Inserting Lamps
Inserting Gel Frame
Inserting Louver
Applying Gel to Frame
Insert lamps into both lamp holders. Twist ¼ turn to make electrical contact.
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.
Note: It is recommended to attach one clip on each side and one
clip near all four corners.
Option 2 – Another method is to apply transfer tape directly to the
gel frame. The clips are not necessary when taping the gel.
The gel frame is secured to the xture by 4 spring-loaded pins. Align the pins of the
gel frame with the oval receptacle holes on the edge of the xture. Pull back the pins
and release into the receptacles to properly secure the gel frame.
Place the long edge of the Louver (LVR-I80-S) into the lower channel containing a set
of leaf springs. Press down on the Louver and slip the upper edge of the louver into
the upper channel of the xture. To remove, reverse the procedure.

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.
To loosen or tighten the lollipop, turn lock lever.
With a 180 degree turn, the lever can be adjusted to
provide the necessary clamping strength. Reorienting
the lever allows for further tightening or loosening of the
clamp.
To reorient the lock lever, pull lever away from mount.
This disengages the lever from the screw mechanism
and allows it to be reoriented.
Note: You can also use a screwdriver to adjust the
travel. Pull back on lever and adjust the screw in the
center of the lever.

Mounting to a Set Wall
Cardholders MTP-IB1 (x2), MTP-IB2 (x2)
The Flathead 80 has screw points within the xture to allow it to be
fastened at against a surface.
The Flathead 80 is equipped with unique cardholder corner brackets
that allow foam core panels to be clipped in place.
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.
Fixture can operate as far as 75 feet from
the ballast (3 x 25ft extensions).

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 dead-
quiet, instant-on and lightweight.
The Ballasts operate remote from the xture. Connect the extension cables
to the ballasts and the Flathead 80 xture. After the lamps are properly
installed, the ballasts can be turned on.
Cold Temperature Operation
The Ballast is designed to operate at temperatures from 14°F to 122°F
(-10°C to +50°C). In cold temperatures, the Ballast may not strike the
lamp(s) instantly. Switch the Ballast to OFF, wait seven seconds and try
again. If the Ballast does not strike after two or three attempts, turn off
the Ballast, check that the Extension and Harness connections are secure
and re-strike. Once operating for a few minutes, the lamps should re-strike
instantly.

4Bank DMX Control Panel
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.
(Channels 1~4 = Lamps; Channel 5 = 4ft/2ft)
D) DMX OK: Lights if valid DMX signal is present and conforms to
DMX512/1990 protocol.
E) Manual Switches: Turns lamps on and off manually.
F) Lamp Select Switch: Set to 4ft for 4ft lamps and 2ft for 2ft lamps.
G) Fuse: Provides circuit protection. Note: If Fuse is “blown” or “open”,
replace with same type of fuse rating as marked.

Manual Operation
Lamp Select Feature
The 4Bank and 4Bank DMX 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 airow, 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: The manual 2ft/4ft switch is disabled as soon as the DMX cable is applied.
To manually control the 2ft/4ft switch 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 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 xture are numbered 1 and 2.
Ballast 1 operates the four inner lamps; Ballast 2 operates
the four outside lamps as illustrated below.

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 ickering, 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.
Dimmer level from 0%~50% operates all the lamps
at the 4ft setting. Dimmer level from 50%~100%
operates the lamps in the 2ft setting and the overall
light output drops by ½ f-stop.
Note: If the 5th address is not addressed, the ballast
will default in the 4ft setting. The 4ft/2ft select setting
controls all 4 lamps equally. Individual settings per
lamp are not possible.
IMPORTANT!
The dimmer board/light console should have its channel set to LINEAR light
output response. (LINEAR response is the default setting on most dimmer
boards.)
Note: If a Fixture or Ballast loses its DMX signal, it will hold its last
DMX command. For this reason, it is important to turn a Fixture or Ballast
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 com-
mand and stay on. The Fixtures or Ballasts require a DMX “Off” or “Black-
out” command in order to turn off.
