Suntax Flash Question

[koolz]

Hello everybody! i m new here . Juz bought a FZ20, UV filter, and Suntax flash from AP.
The Flash that i got is 9000 DT, i wanna ask if the trigger voltage of the flash is suitable for the fz20.Thanks

should be less than 3.8V...for all the DT model

But i thought that only applies to 328DTZ and 328TZ only? It didnt say 9000dt

I sent to them last week...they replied as follows :-

The trigger voltage for the flashed in your email is 3.5 to 3.8v.

Never mind

If the T in DT stands for Thyristor, then you are pretty safe on the trigger voltage. If not wrong, the thyristor works to regulate the voltage and current in the flash to check power surge.

T denoted in Suntax Flashes come with low trigger voltage,,,,if not wrong.

Reply from Suntax to me:

====================================
The current A version has high voltage of about 250.
The T and DT version has low trigger voltage of about 3.8.
====================================

Hope this will help to clear any further confusion.
