IRT-1 Transmitter

Specifications

The Dyna-Lite 2 channel transmitter/receiver is the most sophisticated flash synchronization
system available. It is designed and manufactured for Dyna-Lite by Wein Products
fornia. The IRT-1 transmitter will operate both Wein Pro-Sync and the built-in two channel
receiver in the Dyna-Lite “X”, “XL”, “XR” and “DR” series power packs.

When activated, the small infra-red (IR) transmitter produces a very powerful coded train of
optical IR pulses. This feature gives the transmitter its tremendous optical IR “punch,” ena­bling it to reach out for long distances. The IR signal actually bounces around objects, skip­ping along the ground, floors, and ceilings, even bounces behind you off the foreground.
Most VCR’s, TV’s, modern remote controls and military ranging systems use a low power
version of this ultra reliable, non-jamable system.
The IR coded signal is received and processed by the micro power “brain” of the Dyna-Lite
receiver. When set to the correct incoming channel of the transmitter, the receiver produces
the fastest ever synchronization between camera and remote strobe by a protected channel
photo remote control. This micro powered miracle of modern technology then fires your
Dyna-Lite power pack.

Instructions

 Put two fresh “AA” alkaline batteries in the transmitter and wait 15 seconds after switch-

ing ON for full power and neon “ready” light to flash.

 The transmitter may be mounted on your camera hot shoe. Use the supplied sync ca-

ble to connect the transmitter to the camera. You can now fire off the first 4 shots as
fast as your camera can recycle. Subsequent shots will be available at about two per
second continuously.

 To change channels on the remote, simply set the transmitter to the desired channel by

moving the switch to either the “1” or “2” position.

 Make sure channel selection is the same on both the transmitter and the receiver.

Note: A fresh set of alkalines should last approximately 3000 shots, and you can
leave the transmitter running all day with no harm to the batteries due to the
build-in Battery Saver Circuit.

 Because of the receivers’ great sensitivity, it is not necessary in most set-ups to aim

the transmitter directly at the receivers’ sensing dome.

Sync Speed: Less than 500 microseconds
Power Source: Two AA alkaline batteries
Battery Life: Over 3000 shots per set
Battery Control: Exclusive battery saver circuit shuts down battery drain

when main power bank is fully charged, allowing transmitter to
be left on all day.

Spectral Output: 850 to 1000 nanometers
Recycle Time: First 4 shots at 4 per second, next shot at 2 per second

Distance: Under most indoor situations, 500 foot omni directional,

shade receiver lens for maximum distance.

Caution:

IR Transmitters will trigger most standard optical slave units. If this happens, the strobe as­sociated with proper transmission to the infra-red receiver will misfire. For this reason, stan­dard slave units cannot be used in the same area as any infra-red model.

Warranty

The Dynalite IRT-1 Transmitter is covered under a limited two year warranty period. The
manufacturer warranty is void if the unit is opened by anyone other than an authorized
Dynalite service station. Dynalite reserves the right to dispute a warranty claim if damage is
due to unit being mishandled, dropped, or used in any way other than intended use.
