  • If a flash is added, select SETUP and SCAN in the setup menu or switch the Transmitter Pro OFF and ON again.
  • The refresh can take several seconds, depending on how many flash units are found and operated by the Transmitter Pro.

Note:
To update the display information after flash power changes have been applied directly to the flash unit, please press the REFRESH button. Changes are not automatically updated, to avoid interferences with the flash triggering.

ROTATION RING

SETUP MENU

SCAN

  • When the Transmitter Pro is switched ON, it will automatically search for Elinchrom flash units with built-in or plug-in EL-Skyport Transceiver modules.
  • The Scan feature is also available in the Setup Menu. A re-scan is required when new flash units have been added to the lighting setup.

To find EL flash units

  • all EL flash units must be switched on and the Skyport Receiver must be activated.
  • all flashes must have a built-in or plug-in Skyport Transceiver RX module.
  • the Transmitter Pro and the EL flash unit must have the same frequency channel settings.

FREQUENCY CHANNELS
Up to 20 Skyport frequency channels can be selected.

Note:

  • Only the latest Elinchrom flash units (ELC and ELB) will support up to 20 frequency channels.
  • All “RX” flash units will support up to 8 channels and some older Elinchrom flash units support up to 4 channels.

ELSP MODE
The Transmitter Pro has two operating modes that offer different shooting functionality.

  • Normal Sync mode (Maximum distance range)
    • Normal mode is compatible with the very first Elinchrom flash units incorporating Skyport.
    • When selected, display illumination and status LED will light up in green.
  • Speed Sync mode (limited distance range)
    The Speed mode enables faster communication and shutter speeds for compatible cameras (i.e. for leaf shutter cameras and some mirrorless). The Hi-Sync or HSS mode activates automatically when faster shutter speeds within 1/8000s are selected with compatible cameras, in both Normal and Speed modes. The display illumination and status LED are displayed in red when speed mode is selected.

Note:

  • The Speed mode reduces the working distance by approximately 50%.
  • The transmitter and the EL flash units must have the same Sync mode settings, either Normal or Speed.
  • Speed Sync mode should not be confused with Hi-Sync or HSS. The Hi-Sync or HSS feature is automatical available in both Normal or Speed modes with compatible cameras.

ODS SETUP

  • The Over-Drive-Sync (ODS) can improve the overall exposure at fast shutter speed settings.
  • ODS relies on flash units with long flash durations. The results will depend on the flash duration of the lights used (which also change at different power levels) and can vary with different types of cameras. Full frame cameras with large sensors and slow shutters are unfortunately the hardest to get good results with, but lights with long enough flash durations can still achieve clean frames to 1/8000th.
  • With ODS fine-tuning, up to 2 f-stops, more light is possible, essential when sunlight must be overpowered.
  • The ODS Setup offers adjustment from 0.1 to 5.0 ms or can be switched off. The ODS value will vary depending on the camera and the flash unit that is used and must be adjusted manually.

Note:

  • When ODS is adjusted, the position of the flash cutoff (dark edge at the top or bottom of the picture) can be moved within the frame.
  • When switched OFF, the flash trigger point will be selected automatically at the higher shutter speed settings of the camera.

AUTO MOD

  • Off
    The modelling light of the Elinchrom flash unit will not change.

  • Shutter**
    Pressing the camera’s shutter button for focusing will switch on the modelling lamp for a few seconds as an aid to focusing in low light. (Not supported by Nikon)

  • DOF
    The Elinchrom flash unit will switch on the modelling lamp for as long as the DOF (Depth of field) button on the camera is held.

AF LIGHT
Activates the Auto-Focus assist light of the Transmitter Pro when the shutter release is half-pressed for focusing (check also camera settings).

  • KEY CLICK
    When activated, pressing any control button will be indicated by a beep tone.

  • SLEEP

    • When not used for a time, the Transmitter Pro will switch to Sleep Mode to save battery power.
    • Delay Sleep mode from 1 to 60 minutes or turn OFF.
  • AUTO-OFF

    • The Transmitter Pro will automatically turn OFF when left unattended for a time.
    • Delay auto-off starts from 1 to 60 minutes or turns OFF.
    • When Sleep mode and Auto Off are both active, the Transmitter Pro will switch the power OFF at the user-set Sleep Mode delay.
  • CONTRAST
    The display contrast can be adjusted from 80 to 120%

  • BACKLIGHT
    The display illumination of the device can be switched on/off

MANUFACTURING RESET

Pressing and holding the left and right Speed buttons for approximately 2 seconds, whilst the Transmitter is switched on, will reset the Transmitter Pro to manufacture settings. All user settings, except the display contrast, will be reset.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
To update the Firmware of the Transmitter Pro, the Elinchrom Updater is required. Available from the Elinchrom website.

  • Not supported by Nikon®.
  • Not supported by Sony® and Olympus®/Panasonic®.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Pressing and holding the left and right Speed buttons for approximately 2 seconds will reset the Transmitter
  • Pro manufacture settings. All user settings, except the display contrast, will be reset.

HAVING THIS PROBLEM?

|

PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING POINTS:

---|---
THE UNIT IS NOT SWITCHING ON| •        Check battery polarity and replace both discharged batteries.
FLASH UNIT CAN BE TRIGGERED WHEN THE MODE “ALL” IS SELECTED| • Transmitter and receiver must have the same frequency channel settings.

•        ELSP MODE: transmitter and receiver must have the same synchronisation mode settings: normal or speed sync mode.

•        Check that the Skyport receiver in all EL units with built-in receivers is switched on.

•        Check that the transmitter version corresponds to your camera brand.

SOME UNITS ARE NOT TRIGGERING WHEN THE GROUP MODE IS SELECTED| •        Check the Group settings of the EL-flash unit.

•        Reduce the distance to any unresponsive unit.

•        Transmitter and receiver must have the same synchronisation mode settings: normal or speed sync mode, and frequency channel settings.

THETESTBUTTONWORKS, BUT THE CAMERA WILL NOT TRIGGER FLASH UNITS| • Check the hot shoe fitting.

•        Check the camera settings (turn hotshoe communication on).

•        Check that the transmitter version corresponds to your Canon or Nikon camera.

•        Check the list of compatible cameras.

SOME INFORMATION IS NOT DISPLAYED ABOUT DIGITAL RX, RANGER RX OR STYLE RX UNITS| •        Units equipped with a plug-in Transceiver RX are limited in remote features. These units can however be triggered and controlled (but with no visual feedback) by the Transmitter Pro.

•        Update the firmware of the Transmitter Pro.

LIMITED DISTANCE RANGE:| •        Reposition the units.

•        Increase the distance from walls and ceilings.

•        ELSP Mode: In speed sync mode the distance range is reduced by approximately 50 %, so switch back to normal sync mode.

•        Outdoors, the distance range could be reduced due to humidity, interference, obstacles etc.

---|---
INTERFERENCE WITH OTHER 2.4 GHZ NETWORKS, UNRELIABLE TRIGGERING:| •        Try another frequency channel for both the transmitter and the receiver of the EL unit.

•        Reduce the distance between the flash unit and Transmitter Pro.

AUTOMATIC HI-SYNC / HSS MODE; SYNC UP TO 1/8000S:| •        Elinchrom Action (previously A) heads are not optimised for the Hi-Sync/HSS. To benefit from better performance please use flash units with Hi-Sync or flash tube heads.

•        ODS fine-tuning helps to optimise Hi-Sync performance.

•        If there is visible banding please reduce the shutter speed on your camera, or set ODS and adjust to minimise or avoid banding.

•        Hi Sync / HSS functionality only works with compatible cameras and the appropriate Transmitter Pro and when the camera is set to shutter speeds above 1/250s.

SCANNING EL-UNITS: NO EL-UNIT FOUND, OR SOME UNITS ARE MISSING.| • Switch on all enabled EL units, then switch on the EL-Skyport Transmitter Pro or go to setup and rescan.

•        Frequency, group and ELSP mode settings must match with the Transmitter Pro.

•        Ensure that all Skyport-enabled units are operating on the latest firmware.

FREQUENCY CHANNEL FOR EL-SKYPORT SPEED RECEIVERS
This is not relevant to this product, but it may help with frequency set-up on legacy EL-Skyport units.
