Fixture Assembly
The 4Bank fixture is comprised of a removable Louver,
Reflector, and Lamp Harness. The Louver and Reflector
are held in place with Velcro fasteners. The Lamp Harness
is secured by means of a ¼ turn fastener and two clips.
To Release the Lamp Harness
Remove the harness from 2 clips located under the reflector.
Rotate the ¼ turn fastener clockwise to release harness.
The lamps can operate independent
of the fixture allowing them to be
built into sets or custom soft boxes
or hand held as a single tube for an
eye-light
WARNING: Always use safety coated
lamps to avoid injury if lamp breaks.

Lamp Harness Color Codes
RED
YELLOW
BLACK
BLUE
4Bank Harness
The Harness wiring is color-coded. The same color-code must
match at each end of the lamp for proper operation.
Inserting Lamps
Locking Lamp Connector:
Depress both tabs on lamp connector and apply to lamp pins.
Match the Harness color-codes at each end of the lamp.
Push lamps into the fixture’s Lamp Holder Clips.
5
Gelling the Fixture
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.
Mounting the Fixture
The standard mount (MTP-KL41)
comes with a 3/8” Lollipop that
clamps into a grip head. The ball and
socket mount allows the fixture to be
oriented in a broad range of angles.
Align the center pin of the mounting
plate 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.
The yellow wire loops provide
attachment points for a safety chain.
6
To remove the plate, pull up on the
locking pin and rotate the plate counter
clockwise.
A 180° turn loosens the orientation of
the mount.
A right turn tightens the mount.
The tension on the lock lever may be
adjusted by pulling the handle away
from the mount.
This disengages the handle from the
screw mechanism and allows the lever
to be reoriented.
Lollipops are interchangeable.

Other Fixture Mounting Options
The grommet
holes along
the edge of
the fixture
are designed
to allow the
fixture to be
screwed onto
set walls.
Extension Cable
To insert the cable, align the key
ways on the extension cable with
the circular receptacle on the ballast.
Rotate the locking ring until it clicks
into the lock position. Lamps can
operate as far as 75 feet from the
ballast. (3 x 25ft extensions)
A Splitter can be used at the Ballast
or on the end of an Extension Cable
to split a 4Bank run into either
4 Singles or 2 Doubles.
This allows for greater rigging
flexibility.
