PLDIR-2 Remote digital display and Infrared receiver.
(Must be used with PLIRC controller)
The PLDIR-2 is a digital display to enhance visibility and to receive infrared signals to
control the functions of the PowerLights. It displays Flash power, Modeling lamp power
and unit number. It has a green READY indicator and a BI-color indicator for Flash or
Model. Behind a small window is an infrared receiver. Resolution is 0.1 f-stop.
The PLDIR-2 may be mounted to the umbrella bracket under the housing of the
PowerLight, on rotating mount, or on an extension cable, for better viewing and infrared
control.
PLIRC-1 Infrared remote controller.
(Must be used with PLDIR-1 receivers)
Similar to TV, VCR, DTV universal remote controllers, the PLIRC-1 can control up to
nine (9) PowerLights with individual settings. If several PowerLights are used with
identical settings the same unit number can be assigned to them. This will expand the
total number of lights that can be controlled with the PLIRC-1. All panel button controls
are available, plus STANDBY.
All PowerLights must have PLDIR-1 infrared receivers and have their unique unit
numbers assigned. PowerLights may have identical unit number numbers, if they are to
be operated exactly the same, under all studio arrangements.
Select a Unit Number on one of the top ten buttons, then control the PowerLight with the
lower buttons, observing the PowerLight digital display for the changes.
The All button, under Unit Number, transmits the changes to all active PowerLights. This
enables the photographer to raise or lower flash or model levels on all the units, without
the laborious task of changing them all, individually.
Standby lets the photographer put all the PowerLights into a standby state to stop public
photographers from slaving the units at a wedding, or some studio units can be put in
standby when not required for a shot. The infrared control can easily reach to units on
12-foot stands (it has been tested to 100 feet, indoors.)
