First Time Use: 

When using your fixture for the first time, there is a “burn in” period. Light smoke caused by the evaporation of 

assembly lubricants will be produced. This is a temporary effect that will cease when the lubricant has fully evaporated. 

 

 

 

Mounting your luminaire: 

 

A Safety bond MUST always be used when rigging luminaires on bars, ladders etc.   
 

The 

Acclaim Fresnel and PC

 has an integral safety bond that can be 

retracted into the luminaire when not in use. To use the safety bond, loosen 
the safety bond locking clamp located on the top of the lamphouse, pull the 
clip out from the rear of the lamphouse, and loop the safety bond around the 
bar fastening the clip onto the safety bond.  

 
To replace the safety bond, remove the rear lamphouse moulding, slide out 
the safety bond locking clamp, and pull out the safety bond, taking care to 
retain the safety bond loop bar. Reverse the process with a new safety bond. 
Replace only with the approved safety bonds available from Selecon or your 
distributor. 

 

 

WARNING

: the integrated safety bond will get very hot during use, please take care in handling when the 

luminaire is on. 

Please be careful to allow sufficient slack to allow the luminaire to be focused freely. 

 

 

This luminaire uses a theatre lamp with a grid filament. To avoid premature lamp failure it 
is essential that the luminaire is always mounted so the yoke is horizontal and with the 
lamp base down, i.e. the lamp adjustment knob is at the bottom of the rear lamp plate. 
 

Please note also that the maximum tilt angles of the luminaire are 90º either side of 
horizontal.

Your luminaire is supplied with an 
M12 set screw, two washers and a 
nut.   
 
Pass the set screw through the yoke 
hole from the inside, put on a washer, 
then the hook clamp, another washer 
and then tighten the nut.  

 
If you are not using the set screw, washers and nut, please dispose of them responsibly.  

 

To mount on a telescopic stand  

Reverse the yoke under the luminaire and bolt the stand's spigot onto the set screw.  

 

Yoke Pivot Adjustment  

 
The yoke on the Acclaim range can be positioned anywhere in the channel that runs the length of the luminaire. This is 
useful to achieve the best balance if using a colour changer or other accessory mounted on the front of the luminaire, or to 
fit the luminaire in space restricted positions. 
 
The yoke balance point is factory set on the lamp house for normal applications.  To move the yoke, loosen the M8 bolt at 
the bottom pivot point of the yoke on the right side of the luminaire.  Release the tilt locking clamp on the left side of the 
luminaire, and slide the yoke to the required position. Check the yoke is evenly positioned on each side and tighten the M8
