Looking for instruction manual for older Ikelite 50 strobe

[ElliottM]

I picked one of these up inexpensively and assumed I could find instructions somewhere on the internet - wrong. Either I am not searching effectively or they are hard to come by. Does anyone have a manual for this strobe they can sell me or, being cheap, send an electronic copy to me? I tried contactnig Ikelite through their website but they didn't respond.

What specifically do you need to know. This is a pretty basic strobe.

I saw a pin-out diagram and tried to get it to flash, but I couldn't get it to flash. Basically I am hoping to hook it up as a slave and see if I can make use of it.

This is the orange strobe correct? To make it work you will need the TTL controller which you can get from ebay typically since I don't think this strobe has a built-in slave sensor
It is called
[h=1]Ikelite Remote TTL Slave Sensor for Substrobe 50 Flash[/h]

yes sir, the orange one it is. is this the sensor you refer to, 4100.5 TTL Digital Slave Sensor?

 

[bvanant]

Yes (I believe it is although I don't have one).

Thanks, Bill. I am now on the lookout for the controller.
