6 Handling Power Supplies
For AC ballasts:
When power supply is switched Poff, connect the ballast and the light head with 5-pin XLR connector J. Then
connect the input cable Oof the ballast to the AC mains.
Switch Pon the ballast. The signal LED J„ON“ should light up in green. (If the LED is flashing or no light ap-
pears, that indicates damage.)
For Battery ballasts:
When power supply is switched Poff, connect the ballast and the light head with the cable Kwith the 5-pin
XLR connector H. Then connect the input cable Qto the ballast Sand to the battery or a car cigarette lighter
output. The signal LED J„ON“ should light up in green. This indicates the battery is connected and charged.
Switch Pon the ballast. The signal LED „ON“ should turn off.
NOTE that in Battery ballasts, this LED‘ s function is inverted. The LED does not light while the light head is
operating. When the battery is exhausted, the ballast switches off automatically and the green LED starts blinking
in short intervals.
DT4 has a rotary knob to adjust intensity (dimming) I.
DT4-BI, bi-color power supply, has 2 rotary knobs. One for dimming I, another one for adjusting the color tem-
perature Mfrom 2700K to 6500K.
For devices with display:
When operating dimming knob Iin manual mode, display shows ‚d‘ from d00 to d99 (d00 to dff in some ver-
sions).
When operating knob for color temperature Mregulation, display shows equivalent color temperature, starting
with 27 (for 2700K) all the way to 65 (for 6500K).
For devices with DMX function:
To set DMX address push the buttons Vat the left ( ) and right ( ) sides of the display Usimultaneously,
release, then select address ‚up‘ with the right and ‚down‘ with the left button. Auto store after 10 sec. A dot in
display indicates a correct DMX signal. For manual control set the address below channel 1. Use the rotary knobs
to adjust color or dimming levels.
Thermal protection/missing lamp head:
On the ballast there is a signal LED J„heat“. In case of overheating of the light head, the ballast automatically
switches off and the LED „heat“ lights up in red. After cooling down, the ballast recovers and continues its normal
operation. The „heat“ LED lights up in red also in case of damage in the output cable or missing lamp head. After
recovering the connection, the ballast continues its normal operation.
Mismatch conditions:
Should a mistake arise, where the DLED4 mono-color light head D or T is connected with DT4-BI, bi-color power
supply, both buttons influence brightness.
If you connect the DLED bi-color light head with the mono-color DT4 power supply, only one of the two color tem-
peratures will be active and cannot be changed, but can be dimmed.
No damage will occur to light head or power supply.
