motor drive to PORT 2
6. Trigger the MultiMAX via radio trigger. The camera’s motor drive will trigger and
the MultiMAX display will change to TRANSMIT mode. The MultiMAX will wait
1.5 seconds for a trigger from the camera. If it gets a trigger in that time it will
trigger the remote flash units and return to RECEIVE mode. If it does not get a
trigger in that time it will return to RECEIVE mode without triggering the remote
units.
