Instruction Manual
IRT-1 Transmitter
The Dyna-Lite 2 channel transmitter/receiver is the most sophisticated flash synchronization
system available. It is designed and manufactured for Dyna-Lite by Wein Products
TM of Cali-
fornia. The IRT-1 transmitter will operate both Wein Pro-Sync and the built-in two channel
receiver in the Dyna-Lite “X”, “XL”, “XR” and “DR” series power packs.
When activated, the small infra-red (IR) transmitter produces a very powerful coded train of
optical IR pulses. This feature gives the transmitter its tremendous optical IR “punch,” ena-
bling it to reach out for long distances. The IR signal actually bounces around objects, skip-
ping along the ground, floors, and ceilings, even bounces behind you off the foreground.
Most VCR’s, TV’s, modern remote controls and military ranging systems use a low power
version of this ultra reliable, non-jamable system.
The IR coded signal is received and processed by the micro power “brain” of the Dyna-Lite
receiver. When set to the correct incoming channel of the transmitter, the receiver produces
the fastest ever synchronization between camera and remote strobe by a protected channel
photo remote control. This micro powered miracle of modern technology then fires your
Dyna-Lite power pack.
Specifications
Sync Speed: Less than 500 microseconds
Power Source: Two AA alkaline batteries
Battery Life: Over 3000 shots per set
Battery Control: Exclusive battery saver circuit shuts down battery drain
when main power bank is fully charged, allowing transmitter to
be left on all day.
Spectral Output: 850 to 1000 nanometers
Recycle Time: First 4 shots at 4 per second, next shot at 2 per second
Distance: Under most indoor situations, 500 foot omni directional,
shade receiver lens for maximum distance.
Instructions
Put two fresh “AA” alkaline batteries in the transmitter and wait 15 seconds after switch-
ing ON for full power and neon “ready” light to flash.
The transmitter may be mounted on your camera hot shoe. Use the supplied sync ca-
ble to connect the transmitter to the camera. You can now fire off the first 4 shots as
fast as your camera can recycle. Subsequent shots will be available at about two per
second continuously.
To change channels on the remote, simply set the transmitter to the desired channel by
moving the switch to either the “1” or “2” position.
Make sure channel selection is the same on both the transmitter and the receiver.
Note: A fresh set of alkalines should last approximately 3000 shots, and you can
leave the transmitter running all day with no harm to the batteries due to the
build-in Battery Saver Circuit.
Because of the receivers’ great sensitivity, it is not necessary in most set-ups to aim
the transmitter directly at the receivers’ sensing dome.
Caution:
IR Transmitters will trigger most standard optical slave units. If this happens, the strobe as-
sociated with proper transmission to the infra-red receiver will misfire. For this reason, stan-
dard slave units cannot be used in the same area as any infra-red model.
Warranty
The Dynalite IRT-1 Transmitter is covered under a limited two year warranty period. The
manufacturer warranty is void if the unit is opened by anyone other than an authorized
Dynalite service station. Dynalite reserves the right to dispute a warranty claim if damage is
due to unit being mishandled, dropped, or used in any way other than intended use.
