Mounting Procedures
Baby Offset Arm
Mounted on a baby
stand.
MTP-B41F
Kino Offset w/
Baby Receiver (16mm)
The Baby Offset Arm (MTP-B41F) allows xtures to mount on the center of a stand or
it can also be under slung from a baby stand to use as an up light.
A 180 degree turn loosens the orientation of the mount.
A right turn tightens the mount.
The tension on the lock lever may be adjusted by pull-
ing the handle away from the mount. This disengages
the handle from the screw mechanism and allows the
lever to be reoriented.
You can also use a screwdriver to adjust the tension.
Pull back on handle and adjust screw.
Mounted to pipe grid. Note: When hanging in a
studio, loop a safety cord
through the metal ring
provided on the back of
the xture.

Mounting Flozier
Remove Louver.
Rotate all Velcro tabs
to the inside of frame.
Apply double sided
transfer tape to one
side of the gel frame.
Expand the Barndoors to smooth out the face of the Flozier
and eliminate wrinkles.
Stretch two elastic
cords around xture.
Lay the taped side down
on the gel and press
rmly for adhesive to
adhere.
Take up slack on both
elastic cords.
Trim the excess gel
from the frame. Rotate
Velcro tabs back into
position.
VERTICAL MODE:
Follow the principle of lamp base up
and lamp tip down. This orientation
keeps the mercury away from the
cathodes and provides best color
temperature stability and best color
rendering.
DO NOT operate xture with lamp
base in the down position. Color can
diverge up to 400K and will get very
green.
HORIZONTAL MODE:
Even in the horizontal position, a slight rotation favoring the
lamp tips (lamp base higher than the lamp tip) will allow for
better color temperature stability.
Applying Gel to Gel Frame

Ballast Power
Troubleshooting
Diva 401 & 400U Lamp Select Switch
LAMPS FAIL TO LIGHT:
• Check ambient temperature. The unit may have trouble starting if operating in
temperatures above 125°F (51°C) or below 60°F (15°C).
• With the power switch in the ON position, the red light should be on. If it is not,
voltage is not present. Check your power feed.
• The onboard dimmer should be full up (turned completely clockwise).
• Check lamp contact. Lamps must be properly seated. If one lamp is not making
contact or is burned out, two lamps will be off.
• Replace lamp or lamps.
• After having checked that lamps are correctly seated, turn off power to the xture
for 60 seconds and restart.
• Check that the lamp selector switch is in the appropriate setting.
Cold Temperature Operation
In temperatures below 60°F (15°C), the ballast may take longer to strike. If lamps do
not strike within 5 seconds, switch the ballast to OFF and try again. Check that the
lamps are properly seated, set dimmer to Full and restrike. If temperatures are too low,
try to warm up the xture to at least 60°F. Lamps will turn on at preset dimmer settings
as long as the temperature is above 60°F (15°C).
Warning! To Ensure Proper Operation
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE FIXTURE BEFORE
connecting or disconnecting lamps. After the lamps
are properly installed, the in-line switch can turn on
the ballast. Avoid operating in temperatures above
125°F (51°C) or below 60°F (15°C).
The Diva-Lite 401 and Diva-Lite 400 Universal Lamp Select
Switch allows for 4 Lamp or 2 Lamp operation.
Turning off 2 lamps equals a one f-stop reduction in light output
without color shift. In the 4 Lamp position all lamps are on.
In the 2 Lamp position only the two center lamps are on.
Note: This feature is not available for the Diva-Lite 201.

11
Dimming Control
Remote Dimmer Operation
Dimming and Color Temperature Shift
Dimming can be used to adjust the light output of the xture. The color temperature
will shift marginally if kept to within one f-stop. Dimming beyond one f-stop may result
in a reduction of color temperature as well as a noticeable shift to magenta.
The Diva-Lite Remote Dimmer (DIM-5) is designed to remotely dim the Diva-Lite xture
models which have the REMOTE DIM feature. A 15ft dimming cable is supplied with
the Dimmer.
MANUAL DIMMING CONTROL
The Dimmer should be full up when striking the lamps.
Once the lamps have come up to full temperature, in about
3-5 minutes, then dim to the desired light level.
For full light output, turn dimmer fully clockwise.
An input jack for an optional Remote Dimmer (DIM-5) is
located on the ballast.
Insert the dimmer cable into the receptacle
marked REMOTE DIM.
Inserting the dimmer cable will automatically
disable the onboard dimmer.
Insert the other end of the dimmer cable into
the Diva-Lite Remote Dimmer (DIM-5).
