Thank you for buying the Kaiser MultiTrig AS 5.1 radio
trigger.
The MultiTrig AS 5.1 can be used as a camera remote release and as a flash trigger. The function mode
is automatically detected by the trigger and switched
accordingly (AS = Auto-Sensing).
The remote shutter release function works with many
Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Pentax, Samsung and Sigma cameras. Additional release cords are available for many
Minolta, Olympus and Sony cameras.
Four standard A AA batteries are required to operate
the MultiTrig AS 5.1. They are not included in the box.
Additional receivers are available separately in case
you want to trigger more than one flash or release
more than one camera.
Please read these instructions carefully prior to operating your MultiTrig AS 5.1 to make yourself familiar
with its functions.

Mount the MultiTrig AS 5.1T transmitter on the hot
shoe of your camera and lock it by rotating the knurled
ring (9).
Slide an external speedlight onto the hot shoe (14)
of the MultiTrig AS 5.1R receiver. You may attach the
receiver on a tripod using the 1/4“ connecting thread
(21). Switch on the receiver and the speedlight. Press
the test button (13) to trigger the flash.
To connect the MultiTrig AS 5.1R receiver with a studio
flash, you must use the sync cord (26) with 2.5 mm and
3.5 mm jack plugs. Insert the 2.5 mm jack into the flash
socket (17) of the receiver and the 3.5 mm jack into the
sync port of your studio flash. If the studio flash has a

Switch on the MultiTrig AS 5.1T transmitter. Press the
release button of your camera. The status indicators (1
and 12) of transmitter and receiver will light up red and
the flash will be triggered.
Remar ks:
MultiTrig AS 5.1 has a wake-up feature that will work
with most of the Canon and Nikon speedlights. If the
flash is in sleep mode, half pressing the camera release will wake it up, ready to fire it at the full press.
15
With other speedlights you have to end the sleep
mode manually.
If you are using MultiTrig AS 5.1 with cameras and/
or speedlights other than Canon or Nikon, it might
be necessary to synchronize MultiTrig AS 5.1 prior
to shooting. To achieve this, press the transmitter release button (2) before you take the picture. Or press
the camera release button instead. The next time you
press the camera release button the speedlight is triggered synchronously. If there are no shots within the
next 30 seconds, it might be necessary to repeat the
synchronization procedure as described above.
TTL Pass-Through (only with Canon and Nikon
speedlights) and external speedlights (fig. H and I)
A Canon or Nikon TTL speedlight mounted on top
of the MultiTrig AS 5.1T transmitter (mounted on the
camera hot shoe) can be used in full T TL. For other
flashguns there is a centre contact for synchronous
firing without TTL.
The MultiTrig AS 5.1R receiver is designed for manual
flash operation. Therefore the flash output has to be
set at the flash. Transmission of TTL control signals
from transmitter to receiver is not possible.
