KDS-PW3-100Remote Flash Control Transceiver

Quick Guide 340.00 - 354.00 MHz, US FCC/IC 433.42 - 434.42 MHz, CE The Plus III is a radio transceiver, capable of acting as a transmitter or receiver for triggering remote flashes and cameras. It requires at least one other PocketWizard radio for wireless triggering. It can be connected to almost any remote flash or camera with the proper connecting cable. See the cable finder at PocketWizard.com to find the correct cables for your flashes and cameras. • Please read this Quick Guide thoroughly before operating. • Visit wiki.PocketWizard.com for complete operating information. IMPORTANT: US FCC/Canada frequency radios are NOT compatible with CE frequency radios and vice versa.

Otherwise unwanted triggering or erratic behavior may occur. • If operation is erratic, check batteries in all equipment first. • You will need a PocketWizard Transceiver/Receiving PocketWizard radio for each remote flash. • Set all radios to the same channel. INCLUDED IN BOX: Lanyard Loop USB Connector Flash/Camera Port Battery Door Latch Battery Door (PG. 4) 1/4 - 20 Mount Transceiver • Plus III Transceiver • PC Sync Cable • 3.5mm (1/8” Miniphone) Cable • 6.35mm (1/4” Phone) Adapter • Lanyard • Quick Guide 3 Transceiver Battery Level Channel Triggering Mode Half/Full Press Indicator Selected Zones Illustrations FPO • Always turn OFF all equipment (PocketWizard radios, electronic flashes, cameras, etc.) before making connections or replacing batteries. • The Plus III will operate reliably using almost any pair of ~1.5 volt AA (IEC:LR6) batteries. Rechargeable batteries will work, though operation time may be reduced and battery level display may not be as accurate. See wiki.PocketWizard.com for more information. Using your Connecting: Connect a Plus III to your camera via the hot shoe. This will be your transmit- ting radio. Connect a Plus III to each of your remote flashes using a connecting cable (see PocketWizard.com/support/cable_finder). These will be your receiving radios. Powering On: Install batteries noting the proper polarity. To turn on your Plus III, hold down the Power On/Off and MODE Button <> for about two seconds. The Status LED blinks green every few seconds to indicate normal operation. It will blink red in sync with a trigger. Hold down the Power On/Off and MODE Button for about two seconds to turn off your Plus III. Channels & Zones: Your Plus III needs to be on the same channel as other PocketWizard radios. Channels can be set via the Plus III’s Channel Up/Down Buttons <>. Any transmitting PocketWizard radio can trigger a receiving Plus III and a Plus III can trigger any receiving PocketWizard radio. When using Channels 17-32, you can specify Zones A, B, C, and D. See “Channels and Zones” section for more info. Plus III Transceiver Basics 5 NOTE: The Plus III slides into hot shoe with the LCD screen facing the side of the camera. See diagram below. Connect the transmitting Plus III to camera hot shoe and tighten the locking ring Connect the receiving Plus III to your flashes with the appropriate sync cable Triggering a Remote Flash with your Plus ® III Transceiver Remote Flash Triggering 1. Connect a Plus III to your remote flash via the appropriate sync cable. 2. Attach a Plus III to your camera’s hot shoe. You may also connect the Plus III radio to your camera’s PC sync port using the included cable. 3. Select the Channel and Zone A, B, C, or D via Channel Up/Down Buttons <> and Zone Toggle Buttons. Set any other PocketWizard radios to a matching Channel and Zone. (See the “Using Zones” section for more information) 4. Take pictures normally at or below your camera’s X-Sync speed. Momentarily pressing the TEST button will test trigger the flash. Camera with Plus III in Hot Shoe (Transmitting) Any PocketWizard receiver connected to remote flash (Receiving) NOTE: With the transmitting and receiving PocketWizard radios set to the same channel and zone, remote flashes will be synchronized with the camera. To find the right sync cable for your flash visit the Cable Finder at PocketWizard.com/support/cable_finder 7 Remote Camera Triggering Triggering a Remote Camera with your Plus III Transceiver 1. Connect a Plus III to your remote camera via the appropriate remote camera cable. 2. Select the Channel and Zone A, B, C, or D via the Channel Up/Down Buttons <> and Zone Toggle Buttons. 3. Press the TEST button on the PocketWizard radio in your hands. The remote camera will trigger. If the PocketWizard radio in your hands is also a Plus III, you can pre-release the remote camera by pressing the TEST button half way <>. This wakes up the camera and lets it respond more quickly and consistently. It can also engage autofocus. To read more about remote camera triggering visit the PocketWizard wiki at http://wiki.PocketWizard.com/ Camera in hand OR Plus III (Transmitting) Remote Camera (Receiving) NOTE: The transmitting PocketWizard radio triggers the receiving PocketWizard radio, which fires the remote camera via a remote camera cable. To find the right remote camera cable for your equipment visit the Cable Finder at PocketWizard.com/support/cable_finder Using Auto-Relay Mode 1. Set the transmitting PocketWizard radio in your hands to a desired channel and zone. 2. Set the relaying Plus III for your remote camera to the same channel as the radio in your hands and set Triggering Mode to TxRx. 3. Connect the relaying Plus III’s Flash/Camera port to the remote camera triggering port of the camera via a remote camera cable. 4. Slide the relaying Plus III into your remote camera’s hot shoe. 5. Connect you…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this test program was to demonstrate compliance of the P3-FCC PocketWizard Plus III Transceiver to FCC Part 15.231 and RSS-210, Annex 1. Page 2 of 58 Retlif Testing Laboratories, Test Report R-5548N-1, LPA Design, Inc. FCC ID: KDS-PW3-100, IC: 2170A-PW3100 Tests Performed The test methods performed on the P3-FCC Pocket Wizard Plus III Transceiver are shown below: FCC Part 15, Subpart C Industry Canada RSS-210 Issue 8, December 2010 Industry Canada RSS-GEN Issue 3, December 2010 Test Method 15.231(b) A1.1.2(1) N/A Field Strength of Fundamental Emissions 15.231(b)(2) A1.1.2(2) 4.5 Duty Cycle Determination 15.231(b)(3) A1.1.2(3) N/A Field Strength of Spurious Emissions 15.231(c) A1.1.3 N/A Bandwidth of Emissions N/A N/A 4.10 Receiver Spurious Emissions General Test Requirements 1. The measurement procedures of ANSI C63.4:2003 were utilized as specified in FCC Part 15, Subpart C, Section 15.31(a)(3) and IC RSS-GEN Section 4.1. 2. All radiated emissions measurements were performed on an Open Area Test Site (OATS), listed with the FCC and IC, in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(d) and IC Section 4.2. 3. The level of the fundamental field strength was recorded with a new battery installed in the EUT, in accordance with FCC Section 15.231(e) and IC Section 4.3(e). 4. All measurements were performed at the specified 3 meter test distance as required by FCC Section 15.31(f) and IC Section 7.25. 5. The EUT was rotated throughout 360 degrees for all radiated emissions measurements as specified in FCC Section 15.31(f)(5) and IC Section 4.3(h). 6. All readily accessible EUT controls were adjusted in such a manner as to maximize the level of emissions in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(g) and IC Section 4.3(h). 7. Appropriate accessories were attached to all EUT ports during the performance of radiated emissions measurements as required by FCC Section 15.31(i) and IC Section 4.3(d). 8. The EUT operated over the frequency range of 340 MHz to 354 MHz. A total range of 14 MHz. Testing was performed with the device operating at a. 3 frequencies, 1 at the top, 1 in the middle and 1 at the bottom of the range of operation in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(m) and IC Section 4.3(f)(g). 9. The frequency spectrum was investigated from the lowest frequency generated in the device up to the 10 th harmonic of the highest fundamental frequency in accordance with FCC Section 15.33(a)(1) and IC Section 4.9. 10. All measurements were taken with a peak detector function as specified in FCC Section 15.35(a) and IC Section 4.4. The duty cycle, calculated in accordance with FCC Section 15.35(c) and IC Section 4.5, was applied to the peak readings in order to obtain the average value of emissions. The peak value of emissions was verified to meet the 20 dB requirement of FCC Section 15.35(b) and IC Section 7.2.1. Page 3 of 58 Retlif Testing Laboratories, Test Report R-5548N-1, LPA Design, Inc.
