User Guide BOWENS Introduction Congratulations on choosing the Bowens PulsarRadio Trigger. Designed using the latest technology to produce a unit that is simple to operate,Pulsaris capable of triggering the widest range of photographic equipment including studio flash, cameras and light meters. Pulsarcan be used as either a Transmitter or Receiver allowing the ability to quickly change your lighting settings. You can easily substitute one Pulsarwith another by simply changing its mode or Channel settings. This is just one example of the versatility of Pulsar. In order to fully understand the many studio uses for your new Pulsar Radio Trigger, please take a moment to read through this user guide. Included in box: 1 x Instruction Manual 1 x Pulsar 2 x AAA Batteries 1 x Fixing Bracket 1 x Elastic Cord with Ends 4 x Rubber Feet 1 x Sync Cord 1 x Jack Plug Adapter Troubleshooting Try this first: Check the indicator on each unit is 'single flashing' indicating that the unit is ON and the battery is OK. Set both transmitter and receiver to studio ‘A’ and channel ‘All’ Turn all units OFF then back ON. Note: Units may not operate correctly if used in very close proximity to each other. Indicator on unit does not light when test button pressed. Try replacing batteries. Make sure power switch is set to either Transmit or Receive. Remove external power connector, to use internal batteries. Unit does not receive code. Set both transmitter and receiver channel select to All. Try using units in another area away from metal objects. Unit does not trigger device. Try the test button on the receiver to confirm electrical connection. Check cable connections. Try the alternative Sync output of the Pulsar. Unit is continually transmitting. Make sure test button is not obstructed. Try disconnecting external trigger sources. Check Battery condition. Turn PulsarOFF then back ON. In the unlikely event of a problem or fault with your Pulsarplease contact Bowens for additional help or to arrange a repair. 14www.bowensinternational.com3www.bowensinternational.com Operating Manual Contents DescriptionPage Introduction3 Channel Codes & Switches4 Power Requirements5 Mounting Bracket6 Mounting Pulsar7 Orientation8 Using Channels9 Metering Flash Settings10 Studio Operation11 Standard Connection12 Advanced Connection13 Troubleshooting14 Specifications15 Specifications Batteries 2 x AAA ,MN2400 or LR03 Battery Life Approx (Before low battery indication) Transmit Mode:Alkaline.... 560 Hours Nicad....... 350 Hours Receive Mode:Alkaline.... 224 Hours Nicad....... 140 Hours Typical Use:Alkaline.... 200 Hours Nicad....... 125 Hours Sync Voltage Out:3.3V max Size(L) 90mm x (W) 49mm x (H) 44mm (Typical dimensions including hot shoe) Weight122g (4.3 oz) Range100m (333 ft) Frequency 433 MHz (Europe & USA) ConformityFCC part 15 - CE Trigger Timings1/2000 500μS Delay Max Fixing MethodsCamera - PulsarHotshoe attachment.
