2. RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEM 2.1 (RFS 2.1)
The radio frequency system broncolor RFS 2.1 consists of the following ele-
ments:
> RFS 2.1 as transmitter on the camera
> RFS 2.1 as receiver at the power packs / monolights without internal RFS 2 or
RFS 2.1 radio frequency system
> RFS 2 or RFS 2.1 as internal radio frequency system integrated in the power
packs / monolights
RFS 2
or
RFS 2.1
2.1 RFS 2.1 transceiver as transmitter
The RFS 2.1 transceiver is used to remote-control one or more broncolor
power packs or monolights equipped with RFS 2 or RFS 2.1 interface using
radio signals to trigger flashes. Power packs or monolights without integra-
ted RFS 2 or RFS 2.1 interfaces can be operated by connecting an RFS 2.1
transceiver (as receiver) to them (see chapter 1).

To enable several RFS 2 or RFS 2.1 devices to communicate with each other,
they must all be set at the same studio address. RFS 2 and RFS 2.1 devices
with the same studio address can be simultaneously remote controlled. Thus,
thanks to the various studio addresses, several RFS 2 and RFS 2.1 groups of
units can be independently remote controlled without interfering with each
other.
Flash triggering is synchronized either via the central contact of the hot shoe
or the sync jack of the camera. Outdoors, the remote control range is up to
50 m, indoors, it is up to 30 m. The transceiver is powered by a lithium button
cell (Li-Mn CR2450). To minimise energy consumption, the transceiver is set
to an energy-saving mode after eight hours have elapsed. If a flash triggering
action occurs through the camera whilst the RFS 2 or RFS 2.1 transceiver is
in energy-saving mode, a slight delay of the synchronization with the camera
shutter release can take place. The RFS 2 or RFS 2.1 transceiver quits the
energy-saving mode after this flash release.
Attention: Although this radio system allows the selection of up to 99 stu-
dio addresses, the number of actually available channels depends on the
connected RFS 2 or RFS 2.1 flash unit.
For detailed instructions, please consult the operating instructions of the
respective flash unit.
