Fixture Assembly
The Harness wiring is color-coded. The same color-code must match at each end of
the lamp for proper operation.
To Release the Lamp Harness
Remove the harness from 2 clips located under the reector. Rotate the ¼ turn
fastener clockwise to release harness.
The lamps can operate independent of the xture
allowing them to be built into sets or custom soft boxes
or hand-held as a single tube for an eye-light.
WARNING: Always use safety-coated lamps to avoid
injury if lamp breaks.

The 4Bank, Double and Single
xtures are comprised of a
removable Louver, Reector and
Lamp Harness.
The Louver and Reector are
held in place with Velcro
fasteners. The Lamp Harness
is secured by means of a ¼ turn
fastener and two clips.

Inserting Lamps
Gelling the Fixture
Locking Lamp Connector:
Depress both tabs on lamp connector and apply to lamp pins.
Match the Harness color-codes at each end of the lamp.
Push lamps into the xture’s Lamp Holder Clips.
Restricting the airow around the lamps can cause the lamps to
operate hotter. This increased heat will raise the lamp’s color
temperature and green spike. Therefore, it is recommended to
clip gels to the doors of the xture.
Remove Louver. Do Not clip gels to louver.
Do Not block the xture ends in a manner that restricts airow.

Mounting the Fixture
The standard mount (MTP-KW41) comes with a
3/8” Lollipop that clamps into a grip head. The ball
and socket mount allows the xture to be oriented in
a broad range of angles.
Align the center pin of the mounting plate to the
center hole on the mating plate.
Rotate plate clockwise until the four shoulder rivets
drop into the receptacle. A locking pin will snap into
place when the plate is properly seated.
The yellow wire loops provide attachment points for
a safety chain.
To remove the plate, pull up on the locking pin and
reverse the mounting procedure.
Lollipops are interchangeable.

Turn the knob to loosen or tighten the mount.

Other Fixture Mounting Options
The grommet holes along
the edge of the xture are
designed to allow the xture
to be screwed onto set walls.
Ballast Operation
WARNING!
1) ALWAYS TURN OFF THE BALLAST BEFORE connecting or
disconnecting Lamps, Harnesses or Extension Cables.
2) Use only with Sine wave inverters. Do not operate on SCR dimmers.
3) If powering the ballasts through a Dimmer Pack, set the Dimmer to
Non-Dim mode.
The Ballast requires 100-240VAC 50/60 Hertz on an earth grounded circuit;
The electronic Ballast operates at a high frequency of 25kHz. It is
dead-quiet, instant-on and lightweight.
Cold Temperature Operation
The Ballast is designed to operate at temperatures from 14°F to 122°F
(-10°C to +50°C). In cold temperatures, the Ballast may not strike the
lamp(s) instantly. Switch the Ballast to OFF, wait seven seconds and
try again. If the Ballast does not strike after two or three attempts, turn off
the Ballast, check that the Extension and Harness connections are secure
and re-strike. Once operating for a few minutes, the lamps should re-strike
instantly.

Lamp Select Feature
The Ballasts have a 4ft/2ft switch. Set the selector switch to 4ft for 4ft lamps and 2ft
for 2ft lamps.
When operating 4ft lamps in high ambient temperature or where the units are rigged
into place with restricted airow, the 2ft setting can be used to lower the color tempera-
ture and remove any green spike. The light drops about a half an f-stop in exposure
when dropping from 4ft to 2ft.
It is not recommended to operate 2ft lamps in the 4ft setting. At the 4ft setting, the
color temperature of the 2ft lamps will rise dramatically and experience a high green
spike.
Extension Cable
To insert the cable, position the logo up to align the key ways
on the extension cable with the circular receptacle on the
ballast. Rotate the locking ring until it clicks into the lock
position.
Lamps can operate as far as 75 feet from the ballast.
(3 x 25ft extensions)
A Splitter can be used at the Ballast or on the end of an
Extension Cable to split a 4Bank run into either four Singles or
two Doubles. This allows for greater rigging exibility.

The Ballast operates remote from the xture. Connect the Extension cable to the
Ballast and the Lamp Harness. After the lamps are properly installed, the Ballast can
be turned on. Each switch controls one lamp. The color bands on the lamp harness
correspond to the switches as illustrated.
