triggeringtheunit
There are a number of ways to trigger the
Gemini Rx monolight. OPEN FLASH (Fig1.)-
For testing or multiple ash applications
the ‘Test Flash’ button can be used. SYNC
SOCKET (Fig 2.)- The standard 1⁄4” jack
socket on the rear panel of the unit may be
used for direct connection to a camera or
trigger system. PHOTOCELL (Fig 3.) - The
Gemini has a built-in switchable (on/off)
photocell enabling the unit to be triggered
by an external ash source. PULSAR RADIO
TRIGGER (Fig 4.) - The Gemini Rx features
a built-in Pulsar radio trigger receiver so can
be red by a Pulsar or Pulsar Tx transmitter.
Two units may be connected together using
a ‘Y’ connector. The sync connection on the
Gemini Rx operates at +5V and is safe to use
with digital cameras.
usingthebuilt-inpulsar
To re the Gemini Rx using a Pulsar radio
trigger system, rst ensure the unit is
switched ‘on’. In order for the built-in Pulsar
radio receiver to re the Gemini Rx unit it
must rst be synchronised with the users
chosen Pulsar transmitter.
To sync the built-in receiver with a Pulsar
transmitter rstly press the ‘sync’ button (Fig
5.) until the ‘Cell’ icon (Fig 3.) is illuminated.
Once the ‘Cell’ icon is illuminated press and
hold the ‘Sync’ button, the ‘Cell’ icon will go
out and the ‘Radio’ icon (Fig 4.) will turn on
and then start ashing.
When the ‘Radio’ icon starts ashing release
the ‘Sync’ button and then press the test/
open ash button on the Pulsar transmitter
several times until the ‘Radio’ icon stops
ashing, the Gemini Rx unit will ash to
conrm the built-in Pulsar receiver has been
set in occordance to the signal received from
the Pulsar transmitter and that the unit is
ready.
changingthepulsarstudio/channelsetting
If the Gemini Rx radio receiver is set to a
specic studio/channel and the user needs
to change the setting, simply scroll through
the trigger options using the ‘sync’ button
(Fig 5.) until the ‘Cell’ icon is highlighted.
When the ‘Cell’ icon is highlighted set your
Pulsar transmitter to the new studio/channel
setting required.
Once you have set up the new studio/
channel setting on your Pulsar transmitter,
press and hold the ‘Sync’ button until the
‘Cell’ icon goes out and the ‘Radio’ icon (Fig
4.) starts ashing.
Once the ‘Radio’ icon starts to ash, release
the ‘Sync’ button and press the test/open
ash button on your Pulsar transmitter
several times until the ‘Radio’ icon stops
ashing, when the Pulsar receiver is again
set to the desired studio/channel setting the
Gemini Rx will ash to conrm the change
and that the unit is ready to start shooting.
