Manual Operation
Lamp Select Feature
The Select 4Bank and Select/DMX 4Bank Ballasts have a 4ft/2ft switch.
Set the selector switch to 4ft for 4ft lamps.
When operating 4ft lamps in high ambient temperature or where the units are
rigged into place with restricted airflow, the 2ft setting can be used to lower the
color temperature and remove any green spike. The light drops about a ½ f-stop
in exposure when dropping from 4ft to 2ft setting.
Note: When using the DMX ballast, all manual controls are disabled as soon as the
DMX cable is applied.
For manual control with DMX cables plugged in:
1) Unplug the DMX cable or
2) Leave cables plugged in and set DMX address to “000”.
There is a 5 second delay when switching between DMX and Manual Control.
Lamp Switching
The Flathead 80 operates remotely on two Select 4Bank or
Select/DMX 4Bank 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.
