Assembly:
The CL68RGB comes fully assembled, including the barn doors. If you prefer to
remove the barn doors, simply take out the 4 Barn Door Attachment Bolts (6).
They can be removed or reinstalled anytime you like.
Mounting the Light:
Slide the base of the Light Stand Mount (1) onto the top of a sturdy light
stand that has a 5/8″ mounting stud. Be sure the Light Stand Connection Knob
(3) is loosened and the cavity in the base of the Light Stand Mount (1) is
clear before placing it onto a light stand. Now tighten the Light Stand
Connection Knob (3). Once mounted, use the Tilt Control Knobs (4) to change
the light’s angle. While holding the light, loosen these knobs, tilt the
light, and then re-tighten the knobs. The Yoke (2) will remain in place while
the body of the light tilts within it.
Powering the Light:
Be sure the light is switched OFF before attempting to connect it to any power
source and also before disconnecting the light from any power source. Do this
by setting the Power Switch (10) to its center position. Connecting to AC
Power An AC cord is included with this kit. This is, in fact, a two-part cord
with a transformer. Locate both parts and connect them together using the
figure-8 style connector in the transformer. Next, connect the barrel-style
end of the cord to the light’s Power Input Socket (17). Finally, connect the
other end of the AC cord to a common wall outlet with a voltage supply of 100
240 V. When connecting the AC cord, be sure to support the transformer at
all times. A stretchy, hook-and-loop strap is included to aid with this. Use
the strap to attach the transformer to your light stand by wrapping it around
them both, leaving some slack in the cord that goes from the transformer to
the back of the light. Never allow the transformer to hang or put a strain on
the cord or the Power Input Socket (17). Once you have securely connected the
CL68RGB to a proper wall outlet power source, push the Power Switch (10) to
the right to turn the light ON.

Connecting to Batteries (NP-F or via D-Tap) Although the CL68RGB includes an
AC adapter for connecting to a wall outlet, it can also run using battery
power. There are two battery options for you to choose from: 1. Using NP-F
type batteries: Locate the NP-F Battery Slots (8) on the back of the light.
Using two
compatible NP-F type batteries (7.4V / 4,400 mAh minimum), insert them one at
a time into these slots with their contacts facing toward the center of the
light. Push and hold each battery against the slot (while supporting the light
to prevent it from falling) and slide the battery away from the outside and
towards the center until you feel it click into place securely. The light
requires two NP-F batteries of equal capacity and voltage for proper
operation. It will not function with just one NP-F battery.
To release the NP-F type batteries, hold your hand against one of them at a
time, and press the Battery Release Button (9) below it. This will release the
security lock holding the battery. Remove each battery carefully from the back
of the light.
With two, charged NP-F batteries installed, push the Power Switch (10) to the
left to turn the light ON. 2. Using batteries with D-Tap: Locate the D-Tap
adapter cable which is included with this light, and be sure to have a
compatible battery with an on-board D-Tap connection (V-Mount & Gold Mount
batteries often have a D-Tap) fully charged and nearby. The D-Tap adapter
cable has a barrel-style connector on one end and a D-Tap connector on the
other. Only use the included cable with this light because it has an internal
current regulator to ensure proper and safe power to the light.
Insert the barrel end of the included D-Tap cable into the light’s Power Input
Socket (17) first. Next, connect the other end of the cable to the D-Tap port
on the battery while supporting it. It is important to keep the battery
supported so it does not put a strain on the cable or Power Input Socket (17).
A stretchy, hook-and-loop strap is included to aid with this. Use the strap to
attach the battery to your light stand by wrapping it around them both,
leaving some slack in the cord that goes from the battery to the back of the
light. Never allow the battery to hang or put a strain on the cord or the
Power Input Socket (17).
With a charged D-Tap battery connected, push the Power Switch (10) to the
right to turn the light ON.
Note: The CL68RGB does not include batteries. ProMaster offers a wide
assortment of both NP-F type and D-Tap compatible batteries. Contact your
local ProMaster dealer or go to www.promaster.com for more information.
Additional note: Only connect the CL68RGB to one power source at a time.

Using the Light:
Adjusting Brightness
The CL68RGB’s brightness can be changed anytime, while the light is in any mode. Simply press the BRT Button (13) to highlight the current brightness setting on the LCD Display (7) and turn the Main Control Knob (11) clockwise to increase it, or counterclockwise to decrease it. The brightness can be adjusted on a scale of 1 100%.
Selecting a Mode
The CL68RGB has 3 modes: CCT, HSI, and EFFECTS. Each time you press the MODE Button (12) the light’s mode will change among these 3 options.
CCT Mode
CCT stands for Correlated Color Temperature. This is also known as “bi-color” mode. Here the CL68RGB will emit a white light for which you can adjust the warmth & coolness within a range of 2,500K to 8,500K using the kelvin color temperature scale. To adjust the color temperature, press the TEMP / HUE / EFX Button (15) and the current color temperature setting will be highlighted on the LCD Display (7). Next, turn the Main Control Knob (11) clockwise to increase the color temperature setting or counterclockwise to decrease it.
HSI Mode
HSI stands for Hue Saturation Intensity. In this mode you can use the CL68RGB to emit a colored light by selecting a hue and adjusting the saturation of that hue. To adjust the hue (color of light), press the TEMP HUE FX Button (15) to highlight the current setting on the LCD Display (7). Each hue has a number on a scale of 0 to 360. Turn the Main Control Knob (11) clockwise to increase the number or counterclockwise to decrease it.
To adjust the saturation of the hue, press the SAT Button (16) to highlight the current setting on the LCD Display (7). Turn the Main Control Knob (11) clockwise to increase the saturation or counterclockwise to decrease it on a scale of 0 100%.
Effects Mode
This mode is used for creating scenes in video. To change the particular effect, press the TEMP HUE FX Button (15) to highlight the current effect setting on the LCD Display (7). Turn the Main Control Knob (11) clockwise to increase the number counterclockwise to decrease it. Effects are numbered 1 49 as follows:
