Quantum Instruments FW7Q Manuel D’Utilisation

Instructions    

 

FreeXwire model FW7Q is a dedicated receiver for Qflash models T4d, X4d, T5d, and X5d.  It is 

compatible with FreeXwire Transmitter FW9T and Transceiver FW10 and provides remote 

operation and digital wireless TTL for Qflash series 4d/5d 
 

1.  Mounting FreeXwire FW7Q 

 

Turn off Qflash power before mounting the FW7Q. 

FW7Q plugs into the lower Accessory socket of Qflash, as shown in the diagram. 

 
[diagram 1] 

 

  

For added stability a hook-and- loop pad is mounted on the back of Receiver FW7Q.  One 

part of this pad will be attached to the Qflash housing as follows: 

 
Note where the hook and loop pad will come into contact with the Qflash housing when 

FW7Q is plugged into the lower Accessory socket.  Clean the area of any dirt or grease.  

Remove the adhesive liner from the pad (without touching the adhesive), and align and 

mount FW7Q.  Then press the FW7Q housing firmly against Qflash so that the hook and loop 

pad adheres to the Qflash housing.   
 

You can now remove and re-mount FW7Q when you need to use it.  Additional hook and 

loop pads are included with FW7Q.  They can be used to place additional pads on other 

Qflash units, or as a replacement. 

 

 
 

2.  Powering FW7Q 

 

Qflash series 4d/5d powers the FreeXwire FW7Q.   When Qflash is powered, the green LED 

indicator on the FW7Q should blink once per second. 

 
 

 

3.  Setting the Channel Code 

 

The Channel Codes allow FreeXwire’s to work together.  Set the same Channel Code as your 

transmitter unit FW8 or FW10 (FW10 should be set as TX).  

 

Rotate the dial to the desired Code, 0 through 7.  To rotate, press the pad of your thumb on 

the dial and turn.  Or, use a small screwdriver.   Channels can be matched by number or by 

the position of the cutout in the Channel dial.
