last time I tested a flash I opened the back of the camera, without film in the camera I aimed the flash toward the lens, and if it fired when the shutter was open I knew it worked. If I did more than that I don't remember, its been a long time.

It takes 4 C NiCad batteries. You will need a PC cord and, unless you hand-hold the flash, the camera bracket. The trigger voltage is 4-193, be careful!
Here's the PDF manual:

Edit: The trigger voltage with C batteries should be safe. I think the higher voltage is with the AC adapter or 510 V Powerpack.

The pin readout on the control head is camera specific. What camera does it fit?

I will read it later today and let you know. I tested it before and thought I did it without the camera. I would need to test it on a Nikon F100.
