We purchased The Activator RX-9, and even when set at the minimum sensitivity, it goes off for no reason. Can anybody help? can't seem to contact mfr.

Based on my experience, the issue is related to how level is you Luma. If it is not level, then it will turn itself off. Try to make it as level as possible and test it again.

Same problem I have. Seems to be very sensitive. Maybe bugs/flies? I haven't figured it out.

Have you considered that it may be just broken ? It should light up right when you plug it in. Play with the sensitivity ... If still nothing them obviously it's broken.

This is a control on the front of the RX9 which allows the sensitivity to be adjusted. Taking the smaller part off allows you to plug in a lamp, etc which will come on when the alarm is triggered. Hope this helps.

Hi Julie, I have the quasar md pro and the light is only suppose to stay on 3 minutes and then beep and go off. You may have a defective one. I woul call the company next week and ask for a new one.

I'm guessing this was rhetorical, and that you already have the answer, but it seems that a universal problem. I'll simply leave you with this: I had the same problem. My only choice was to lower the level of intensity to make it through the day. Just pray yours doesn't do what mine did: automatic unpairing regardless of charge. Just another case of "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". There's a reason why better rated products cost 2-3x as much....

I have used mine several times and have not had issues. When you plug it in the screen should turn on and then you have to set the time and temperature but I haven't had any problems with that either. Perhaps it's a problem with the chord. I would contact the mfr right away.

I have three of these babies. One always goes on my camera hot shoe with cable attached so I can use another as a remote trigger. The third is attached to my flash. In this scenario both the remote trigger and the one on the hot shoe would be set to RX/TX and the one on the flash is set to RX. If I use two of them to trigger two flashes, both are set at RX (receive only) and the triggering one is on the hot shoe and set to transmit (RX/TX).It took me a little while to figure it out, but they work pretty good.

There are different settings to it, there is a switch on the back to change them. Now in the instructions there are actions you have to commit as well for the advanced settings...( turn it sidways and it does the firing blindly thing and says powering off, or if something hasn't crossed the sensor after a short time "are you still there?"). Make sure the sensor is clean as well....but make sure you leave it on for at least ten minutes because the ai is setting balance hit and continual motion ( ie fan would not set it off)... Hope this helps

I experienced this on my second for a few days then it went away.I made sure the machine was on solid wood floor (I inserted a flat square board below it to ensure the sensitivity adjustment ring is resting on firm ground. I also lifted the globe and repositioned it somehow that did it. Also check the sensitivity setting - move it to somewhat less sensitive setting.)I hope this helps.

I don't know exactly what the problem is, there may be an adjustment knob for sensitivity. I but bought two of these a year ago and found their performance very disappointing. I returned them for a full refund. They are just too light weight.

Have you tried adjusting the sensitivity? There is a little notch to set to low or high. If it is on low, it may be too low.

I had the same issue, I returned the light, even after getting it perfect it has obvious power management issues, it works for a couple of minutes then shut off, I advise you to return it and opt for the Probuilt T2600.....awesome, or for a bit more you will be thrilled with the X21R from LED LENSER...either one will blow your mind!!!

I had a similar problem. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. You must have your camera set in Timer mode for it to work. Point at the front of the camera where the sensor is. Kind of worthless to be honest.... Luckily it didn't cost much. Probably should have returned it. I bought one for myself & my son. Never of us use it... Timer on my camera works better.

Should be an adjustment screw on side to set sensitivity. Make small adjustments and it should work.

It took some digging, but I found it! The red laser light is the Auto Focus (AF) Illuminator. If you have the selector knob on the top in the iAUTO setting, it will automatically come on. It seems to assist the camera in focusing in low light settings. It can be VERY annoying, but I just read the manual (page 35, hyperlink below) and it is possible to turn it off (I tried it to make sure). Turn the knob to "P", then push the MENU button on the back, select the left column on the screen, then select the "AF Illuminat." and click the ok button. Then select "off". Keep in mind the light assisted the auto focus, so it may make images taken in dim environments less focused. I hope this helps! http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/SH-50_MANUAL_EN.pdf
