Inserting Lamps Insert lamps into both lamp holders. Twist ¼ turn to make electrical contact. Inserting Gel Frame The gel frame is secured to the fixture by 4 spring-loaded pins. Align the pins of the gel frame with the oval receptacle holes on the edge of the fixture. Pull back the pins and release into the receptacles to properly secure the gel frame. Applying Gel to Frame Option 1 – The Gel Frame comes with gel clips. Cut the gel to size and use the clips to fasten the gel to the frame.
Mounting the Fixture The Flathead 80 is designed to operate on a Junior stand, hang from a Junior pipe hanger or mount directly to a set wall. Mount Plate Operation Align the center pin of the Mounting Plate (MTP-K81) 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. To remove the plate, pull up on the locking pin and reverse the mounting procedure.
Mounting to a Set Wall The Flathead 80 has screw points within the fixture to allow it to be fastened flat against a surface. Cardholders (MTP-IB) (x4) The Flathead 80 is equipped with unique cardholder corner brackets that allow foam core panels to be clipped in place. 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 ballasts. Rotate the locking ring until it clicks into the lock position.
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 deadquiet, instant-on and lightweight. The Ballasts operate remote from the fixture.
4Bank DMX Control Panel A B C D E F G A) Circular Output Connector: Provides electrical power to the lamp head with the use of a 4Bank extension cable. B) DMX-In & DMX-Out: DMX-In receives DMX signals from Dimmer Board. DMX-Out relays DMX signals through other Fixtures or Instruments. Note: Each BAL-457 ballast has an “AUTO TERMINATE” feature. The last ballast that does not have an XLR cable attached to the DMX “Out” port will automatically terminate. C) DMX Address: Sets DMX Address of Fixture.
Manual Operation Lamp Switching The Flathead 80 operates remotely on two 4Bank or 4Bank DMX Ballasts. Each ballast includes four lamp switches for individual lamp control. The multi-pin connectors on the side of the Flathead 80 fixture are numbered 1 and 2. Ballast 1 operates the four inner lamps; Ballast 2 operates the four outside lamps as illustrated below. Lamp Select Feature The 4Bank and 4Bank DMX Ballasts have a 4ft/2ft switch. Set the selector switch to 4ft for 4ft lamps.
DMX Operation DMX Addressing Push the tabs above or below the number window to set the address. (Valid addresses range from 001 to 512.) The yellow light above the address block will illuminate if a DMX signal is present. Each 4Bank DMX ballast operates on 5 addresses. This is useful in achieving light effects like flickering, chasing or creating light patterns. BAL-457 operates on 5 addresses: Lamps = 1-4 4ft/2ft = 5 The 5th address controls the 4ft/2ft setting.
For example: If the 4Bank DMX base address is set at 001 for Ballast 1, and Ballast 2 is set at 006, the configuration below will provide 8 lamps individually addressable through DMX 512. DMX Lamp Sequence DMX Lamp Sequence DMX Address = 001, 006 Lamp # DMX Address Lamp 1.1 1 Lamp 1.2 2 Lamp 1.3 3 Lamp 1.4 4 4ft/2ft 5 Lamp 2.1 6 Lamp 2.2 7 Lamp 2.3 8 Lamp 2.
Auto Terminate Feature 4Bank DMX ballasts (457 Series) have an “AUTO TERMINATE” feature. The last ballast that does not have an XLR cable attached to the DMX “Out” port will automatically terminate. Any theatrical lighting board with DMX 512 protocol can be used to individually turn on/off lamps in a fixture. 4Bank DMX ballasts can be jumpered using the IN and OUT ports. As many as 100 ballasts can be jumpered on one chain as long as the DMX cable run remains under 1000 feet or 40 x 25ft DMX cables.
