Installation: RadioPopper P1 Receiver
NOTE:
When first bending the supplied fiber optic tube, you will likely hear and feel a bit of a “cracking” inside the
optic. This is perfectly normal and is the result of the 48 fibers inside the optic moving against each other and breaking
free of the inside of the outer coating. The fibers are not actually cracking - they are quite durable and will not break or
crack when bending.
1) Remove rear cover and insert battery just as you did with the Transmitter. Replace the rear cover.
2) Insert the supplied optic tube into the opening on the side of the P1 Receiver. Care should be taken to do this gently.
The optic outer diameter and the inner diameter of the sleeve inside the P1 Receiver are the same size - this makes for
a very firm fit. It may be somewhat tricky to align the optic, but after repeated use the outer coating of the optic tube
will wear down slightly allowing for a more natural fit. This fit was intentional to insure the optic remains secure even
after repeated use.
Insert the optic into the sleeve by rotating it between your fingers as if tightening a screw. It will set into the sleeve
1/8 inch to 1/4 inch (a few millimeters). Insert the optic just far enough to secure it in place.
3) Select a mounting location along the side of the body of your slave flash. The optic may be routed directly, around
the back side, or downward wrapped under the body just forward of the hot-shoe. See the graphics in
Fig 2-2
,
Fig
2-3
, and
Fig 2-4
and place the white bead at the end of the optic tube as indicated for your model of slave flash.
NOTE:
You may trim the optic if needed with a pair of scissors or a razor blade. Cutting the optic may cause a slight
bevel or burr to form along the plastic optic coating - making insertion into the sleeve a challenge. You may need to
carefully trim away any incidental burr before you are able to cleanly insert the optic in the sleeve.
4) Insure this area is clean. Use the included alcohol swab to clean this area, as well as the under side of the P1
Receiver unit.
5) Attach the Velcro pieces together. Remove both backing sheets and affix the joined Velcro strips first to the under
side center of the P1 Receiver unit.
6) Hold the P1 Receiver with Velcro attached over the approximate mounting location on the intended Slave flash unit.
Compare location to the pictures in Fig 2.1. Press down firmly and hold pressure for thirty seconds to tightly bond the
Velcro strip adhesive to both the Slave flash unit and the under side of the P1 Receiver.
7) Allow the adhesive on the Velcro pads to set for 20 to 30 hours before placing significant strain on them, just as you
did with the Transmitter mounting.
11. Install the supplied antenna (the one with the 90 degree bend) by screwing it onto the antenna connector on the
face of the P1 Receiver.
