12. Place the white nylon bead at the end of the optic tube over the infrared sensor on your slave ash as indicated by
the graphics in Fig 2-2 through Fig 2-5 for your Slave ash model.
It is okay to bend the optic tube, but try to avoid a bend radius any tighter than the radius of a standard #2 pencil.
Even if a “kink” is formed in the outer tubing, the inner bers are not easily damaged. The bers are made of super
exible plastic, not glass. The tube tends to hold its shape a bit.
NOTE: The large red transparent piece on the front of your ash is NOT the infrared sensor. In fact this area has noth-
ing to do with the wireless communication system - it is simply a focus assist light. The correct sensor is a shiny dark
black window on the outside of your slave ash unit.
13. Attach one of the supplied adhesive vinyl strips supplied for your ash unit over the optic and the sensor on your
slave ash unit. It is recommended to completely cover the optic and sensor to allow freedom of working outdoors
in direct sunlight as there’s no longer a concern of the sun “blinding” the sensor. This also results in the most secure
mounting of the optic.
An alternative version includes a small circular opening in the vinyl. Use this version if other photographers or
assistants will be attempting to trigger the slave ash unit with the traditional visible light systems. This alternate
attachment still secures the optic in place while allowing visibility of the sensor to other master ashes.
NOTE: It is okay if the slave ash “sees” the visible signal from the master ash on your camera and the signal from the
RadioPopper system at the same time.
NOTE: The supplied adhesive vinyl strips make for a clean install, but you could always use any kind of tape for this
purpose should you run out of vinyl strips. Replacement strips may also be ordered at a very reasonable price from the
RadioPopper online store.
14. When mounting the P1 Receiver in the future by pressing the Velcro pads together - a much greater bond may be
achieved between the Velcro hook and latch sides by pressing rmly, then applying a slight rotational force between
the Slave ash unit and the P1 Receiver. This tends to “set” the Velcro pads together.
15. Take another deep breath. We’re almost there. I know the excitement is killing you. We’ve all been there. Please
take a few minutes and read the rest of the manual no matter how eager you may be to go play.
