Inserting Lamps Insert lamps at a 45° angle and align pins with lamp holder. Gently lay lamp down into fixture. Caution! If there is any resistance, realign the angle of the lamp and try again. Press lamp securely into lamp clip. Applying Gel to Gel Frame Apply adhesive transfer tape to the gel frame. Lay the adhesive side on the gel and trim off excess gel with a matte knife.
Inserting Louvers & Gel Frames Rotate accessory locking tab counter clockwise to open accessory holder. Gel frame fits into lower accessory channel. The louver slides into the upper accessory channel. Rotate locking tab clockwise to lock accessories in place (both ends of fixture).
Mounting Align center pin of mounting plate (MTP-BL41) with mating receptacle on fixture. Align locking pin with the yellow arrow. Rotate mount plate in direction of the small arrow. The locking pin will snap into place. The safety wire loop provides an attachment point for a safety chain if fixture is hung from a grid. To remove the plate, pull up on the locking pin and reverse the mounting procedure. A 180° turn loosens the orientation of the mount. A right turn tightens the mount.
Lollipops are interchangeable. MTP-L Kino 41 Lollipop w/ 3/8” Pin (10mm) MTP-LB Kino 41 Lollipop w/ Baby Receiver (16mm) MTP-LBS Kino 41 Lollipop w/ Baby Receiver Short (16mm) Correct Lamp Orientation For stable color rendering, use lamps in either the base up position or the horizontal position. Do not operate fixture in a base down position. Base down position may result in increased Kelvin and increased green spike.
Ballast Power 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 be turned on. The BarFly fixtures require 100-240VAC 50/60 Hertz on an earth grounded circuit. The electronic Ballast operates at a high frequency of 47kHz. The BarFly is lightweight, flicker-free and dead-quiet. Cold Temperature Operation The BarFly is designed to operate at temperatures from 14F to 122F (-10C to +50C).
BarFly 450 DMX Control Panel A B C D E F G H A) DMX Address: Sets DMX address of fixture. B) DMX OK: Lights if valid DMX signal is present. C) DMX Channels: Sets the fixture to use 1 DMX channel to dim all 4 lamps or 4 DMX channels to control lamps individually. D) DMX-In & DMX-Out: DMX-In receives signals from Dimmer Board. DMX-Out relays DMX signals through other fixtures or instruments. Note: Each BarFly 450 fixture has an “AUTO TERMINATE” feature.
Manual Operation BarFly 450 Lamp Sequence 4 3 2 1 Lamp Switches The BarFly 450 has four Lamp Switches which allow for individual lamp operation. Each switch controls one lamp. Turning off 2 lamps equals a one f-stop reduction in light output without color shift. Manual Dimming Control The BarFly 450 DMX fixture features a built-in dimmer control. For full light output, turn dimmer fully clockwise. Note: The fixture is designed to start lamps at any dim setting.
Dimming and Color Temperature Shift Dimming can be used to adjust the light output of the fixture. 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. Remote Dimmer The Remote Dimmer accessory (DIM-5) is designed to remotely dim the BarFly. A 15ft dimming cable is supplied with the dimmer. Insert the dimmer cable into the receptacle marked REMOTE DIM.
DMX Operation DMX Addressing Prior to hanging any instruments, set the DMX address of each fixture. Push the tabs above or below the number window to set the address. (Valid addresses range from 001 to 512.) The light above the address block will illuminate if a DMX signal is present. Tip: Power is not required to set DMX addresses. Therefore, DMX addresses can be set for each fixture prior to hanging. IMPORTANT! The dimmer board/light console should have its channel set to LINEAR light output response.
Note: If a fixture loses its DMX signal, it will hold its last DMX command. For this reason, it is important to turn a fixture off using the DMX commands. For example, if you try to turn off the lights by turning off the dimmer board, the lights will remember their last DMX command and stay on. The fixtures require a DMX “Off” or “Black-Out” command in order to turn off. Auto Terminate Feature The BarFly 450 series have an “AUTO TERMINATE” feature.
