Originally posted by Jodokast96 I tested it at all the ranges and it never went above 10v so I should be safe then right? The numbers I'm getting do seem consistent with what I saw listed on that site for my exact model.
Just to let you know, I checked my Sunpak autozoom 3000 with an analog meter, which had a resistance of 20,000 ohms per volt (of full scale voltage)
On 15 volt scale (300,000 ohms) , I measured 14 volts
on 60 volt scale (1,200,000 ohms) I measured 48 volts
on 300 volt scale (6,000,000 ohms) I measured 140 volts
using a digital meter I measure 198 volts!!!!!!!! (edit note)
When I touch the flash rerminals with my finger IT HURTS, therefore the voltage is real.
With the off camera attachment, trigger voltage 30 volts (still too high) (Edit note)
all I can say is Be careful. I have the schematics for my flash, and for the remote sensing head/cable for off camera flash, I will look to see what they have done on this unit to protect the remote sensing electronics.
one final word, my Af500FTZ has a trigger voltage of 3.8 volts (edit note)
a second last word, my AF540FGZ has a trigger voltage of 2.5V (edit note)
