Applying Gel Filters
IMPORTANT: Prior to using the filter frame, remove translucent protective plastic
coating from both sides. Use the steel gel template to cut a filter to the correct size.
The filter is then taped to the transparent filter frame.
Ballast Operation
Warning! To Ensure Proper Operation
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE BALLAST BEFORE connecting or disconnecting lamps,
harnesses or head extension cables. Maximum distance is 30ft (2 x 15ft cables).
Ballast Operation
The Kamio Ballast (BAL-149X) operates remote from the fixture. Connect the Kamio
lamp harness to the extension cable or the Ballast, making sure to rotate the locking
ring until it clicks into the locked position. After the lamps are properly installed, the
Ballast can be turned on. Avoid operating in temperatures above 125°F (51°C).
(Note: The dimmer should be full up when striking the lamp. Once the lamp has
come up to full temperature, in 3-5 minutes, then dim to the desired light level.)
It is normal for the lamp to take 1-2 seconds to ignite. In cold temperatures the Ballast
may take longer to ignite the lamp. If it does not ignite within 5 seconds, switch the
ballast to OFF and try again. If the lamp does not strike after 2 or 3 attempts, turn
Ballast off, check that the harness or any extension connections are secure and
restrike.
CAUTION: For AC operation use the PWS-156X universal power supply. Do not
operate Camera and Kamio with a Camera Battery Charger. The combined load
exceeds the Charger’s capacity and will result in the Charger failing.
