Fixture Assembly

(X2)

The Mega 4Bank xture is comprised of two removable Louvers, a Reector and
a Lamp Harness. The Louvers and Reector are held in place with Velcro fasteners.
The Lamp Harness is secured by means of a ¼ turn fastener and two clips.

Note: The 8ft xtures include two 4ft louvers; the 6ft xtures include two 3ft louvers.

To Release the Lamp Harness

Remove the harness from clips located under the reector. Rotate the ¼ turn fastener
clockwise to release harness.

The lamps can operate independent of the xture
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.

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 xture’s Lamp Holder Clips.

Gelling the Fixture

Restricting the airow around the lamps can cause the lamps 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 xture.

Remove louvers. Do Not clip gels to louver. Do Not block the
xture ends in a manner that restricts airow.

Mounting the Fixture

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.

The Silver Rings provide attachment points for
a safety chain.

To remove the plate, pull up on the locking pin
and reverse the mounting procedure.

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 it to be reoriented.

Note: You can also use a screwdriver to adjust
the travel. Pull back on handle and adjust the
screw in the center of the handle.
