| Post subject: | Alienbee 800 Not Firing |
I just unboxed a brand new Alienbee 800. I assembled per the instructions and the red test button does not trigger the flash. Furthermore, the CyberSync does not fir the flash. When I unplug the telephone jack from the back of the flash unit, the flash triggers. It also triggers when I plug the telephone cable back into the unit. When I unplug the flash unit from the cybersync unit it will fire in slave mode when another light is triggered. I purchased three of these lights. Two work and are triggered just fine by the test button on the back and by the Cyber Commander. This other seems DOA. Any recommendations? |

Are you using a Cyber Commander? If not, you should not be using the RJ11 telephone cord, rather you should be using the 1/8 to 1/8 cable. If you are using a CC, it sounds like the light is performing properly, but there is a setting that is keeping it from firing. Make sure the power slider on the light is set to FULL. Make sure you have a vertical (blue) bar on the Cyber Commander that correlates to the channel of this reciever. Make sure the Cyber Commander is set to a channel, or ALL, and not a group (GRP). Once everything is fully set up, fire the lights from the ALL setting on the Cyber Commander. |
