Restricting the airflow around the lamps can cause the lamp to operate hotter. This increased heat will raise the lamp’s color temperature and green spike. Therefore, it is recommended to clip gels to the Doors of the Fixture. Do Not clip gels to louver. Do Not block the fixture ends in a manner that restricts airflow.

25KHz. It is dead–quiet, instant–on and lightweight. Load Considerations: Kino Flo ballasts are not power factor corrected. They will draw double the current on the neutral from what is being drawn on the two hot legs. On large installations it may be necessary to double your neutral run so as not to...

Ballast Operation Continued…. Cold Temperature Operation The Select DMX Ballast series is designed to operate at temperatures from 14F to 122F (–10C to +50C). In cold temperatures, the Ballast may not strike the lamp(s) instantly. Switch the Ballast to OFF, wait seven seconds and try again.

Lamp Select feature continued… 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 half an f-stop in exposure when dropping from 4FT to 2FT.

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 DMX 4Bank ballast operates on 5 addresses.

512 protocol can be used to individually turn on/off lamps in a Fixture. Select DMX 4Bank 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.

Setting the unit to "Fixture Mode" allows the user to turn lamps on and off with an “inside-out” pattern from a dimmer board. One of the best applications for the "Fixture Mode" is when lighting Blue and Green Screens or large Cycloramas. For example: One row of fixtures can be set to Fixture mode on a common address.

A Single splitter can provide 4 individual cable feeds to lamps or fixtures in a set. (For parts see page 16). After the DMX address is entered, the Select DMX 4Bank automatically assigns the next 4 addresses to lamps 2, 3, 4 and the address controls the 2ft setting.

To Chase one lamp through multiple fixtures: 1) Set ballast to Individual Lamp mode. 2) Set each ballast with its own address: 001, 006, 011, 016 and so on. 3) Program address 005, 010, 015 etc. for 2ft operation. 4) Program lamp sequence to chase from 001 through 004, 006-009, 011-014 and so on.
