BRONCOLOR RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEM 2.2
Before use
We are very pleased you have chosen one of our RFS 2.2 transceiver units. If
used properly, it will render you many years of good service. Please read the
information contained in these operating instructions carefully. They contain
important details on the use, safety and maintenance of the device. Keep
these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to further users
if necessary
With the radio system broncolor RFS 2.2 you can trigger and operate by re-
mote control broncolor units, which are equipped with an integrated RFS 2
interface.
RFS 2.2
is available in four versions, for Canon, Nikon, Sony and
Fuji and
always optimized for its operation. The use with other camera
systems is not recommended.
With the additional HS function, HS-compatible broncolor flash units, in com-
bination with a suitable camera, can be set to use the shortest possible shut-
ter speeds (down to 1/8000s).
The transceiver can be operated in either of two modes. As supplied, the
transceiver operates as a transmitter.

1. RFS 2.2 TRANSCEIVER AS TRANSMITTER
The
RFS
2.2 transceiver operates as a remote control or radio flash trigger for
one or more broncolor power packs or monolights equipped with an RFS2
interface. Power packs or monolights not equipped with an
RFS
2 interface
can be operated by connecting an RFS 2.2 Transceiver (as receiver)– see
Chapter 10.
All devices, whether with a built-in RFS 2 or an external RFS 2.2 receiver are
compatible. If several RFS 2 units are to communicate with each other, they
must be set to the same studio address. RFS 2 units with the same studio ad-
dress can be remote-controlled simultaneously. By using different studio ad-
dresses, several groups of devices can be reliably operated independently of
each other. Flash synchronisation takes place either via the hot shoe, or using
the camera’s sync contact. The operating distance is up to 50m in the open
air, or up to 30m in a building. The transmitter is fitted with two AA batteries.
Attention! Although this radio system allows up to 99 studio addresses,
the number of channels that is effectively available is restricted by the
RFS2 flash unit to be controlled.
For further instructions, please see the operating instructions for the flash
unit concerned.
