Product Manual

Offering an 800W equivalent LED, the LINK pairs a brighter light with a quiet fan, for those doing video
work.
Color correction domes are available (separately) in both FULL and HALF CTO.
The BATTERY segment is not accessible via the rotary dial and is only used to visually indicate battery life.
This segment will be EMPTY when no battery is connected.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
The battery, sold separately, slides into the channel on the underside of the unit, covering the AC input, and
locking into place.
BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR
The battery life is indicated by the small lights on the rear of the battery and are illumiated when the button
is pushed.
A fully charged battery will provide approximately 250 full power flashes before needing to be recharged.
The LED modeling light of the LINK can be powered via the battery however, be aware if running at full
power the battery will last about 45 min. (assuming no flash use during this time).
REMOVING THE BATTERY
The battery can be removed from the LINK by pressing down on the tab and sliding out from the channel.
It is recommended to remove the battery prior to transporting or storing the LINK.
EXPECTED LIFETIME
The battery should last between 2 - 3 years under normal use.
MAINTAINING THE BATTERY
If you aren’t going to use the battery for an extended period of time (>3 months) it is best to leave the
batteries partially discharged (40-60% of full charge) rather than fully charged.
LINK BATTERY
The battery charger, sold separately, can charge up to two LINK batteries consecutively. The charger has
indicator lights notifying what charging state the battery is in. When two batteries are charging, one will
charge fully, and then the second will begin to charge. It takes approximately 90 min. for a depleted battery
to be charged to full.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
MODELING LIGHT FOR VIDEO USE
SLAVE
The slave eye is on, causing the LINK unit to flash simultaneously whenever it “sees” the flash from another
unit (still active whether or not the sync jack is in use).
REMOTE
This setting activates the internal CyberSync Transceiver. Additionally, you can set the LINK to REMOTE
when utilizing the CSXCV and PocketWizard MC2 port at the top of the unit.
When using a PocketWizard MC2 the FREQ and CHAN segments will be empty. To make adjustments to
the ZONE, CONTROL, and CHANNEL segements for the PocketWizard, complete the following steps:
PRESS AND HOLD the rotary dial to enter the selection menu.
The segment that you are in will blink.
SHORT PRESS in on the rotary dial to confirm your selection AND to move to the next segment.
Following the SYNC segment, the LINK will then provide the appropriate PocketWizard fields
beginning with “2on” for ZONE, followed by “ctl” for CONTROL, and lastly “ch” for CHANNEL.
ROTATE THE DIAL to navigate between the available options in each segment.
SHORT PRESS in on the rotary dial to confirm your selection AND to move to the next segment.
SLAVE / REMOTE
Both SLAVE and REMOTE are activated.
NONE
Set to NONE when plugging into the SYNC JACK for firing the unit.
SYNC MODES
The frequency (FREQ) ranges from 1 - 16. Each flash unit in your setup should all be set to the same
frequency, so that they all fire together.
FREQUENCY
The channel (CHAN) ranges from 1 - 16. Each flash unit in your setup should be set to its own individual
channel so that it can be controlled independently from each light in your setup. The CHAN is only
necessary when using the CyberSync remote system (i.e. CyberCommander, CyberSense, or BUFF App).
CHANNEL
Recycle indication is provided by an audible beep and by the modeling lamp dimming during recycle, then
restoring brightness when recycle is complete. These can be set to be used separately or in conjunction
with one another. It can also be set to OFF if no indication is desired.
