Lencarta UltraPro Commander User manual

Many thanks for purchasing our UltraPro Commander, the remote controller designed for use with the
Lencarta UltraPro 300 and UltraPro 600 flash heads.
Batteries
pen the battery holder and insert 2 x AAA
alkaline batteries.
Powering up
When you switch on the unit it will carry out a
self diagnosis check, which takes approximately
6 seconds, and will then enter the operation
mode automatically. Alternatively, pressing the
K button will enter the unit into the operation
mode immediately.
The unit should be switched off when not required, it does not switch off automatically.
The Commander is a fully featured remote
control. It can control all functions of our
UltraPro flash heads, and can also control up to
10 flash heads in up to 10 separate groups, at a
distance of up to 100 metres.

Flash head and group identity
ID:1 (on the display above) shows that you have assigned the flash head to identity 1 and that you have
assigned that flash head into group 2. You can set separate identities to up to 10 flash heads in each
group this allows you to control up to 100 flash heads each with individual settings.
As an example of how this might be used you might have two lights at the front a key light and a fill
light. You could assign ID0 to the key light and ID1 to the fill light and perhaps have a hair light on ID2
with the group identity set to 0.
Now with the group identity set to 0 heads 0 1 and 2 can all be adjusted individually.
You may also have two flash heads lighting the background evenly it would make sense to assign both
of these lights to their own group say group 1 and to give each of these lights the same identity. Then
if you need to adjust the background lights all you need to do is to change to group 1 and make the
necessary adjustment which will adjust both lights at the same time.
Assigning identities and groups
With the flash heads switched on and set to the group and flash head identities you wish to use press
either the left or right arrow keys to underline the group (channel) use the up or down keys to change
the channel and then press OK.
Now use the left or right arrow keys to underline the ID and use the up or down keys to change the
channel.
Now move the underline to the flash symbol and press OK to check that the flash heads with the same
group and head identities flash.

1. Test button
1. Check that both the flash head and the remote are displaying the same head and group
identities
2. On the flash head itself underline ‘Test’
3. Do the same on the remote
4. Press the ‘Down’ button on both the flash head and the remote
5. Press the ‘OK’ button on the remote. Both the remote and the flash head should now show be
calibrated and talking to each other
6. Press the ‘Up’ button on both the flash head and the remote to return to the normal screen.
Adjusting flash power, slave sensor or flash ready beep
Move the cursor using the left/right arrow keys to underline the required function then use the up or
down arrow buttons to make the required change then press OK. The slave sensor is switched on when
the ‘Mode’ symbol is displaying a dot in the centre.
Adjusting the modelling lamp

arrow keys to scroll between the various functions then press OK.
Memory
The Commander unit has a built in memory which is updated by making changes.
After powering up when you select the group and flash head ID the flash head will automatically
set itself to the last adjustments made to that flash head and the Commander unit will display
those settings.

Using the built in radio trigger
So far, you've set the various controls for the flash head, you now need to synch the
Commander so that it will fire the flash when the Commander unit is fitted to the hot shoe of
your camera. Move the cursor to the flash symbol and then press the "Down" button.
