Advanced Power Settings
SmartPower settings are configured on a set of DIP switches located inside the lamphead.
By placing these switches inside the fixture, misuse of various power configurations is
minimized, as the fixture should be set up with the power sources intended for use in mind.
To access the switches, you must remove the lower panel from the lamphead. Two large
screws must be removed, plus two smaller screws, as shown in the following photo:
The two small switches are located as shown and can be depressed or lifted using a small pin.
The simplest way to think about the SmartPower settings is to consider the maximum power
capability of your DC source below 18 VDC (Low Voltage setting), and the option of limiting of
power draw at a nominal 24VDC (High Voltage setting).
Low Voltage setting (LV)
A standard capacity V-Lock or Gold Mount camera battery will draw 70-95 watts with an
output voltage ranging from 10.5 to 16 VDC. A high-capacity camera battery typically has a
120-150 watt output with a similar output voltage range.
If the Maverick is being used with standard capacity batteries, the LV setting should be set to
75 watts; if the fixture will only be used with high-capacity batteries, the LV setting can be set
to 120 watts. Note that if the LV setting is 75 watts, virtually any capacity camera battery will
work well with Maverick, without damage to the battery.
Note the location of the switch labeled “Option A”, which controls the LV setting. When
depressed, the LV mode is set to 75 watts. This is indicated on the back of the fixture by
illuminating the Red LED. This is the default setting when the fixture is shipped from the
factory. When in the UP position, the LV mode is set to 120 watts and the Red LED on the
back of the fixture is OFF.
Use of the 120 watt LV setting should ONLY
be used with batteries whose output equals or
exceeds 120 watts. A standard capacity battery
will exhibit very little run time and risk battery
damage if operating a Maverick with the LV
setting at 120 watts.
