attachment. Of course, you can also just lay the power supply on the floor at the base of the
light stand as well, but it is recommended to use the carabiner to hang on the light stand for
optimum heat dispersion from the power supply into the air. Figure 4 shows the carabiner
attached to the top riser thumbscrew of the light stand.
Plug the AC to DC power supply into the AC
. Using the included American power
plug, insert the plug into a surge protector and then the wall socket. This protects the power
supply from over voltage and spike conditions on your AC line. The power supply can operate
on any voltage in the world from 100v to 240v 50/60hz. To adapt the American power plug to
another socket type in another country is a simple mechanical type adapter and no other
transformer or other type of adaptation is necessary. There is no on/off switch on the power
supply, only on the panel itself.
Turn on the panel
. Figure 5
shows the sides of the LED 1200 panel
and the various parts. The operating
parts of the LED 1200 include the
master on/off, 6 bank select switches
and the quick release DC 4 pin male
input for external DC power. Simply
make sure all the bank select switches
are in the “1” or on position, turn the
dimmer dial to full intensity and finally,
turn the master (largest) switch to the
“1” or on position. Once started, the
light comes on instantly (as long as the
dimmer is on full and the bank select
switches are all on as well). Since
there are both a dimmer and bank
select switches, dimming with your
LED 1200 is extremely versatile and
can be accomplished with a number of
combinations of the bank selects
and/or the dimmer.
Battery Adaptation
. Your LED 1200 cannot connect directly to a battery or other type of
DC power supply without the optional external CL-BT1200 LED 1200 battery interface. This
will allow just about any DC source from 10V to 28VDC to power the LED 1200. It can also
allow 2 VLock or 2 AB batteries to power the LED 1200. Warning: Do not attempt to adapt a
battery to the LED 1200 using anything other than the Cool Lights CL-BT1200 LED 1200
battery interface. Any other interface risks damaging your LED 1200 as well as invalidating the
warranty.
Fixture transport
. Fold up the barndoors and remove the MAM from the quick release by
opening the spring loaded lock and sliding the top MAM QR plate from the bottom plate. You
can store the panel, MAM, filter pack, power supply and stand adapter in the LED 1200
backpack or other secure case for transport.
