User Manual

HOT SHOE NOTE: Some cameras may exhibit undesirable behavior if the RECEIVE
unit is mounted in the camera hot shoe when that camera is being fired remotely. Some
cameras’ hot shoe and motor drive contacts may share some connections. This can
cause the camera to lock up or stop operating normally. If your camera does not
function properly in this mode then remove the unit from the camera’s hot shoe.
Maximum and Minimum Settings
The following table details the maximum and minimum values allowed for each numeric
entry setting available in the MultiMAX II.
Setting Maximum Minimum
Contact Time 999.99 seconds or
16 minutes, 39.99 seconds .01 seconds
Delay Time 9.9999 seconds .0001 seconds (add 0.0005 to displayed value for
RECEIVE units triggered via radio)
Interval (Intervalometer mode) 99:59:59 (1 second shy of 4 days, 4 hours or exactly
359,999 seconds) 1 second
Interval (Multipop mode) 999.99 seconds .01 seconds
(16 minutes, 39.99 seconds)
Count (for Load Count or Intervalometer / Multipop) 9999 0
Intervals are probably accurate to within +/- ~2.6 seconds per day based on the
precision of the internal crystal operating at 30 parts per million.
The maximum run time for Multipop, with count set to 9999, is over 115 days.
The maximum run time for Intervalometer, with count set to 9999, is just over 114 years.
You may need to use an AC adapter for this operation as batteries are unlikely to last
114 years.
