MOUNTING YOUR FIXTURE 

Your fixture uses a theatre lamp with a grid filament. To avoid premature lamp failure it is 
essential that the fixture 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. 

Rama 

6” Fresnel and PC / Rama 7” Fresnel and PC 

To  mount  on  the  theatre  standard  scaffold  pipe  (

2”  O.D.)  use  a  theatre  hookclamp  (G 

clamp) (Order Code: 20HC). Your fixture is supplied with a 12mm set screw, washers and 
a nut.  Thread the set screw through the yoke from the inside, put on a washer, then the 
hookclamp,  another  washer  and  then  do  up  finger  tight  with  the  nut.  To  mount  on  a 
telescopic stand, reverse the yoke under the luminaire 

and bolt the stand’s spigot onto the 

12mm set screw. 

Rama 

6” FFT Fresnel and PC, Rama 6” FFT HP Fresnel and PC 

To mount on the theatre standard scaffold pipe (

2” O.D.) Use a Mega Clamp or similar. 

Your  fixture  is  supplied  with  a  FFT  pan  grip  control  to  facilitate  fast  adjustment.  Place 
the  Mega  Clamp  into  the  top  of  the  FFT  pan  grip  control,  and  fasten  onto  the  central 
shaft  thread.  Do  not  use  a  washer  between  the  clamp  and  the  pan  control.  Lock  the 
Mega  Clamp  into  place  with  the  guides

.  For  further  information  refer  to  the  separate 

sheet provided with the FFT Pan Grip control. 

SAFETY CHAIN 

A safety chain MUST always be used when rigging fixtures on bars, ladders etc.  The Rama has an integral 
safety bond that can be retracted into the fixture when not in use. To use the safety chain, unscrew the safety 
chain locking clamp located on the top of the lamphouse, pull the clip out from the rear of the lamphouse, and 
loop the safety chain around the bar fastening the clip onto the safety chain. Be careful to allow sufficient 
slack to enable the fixture to be focussed freely. To replace the safety chain, remove the rear lamphouse 
molding, slide out the safety chain locking clamp, and pull out the safety chain, taking care to retain the safety 
chain loop bar. Reverse the process with a new safety chain. Replace only with the approved Safety Chains 
available from Selecon or your distributor. 

WARNING

: the integrated safety chain 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. 

FOCUSING 

Rama 

6” Fresnel and PC, Rama 7” Fresnel and PC 

The  variable  beam  of  the  Rama  is  altered  by  adjusting  the  position  of  the  lamp  /  reflector 
assembly relative to the  lens. Finger tight  pressure only  is necessary to lock the lamp / reflector 
assembly  off  in  the  chosen  positions.  A  beam  angle  reference  scale  is  provided  to prefocus  the 
fixture if desired. 

When focusing, first spot the beam down, position the fixture and then flood the beam to cover the area required. The 
beam can then be shaped using the barndoors (Order Code: 20BDSF12). 

Rama 

6” FFT Fresnel and PC, Rama 7” FFT HP Fresnel and PC 

The variable beam of the Rama is altered by adjusting the position of the lamp / reflector assembly relative to the lens. 
The Rama is suppled with an FFT focus assembly to facilitate fast adjustment. To adjust the beam angle of the Rama, 
squeeze  the  focus  grip  and  slide  to  the  position  required.  Release  the  focus  grip  to  lock  the  focus.    A  beam  angle 
reference scale is provided to prefocus the fixture if desired. 

When focusing, first spot the beam down, position the fixture and then flood the beam to cover the area required. The 
beam can then be shaped using the barndoors.
