Filters, Mounting a Filter | Anton/Bauer UL-2 specification

FILTERS

Adapter accessories are detachable pivoting filter/lenses allowing the user to flip the adapter in and out of the beam pattern. Adapters (Diffuser, Wide Angle, Dichroic) are mounted in a holder, pivoted from a slotted tab. The adapter assembly is attached to the Head Module by sliding the slotted tab into the space between the light head safety glass holder and the hood.

UL-WA. Ultralight Wide Angle Adapter. Converts both spot bulbs and medium flood bulbs into full flood (36°) patterns. A very efficient optical device that provides an exceptionally smooth and even pattern and will cover the widest angle zoom lenses. The UL-WA filter can also be used with flood bulbs to smooth out uneven bulb patterns.

UL-DF. Ultralight #1 Diffuser. For use with spot bulbs. Lowers light output by approximately one “f” stop (50%) while softening the edges of the beam pattern and increasing beam diameter approximately 50%.

UL-DC. Ultralight Dichroic Filter. Converts output of bulbs to match 5600°K daylight. The UL-DC filter must be used when using the Ultralight for daylight fill or cool white fluorescent fill.

When properly fitted, the slot in the tab will align with a screw in the center of the hood. The tab insertion requires a slight force. If the filter assembly is too loose and does not stay in place, bend each side of the tab in opposite directions as shown to provide sufficient holding friction. The friction on the filter pivot may be increased by tightening the pivot screw which extends the length of the filter assembly.

MOUNTING A FILTER

Adapters may be attached to the top of the Head Module or to either side and folded back against the Head Module when not in use. Two adapters may be simultaneously attached to the lighthead (one on either side). A UL-DC can be used in combination with either a UL-WA or a UL-DF simultaneously.

When trying to accommodate two filters at the same time, it may be necessary to obtain a new hinge for the filter, which will allow two to be used simultaneously. The part number for this hinge is #5140- 1051. Please contact the Anton/Bauer Customer Service Department for more details at (800) 541- 1667, (203) 929-1100, or support@antonbauer.com.

PERMANENTLY MOUNTING A FILTER

First removethe screw and washer (between the hood and glass frame) from any one of the Head Module’s three sides. Install the filter as described before. Reinsert the screw and tighten fully. The washer will no longer be necessary.
