DELAY SETUP

Set a delay to your ELB unit to flash with a specific delay after triggering (e.g. second curtain).
• Set delay (in ms) : Time in which the unit should fire a flash after the camera shutter has been
opened. The delay time can be programmed from 1ms (0.001 s.) to 10000ms (10 s.). Please
see the suggested values in the table page 10 if you want to have second curtain sync via
skyport.
Note : to fine-tune the miliseconds, the scale can be modified in 1, 10, 100 and 1000 steps. Press

the User preset modelling lamp button to choose your step. This option is only active in the flash
delay setup menu.

STROBO SETUP

Take an image with stroboscopic effects and open camera shutter. The overlapping moving
sequence is visible in one image.
• Frequency : Number of flashes per second. Programmable from 1 to 10Hz.
• Duration window : Time during of the moving sequence you wish to capture. Programmable
from 0.5 s. to 5 s.
Note : The unit must be set in fast recycling time in the "power settings" menu. If the error sound
is heard, this means the recycling time cannot follow the settings. Please reduce the Hz setting or
the flash power to a lower value.

POWER SETTINGS

Power settings help you define standby and when to auto-off to save energy. You can also define
recycling time depending on the battery level left.
The standby option lets you decide after how long the unit goes into standby mode, enabling you
to quickly turn the unit back on when needed.
The auto-off option does just what its name suggests. When left unattended the unit will switch
off automatically after the indicated time.
