Radio Relay (Repeater) Mode (Receive Only)
This mode lets you deploy another MultiMAX to increase
your range. It receives and transmits on the same channel.
To activate Radio Relay (Repeater), set the MultiMAX to
RECEIVE on your channel of choice, then press the “L” key
twice. You should now see RPT on the display.
Pressing “L” toggles between these modes:
• RLY = Standard Camera Relay. It also displays the channel to be used when
Transmitting. This is set in TRANSMIT mode. Read more about Relay Mode in your
MultiMAX manual.
• RPT = Radio Relay (Repeater). There is no transmit channel to set in this mode. It
uses the channel as displayed in the upper right.
• No relay function (off = no display). The radio operates only as a receiver.
Make sure the zone of the repeater is set to one you are using on your transmitter.
You can use all of the other zones on your transmitting unit and the RPT MultiMAX will
relay your selected zones as long as it is also on one of the selected zones.
Deploy the repeating MultiMAX where it effectively triggers the remote unit, and can
be effectively triggered by your transmitting unit.
IMPORTANT: Do not deploy more than one repeater to cover the same remote.
Extra repeating units will step on each other and make it difcult for your remote
to get a trigger – bathing an area with repeaters is likely to worsen the remote’s
performance. You can use additional units to further increase the distance from
your remote, but each repeater should be deployed to cover only one leg of the
journey. Each repeating unit increases the radio delay by ~0.0018 seconds
(~1/800). If you are using the RPT unit for remote camera triggering,
this small delay will be unnoticeable. If you are using the RPT unit for
remote ash triggering, this may affect the fastest shutter speed you
can use.
