QuadTriggering allows you to set up four sets of remote flashes or cameras and trip any combination with one transmitter. Program each receiver to the same channel, but different sub-channels: A, B, C, or D. You will be able to turn them on or off from the transmitter. If you want only three remotes to fire, simply turn one of them off, by pressing the appropriate sub-channel key on your transmitter, and fire the ones you want. Channels 17-32 on the Max enable Quad-Triggering. Please note that channels 17-32 cannot be used with any older PocketWizard products or the PocketWizard Plus. Example: You could, for example, have four receivers with strobes attached to them in four corners of a room set up on channel 17A, 17B, 17C and 17D. If you set your transmitter to channel 17, you can control which strobes or cameras are activated for each shot. Setup for Quad-Triggering 1. See SETUP section to perform initial connections 2. Set the transmitter to any channel numbered 17-32 (but pick one that someone else in your area is not using!Using the A, B, C, D, and L keys, choose which strobes you wish to fire. Each time you press one of the A-B-C-D-L keys, that channel will be toggled on or off. The L key is the strobe attached to the "To Flash" connector on the Transmitter. If the letter is not shown, the respective flash (or flashes) will not fire. The transmitter will show, by default, A - B - C - D - L when set to channel 17. If you or someone else has used your PocketWizard Max before, some or none of the letters may be showing. Set all the receivers to the same channel number as the transmitter. [. . . ] The DC Input jack can be used with wall-wart type AC adapter rated for 3-6VDC. It is also acceptable to use other supplies if the ACTUAL measured voltage is 3. 5-9V DC. The MAX will draw approximately 15mA with the backlight off, or 50mA with the backlight on. Press the TEST button on the transmitter, see if the LED lights. If it does, the Transmitter is probably working right. [. . . ]
