[NovaP300c-NovaP600c] Getting Started
Setting up the Nova P300c & P600c
Setting Up the Lamp Head
Put the support column of the lamp head into the hole of the lamp stand, and use the fastening knob of the lamp holder to lock it. The angle of the lamp head can be adjusted by rotating the handle on the side of the lamp head.
Lightning Clamp Operation Instructions
- Clamp the Lightning Clamp onto a light stand or Yoke.
- To attach the control box, rotate the release lever to unlock the quick-release baseplate, then mount the control box onto the Lightning Clamp (the release lever will automatically spring back).
- To remove the control box, grasp it firmly, then unlock the quick-release plate by turning the release lever, and detach the control box.
The quick-release plate on the lamp head fixes the control box in the same way as the quick- release part fixes the control box.
Lightning Clamp Specifications
Weight 670g / 1.48lbs Sizes(L*W*H) 10.35x8.74x12.5cm / 4.07x3.44x4.92in |
* The Lightning Clamp can clamp onto square or round pipe with a diameter between 2-5cm or 0.79-1.97in. |
Connect the Lamp Head to the Control Box
(P600c Only) Connect the lamp head and control through the contacts:
There is a quick-release plate (with Electrical contacts) on the back of the control box, which can be quickly installed on the lamp head or the Lighting Clamp on the lamp stand; the lamp head has a Pogo pin in the quick-installation part slot, and the control box does not need to be connected after being installed on the lamp head cable, can directly control the lamp head through the contact transmission signal.

Powering by DC
P300c
You can also power this light via DC 24V-48V Power from a 3-pin XLR. This can be done via our an Aputure Battery Power Station that supports 48V output, or other power stations or block batteries that are capable of outputting the same voltage.
P600c
Connect 48V 15A DC power supply equipment to supply power through the XLR interface to maintain the operation of the lamp.
Powering on the Lamp
After connecting the lamp head to an appropriate power source, connect the lamp head and control box with one of the included 5-Pin Male-to-Female XLR Head Cables or the Pogo pin of the lamp head (P600c only). Press the power button on the side of the control box to turn the light on and off.
If Studio Mode is ON/Enabled, the Control Box will power ON whenever power is supplied to the lamp--pressing the Power Button is not required.
