Introduction
Thank you for choosing the PowerSync Radio Slave System, designed 
using the latest technology to produce a device that is simple to 
operate, while providing photographers with the highest quality radio 
slave system at an affordable price. The PowerSync System is 
designed strictly for ash units. It cannot be used with hot lights or 
continuous light sources. The PowerSync System allows the 
photographer to trigger the light source wirelessly from the camera 
(ts most cameras). It can also be used to trigger a remote camera 
that has an electronic shutter release connection. Remote shutter 
triggering requires a compatible motor drive cable (see Accessories).
The PowerSync Radio Slave System is available in two versions. The 
AC 100-240 volt version must be plugged into a wall socket. The DC 
version works with two standard AA batteries. The DC Receiver will 
also accept an AC adapter (DC 7V-9V/300mA). The Transmitter can be 
used for either model and operates on one 3V CR2450 battery. You 
must have both a Transmitter and either model of Receiver for the 
system to work. Your Transmitter can trigger as many Receivers as 
you want. As long as all Receivers are within range, and are set to the 
same frequency as the Transmitter, your Transmitter can trigger as 
many lights as your setup requires.
In order to fully understand your new PowerSync Radio Slave System, 
please take a moment to read through this user guide.

Backward Compatibility
The PowerSync 16-80 is backward compatible with the PowerSync 16 
Radio Slave System. 
PowerSync 16 Transmitter to PowerSync 16-80 as Receiver:
The PowerSync 16 transmitter can be used to trigger the PowerSync 
16-80. Set your PowerSync 16-80 to Receiver (Rx) or 
Transmitter/Receiver (Tx/Rx) mode using the M button to accept a 
signal from the PowerSync 16 transmitter. Ensure the channel on both 
devices is identical. See chart below.
PowerSync 16-80 Transmitter to PowerSync 16 as Receiver:
The PowerSync 16-80 can be used to trigger the PowerSync 16 
receiver. Set your PowerSync 16-80 to Transmitter (Tx) or 
Transmitter/Receiver (Tx/Rx) mode using the M button to send a signal. 
Ensure the channel on both devices is identical. See chart below.
For channel selection, the PowerSync 16 system relies on manual 
channel selector switches. Despite the PowerSync 16-80’s digital 
interface, channels on the two devices can be synchronized using the 
chart below as a guide
Note: When using the PowerSync 16 – only 16 channels are available.
The PowerSync 16-80’s backward compatibility with the PowerSync 16 
system will only work if No Group is selected on the PowerSync 16-80.
