| Post subject: | AC3 Control of Einsteins |
I purchased 4 Einstein units with the Power MC2 and am using my Mini TT1 with an AC3 controller. My problem is the following: when I want to shut down the flash on one of my two Einstein strobes using the switch on the AC3 module, the strobes still ends up firing at 1/256 power. Although the high aperture on my camera will render the strobe at 1/256 power insignificant, I still want the AC3 to have the ability to completely suppress the flash but have not found a way to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. CS |

That's odd. I can fully turn off my Einstein from my AC3. Any chance that the optical slave could be on and somehow triggering it? |

I would concur that the slave eye is the most likely culprit, though I have not seen this before. Also, make sure all remotes and the E640 have the latest firmware updates. The link to E640 firmware can be found below. http://www.paulcbuff.com/e640.php |

I experienced the same problem today - I am not able to turn off individual zones on my Einsteins equipped with MC2's using the AC3 controller, i.e. turning off zone C does not turn off the Einstein that is associated with zone C. Likewise if I turn off zone A the Einstein on zone A still fires. If I turn off both zone A & B then neither zone A or B Einstein fires. However I am able to control the up and down output of each Einstein from the AC3. I noticed that the original post for this was May 2012 and am wondering what the solution is/was. I am running the latest software and firmware and my slave eye is off. |

Did you ensure the slave eye was off? (two down and to the left arrows on the back panel of the light) |
