Installation: RadioPopper PX Transmitter
1) Remove the battery compartment door on the top side of the unit.
2) Remove the cover and insert two (2) AAA size batteries into the battery holder. It is very important to follow the
polarity direction indicated on the circuit board to ensure unit operation and avoid possible transmitter damage.
3) About one second after inserting the batteries the Power light will blink briey indicating proper battery
placement and that the unit is functioning correctly.
4) Replace the battery compartment door.
5) Select the approximate mounting location on top of your Master Flash or IR Commander (supplied by your camera
manufacturer). Ensure this area is clean. Use the included alcohol swab to clean this area, as well as the under side of
the PX Transmitter unit.
6) Attach the Velcro pieces together. Remove both backing sheets and ax the joined Velcro strips rst to the
under side center of the PX Transmitter unit. We recommend placing the “rough” hook side of the Velcro against the
transmitter, and the soft side of the Velcro against your ash or IR commander.
7) Hold the PX Transmitter with Velcro attached over the approximate mounting location on the intended Master
ash unit. Compare location to the picture in Fig 2.1. Press down rmly and hold pressure for thirty seconds to tightly
bond the Velcro strip adhesive to both the Master ash unit and the under side of the PX Transmitter.
8) Do not pull the Velcro apart for several hours. The adhesive on the Velcro will set to full strength in 20 to 30 hours.
Care should be taken during this time to avoid upsetting the bond being formed between the Velcro and plastic to
ensure maximum long term adhesion.
9) Install the supplied antenna (the straight one) by screwing it onto the antenna connector on the face of the PX
Transmitter.
WARNING: Do not power up the PX Transmitter without the antenna installed - doing so could damage the output
stage of the radio transmitter.
WARNING: Use only the supplied antenna on the PX Transmitter. Using any other antenna is a violation of Federal
Law, and may actually cause damage to the output stage of the radio transmitter.
10) When mounting the PX Transmitter in the future by pressing the Velcro pads together - a greater bond may be
achieved between the Velcro hook and latch sides by pressing rmly, then applying a slight rotational force between
the Master ash unit and the PX Transmitter. This tends to “set” the Velcro pads together.
Installation: RadioPopper PX Receiver
1) Remove battery compartment cover and insert batteries, observing for a brief blinking of the Green Power LED, just
as you did with the PX Transmitter. Replace the battery compartment cover.
2) Place the supplied foam gromet over the IR light imission port (noted by a green circle) - align the hole in the
gromet to the IR light emission port.
3) Select a mounting location where the IR light emission port will emit directly into the IR sensor of your slave ash.
See diagrams for appropriate and suggested mounting locations.
4) Ensure the mounting area is clean. Use the included alcohol swab to clean this area, as well as the under side of the
PX Receiver unit.
5) Attach the Velcro pieces together. Remove both backing sheets and ax the joined Velcro strips rst to the under
side center of the PX Receiver unit.
6) Hold the PX Receiver with Velcro attached over the approximate mounting location on the intended Slave ash unit.
Press down rmly and hold pressure for thirty seconds to tightly bond the Velcro strip adhesive to both the Slave ash
unit and the under side of the PX Receiver.
7) Allow the adhesive on the Velcro pads to set for 20 to 30 hours before placing signicant strain on them, just as you
did with the Transmitter mounting.
8) Install the supplied antenna (the one with the 90 degree bend) by screwing it onto the antenna connector on the
face of the PX Receiver.
9) Insure the supplied foam gromet forms a light-tight seal between the PX Receiver and the black IR sensor window
on your slave ash. Adjust ne placement as necessary to achieve a light-tight seal.
NOTE: The large red transparent piece on the front of your ash is NOT the infrared sensor. In fact this area has
nothing 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.
