Quantum Instruments FW9T Manuel D’Utilisation
3.0
Remote Flash set-up
3.1 Transmitter FW9T:
Connect a sync-in cord from your camera PC nipple to FW9T Sync-In. Or use the optional
FW12 to connect FreeWire to your camera’s hot shoe.
(See Appendix A for other sync-in options.)
If you want to sync a “local” flash as well as a remote one, connect the flash manufacturer’s PC sync cord to the Sync-Out PC
nipple on Transmitter FW9T, and set the Local switch to “+”. To turn off the local flash, switch to “-“.
If Qflash is the “local” flash, connect FW31 from Qflash to FW9T DIN socket or FW12 DIN socket. Then, Qflash can power the
FW9T by setting the power switch to “off” (EXT). The battery will not be needed in the FW9T.
3.2 Receiver FW8R:
Connect the PC sync cord supplied by your flash’s manufacturer to the Sync-Out PC nipple or Phono socket on the FW8R . (See
Appendix B for other sync-out options.)

Appendix B for other sync-out options.)
In general, set the RANGE switch to NORM. This setting works to distances to about 400-500’ (125-150m). If you require
greater range, set RANGE to HI which may double the range. However, whenever using FreeXwire for wireless TTL, always use
NORM range.
3.3 Receiver FW7Q: This receiver is dedicated to Qflash 4d and 5d models. See instructions included with the FW7Q if you
wish to employ this receiver with your FreeXwire system.

Cord (see Appendix C) from the Receiver FW8R MD
connection to your camera motor drive.

4.3 MD Delay on FW8R:
Many cameras have two step shutter buttons: Pressing part way turns on the meter and auto focusing, and pressing all the way
releases the shutter. Some of these cameras require a delay between the meter/focus function and shutter release (for example,
Contax 645). Select MD Delay for those cameras by sliding MD DELAY switch to “+”. Without MD Delay, the camera focus,
releases the shutter. Some of these cameras require a delay between the meter/focus function and shutter release (for example,
Contax 645). Select MD Delay for those cameras by sliding MD DELAY switch to “+”. Without MD Delay, the camera focus,
