2

Computer Remote control features

• Wireless Remote Control of all RX features and extra options are available with
EL-Skyport 3.0 Software (i.e. Delay ash, Flash Stand-by, special modelling lamp features
and more..)

• Real Time Feedback from RX units with EL-Skyport software. WYSIWYG: What you see
is what you get!

Experience the simplicity and convenience of this professional, and powerful wireless device.

Note :

Usable shutter speed and distance range are both inuenced by reections (ceilings, walls, oor, furniture
and other equipment) and possible interference from other 2.4 GHz electronic equipment. For best
performance the Transmitter and Receiver antenna should have direct sight, without any walls or objects
in-between them.

Operating Instructions

Flash trigger

1. Plug in the Transceiver RX to your ELINCHROM RX ash unit.

2. Check for the correct Group-Switch setting and the correct Frequency Channel setting on
all EL-Skyport modules.

3. Switch the ELINCHROM RX Flash Unit ON. For TEST Press the “TEST”
push button on EL-Skyport Transmitter.

Troubleshooting

Should an error occur, rst check the following points:

Having this problem? Check the following points:

Universal Receiver is not
triggered by the Transmitter.
Mode “All” is selected

Some Flash units are not
triggered by the Transmitter
Mode “Grp” is selected

TEST ash works, but the camera
will not trigger Flash unit

Distance range is too small

RX unit with Transceiver RX is not
found by EL-Skyport software

ØCheck if the Transmitter is switched ON
ØCheck battery polarity
ØCheck if the Receiver module is connected correctly to the unit
ØCheck if the frequency selector switch is set to the same

channel

Ø Check if the Channel selector switch is set to the same Group
Ø Reduce distance to any “not working” units

ØCheck hot-shoe tting
ØChoose SYNC cable instead of hot-shoe connection

ØReposition the unit
ØIncrease the distance to walls and ceilings
ØPosition the antenna of Transmitter and Receiver
ØUse an RX extension cable to reduce the distance between

modules

ØTo check if the single RX unit is found
ØPress “Search” in the EL-Skyport Software to activate

PnP-Auto detection
ØCheck EL-Skyport Documentation for more information
