Is this 283 one of the newer, low trigger voltage ones, or the original high-voltage model?

Definitely a high voltage. I got my original one that was just like this one back in 02, and it wasn't new then...lol. It's a good flash, but you can't order new parts for it anymore, so once it's done, it's done, and you have to order a new one, or do what I did when this replacement broke, and get a different model altogether.

I don't know. I purchased this one as it matched to existing one that needed replacing. It was the correct voltage and model.

Yes, thats my model #, its 7500 surge & 6000 continuous.I used it for real the first time the other day, we lost power. Worked a dream.. really happy with it, one pull and it was running.

Mine was an older version. It uses 56 and it finally died about a month ago after 10 years. The mechanism that connected to the back failed so it doesn't get power. If I can replace that mechanism it will probably still work great but I have not had time to look into it yet.

Because technically they are both the same alarm just the 350 Plus was the old packaging and old model number. But what I got was the 3105v model just like the description says. Hope this helps.

my apologies, the voltage selector appears on waht is referrd to as the "general model" only. I apologize for the confusion.

Looks like the same one I bought. I used a 12 volt DC 1 amp output converter. Think I got it from Radio Shack. It was plenty loud with even a smaller amperage converter I had, but I thought it might overdrive it so I got the 1amp just in case.

Would not know, the newest one works great and the one that I have had for twenty some odds years is still working good. Love them both.

The one I had was 120 volt and it only lasted about 3 months and quit working.

Yes, it's an earlier version of the current 414 with only 1.3 amp hours. (won't last as long)

Previous answer is correct: one CR2032 & 3 AG13 in mine as well. Current Amazon description claims a CR3032 so maybe the manufacturer changed it...??

I recommend do not buy this model. CM has discontinues this version. A new Trigger will be released shortly...that's what they've told me. My Storm Trigger failed within a few months of purchase. Sent it to CM. They stated that I would get a new Trigger as soon as it is released.

I believe it's just an older model number. I haven't found anything with any difference between the two of them.

Yes, the version with the "C" in the model number has the trigger and is the Casting model.Tight Lines.Darrin

it has been used on motorbikes for sure. It just needs to be in amp mode. If you're doing parasitic load, then you're focused on DC Amps. The 117 has up to 6, while the 88 has up to 10. I don't see a big issue as you're just doing parasitic, not actual use. If anything actually pulls more than 6, you'll blow the internal fuse and have to replace it, but that's about it. Shouldn't be a problem(I've just tested mine on my car and it works).

The trigger voltage is what will make it safe or not. If it is a newer flash designed to work on digital cameras it would be fine. If it is a much older flash used for film cameras, also very old that it doesn't have TTL, it probably won't be safe to use. If you list what specific flash it would be easier to give a yes or no. For instance the Vivitar 285 can have a trigger voltage around 6v, that will fry most all digital cameras, if you're talking about a newer Vivitar 283, then yes this would work fine. You wouldn't have TTL but you would be able to use the flash in manual mode.

I have been using 312 batteries for almost four years and they were all 1.45v. I'm sure in the description it was just and omission of a 5.
