I have been very happy with the CC and CST units. However, one issue that still plagues me is the slave for all of the units I have on CSBs fire whenever another photographer is shooting. I have the slave set to off for all units in the CC, but yet they continue. Do I also have to insert a dummy plug to stop this, or am I doing something wrong? |

Cyber Commander can only disable slaves on Einstein and future lights. This capability is not in the AB interface. To disable AB/WL slaves, insert a blank sync cord or a "dummy" 1/8" plug. |

I've got dummy plugs chained to all my AB and WL units:

I've got dummy plugs chained to all my AB and WL units: I think this is exactly what I am going to have to do. Thanks for the idea and the image. |

is this an optical slave? If so couldn't it be permanently covered up with black tape or something |

I got some dummy plugs from PCB, unscrewed the plug portion, cut off the connections, and stick into the socket. "Permanent", but reversable...and nothing sticking out to catch on. John |

Using the lock out function of the sync jack is recommended. Using tape will certainly make the eye less sensitive, but it can still fire. The eye is a sensor placed behind the white window. If the light comes in from a vent or other opening, it can still be seen, and therefore fire. |
