Using an AC3 ZoneController
An AC3 ZoneController on your transmitting ControlTL
®
radio allows you to adjust the remote ash output power for
up to 3 zones independently, in either Manual or Automatic modes.
Set the Zone Switch on your remote FlexTT5
®
equipped with an AC9 to Zone A, B, or C as desired.
Manual Mode:
With an AC3 Zone Switch set to M (Manual), the AC3 Power Dial for that zone sets the absolute ash power output
as shown in the table for Basic Power Control. Your camera’s FEC/EC, ISO, and aperture controls will not affect the
ash output power levels for AC3 zones set to M.
Automatic Mode:
With an AC3 Zone Switch set to A (Automatic), Automatic PowerTracking using Center on ISO & Aperture with First
Shot is engaged. See the Automatic PowerTracking section for more information. The AC3 Power Dial for a zone sets
the ash power output level for that zone relative to the ControlTL center point. Your camera’s FEC control can be
used to adjust ash output power level for all zones set to A (Auto).
Off:
With an AC3 Zone Switch set to Ø (Off), ashes in that zone will not trigger.
