Frequently Asked Questions - T-16 BRESSER

How do I set the channel on the T-16 receiver?

Use the DIP switches on the receiver (Fig. 3, 12) and set them to the same position as the transmitter (Fig. 2, 7). Refer to the channel table in the manual for exact positions.

What power source does the receiver require?

The receiver is mains powered via a C13 power socket (AC 110–220 V). Connect the flash unit's power cable to the receiver's C13 socket.

Why is my flash not firing when I press the test button?

First, check that the receiver and transmitter are on the same channel. Ensure the receiver is properly connected to the flash unit via the sync cable and power cable. Also verify the flash unit is turned on.

Can I use the T-16 with any camera?

The transmitter is designed to fit standard hot shoes. For cameras with older or non-standard hot shoes, use the included X-sync cable to connect directly.

How do I connect the receiver to my flash unit?

Insert the 3.5 mm jack plug (with adapter if needed) into the flash's sync port. Then connect the C14 IEC connector from the flash's power cord into the receiver's C13 power socket. Finally, plug the receiver into mains.

What does the function light on the receiver indicate?

The function light (Fig. 3, 13) lights up when the receiver is powered on and ready to receive signals from the transmitter.

Is the receiver suitable for outdoor use?

No, the device is intended for indoor use only. Avoid exposure to moisture, rain, or extreme temperatures.

How do I clean the receiver?

Disconnect the receiver from mains and remove any connected cables. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use cleaning fluids or water.

What should I do if the remote trigger stops working?

Check the transmitter battery (replace if low), verify channel settings, and ensure all connections are secure. If the problem persists, contact Bresser service for repair.

Can I control multiple flash units with one transmitter?

Yes, you can use multiple receivers set to the same channel as the transmitter. Each receiver will trigger its connected flash unit simultaneously.

Commissioning/switching on

Channel settings using DIP switches

! NOTE!

In order to enable synchronous flashing of several flash units, all affected receivers and transmitters must be set to the same channel using DIP switches.

Make channel settings according to the table below.

Channel Receiver Trigger/Transmitter
1
	1 2	1 2
2
	1 2	1 2
3
	1 2	1 2
4
	1 2	1 2

Commissioning of the remote trigger set

1. At the transmitter (Fig. 1, A) and on the receiver(s) (Fig. 1, B) set the same channel.
2. Turn on the camera*. The function light (transmission / Fig. 2, 2) lights up. Make the following camera settings: Recording mode 'M' (manual), shutter speed 1/125 sec.
3. Switch on the flash unit with the receiver installed. The function light (receipt / Fig. 3, 13) lights up.
4. Flash test button (Fig. 2, 1) to trigger a test flash. If a flash is triggered, the connection is established and a flash can also be triggered using the camera's* shutter release button.

Using the X-sync cable

! NOTE!

Hot shoes on older cameras are often equipped with a center contact, which may not be compatible with the T-16 transmitter. In this case, the X-sync cable can be used to synchronize the flash unit directly.

1. Put the X-sync connector (Fig. 4, S) of the X-sync cable (Fig. 1, D) into the X-sync socket (Fig. 4, X) of the camera.
2. Put the jack plug (Fig. 4, 9) of the X-sync cable – if necessary with attached adapter (Fig. 4, 10) – into the connection socket (sync port) on the flash unit*.
