Functions

Lamp Installation

Disconnect the unit from power. Open 

the lens door by pulling the top of the 

door pivot latch towards you. This will 

allow the door to swing open, revealing 

a lamp carriage assembly with a 

lampholder and reflector mounted to the 

platform.

To lamp the theatre fixture, Cat. 

No. FR1TH, align the flanges 

of the pre focus lamp with the 

respective indentations of the 

pre focus lampholder. Please 

note the lamp flanges are 

asymmetrical, and the large 

lamp flange must align with 

large socket indentation. After 

alignment, press lamp down 

by the ceramic base and twist 

clockwise 90° until lamp locks in 

position.

To lamp the television fixture, 

Cat. No. FR1TV, release the 

locking lever of the bipost 

socket so the lever is parallel 

to the extruded housing. 

Insert the bipost lamp into the 

socket until the lamp stops, 

then lock the lever to the 

original position. The socket 

should firmly hold the lamp in 

position. Be sure that the lever 

is completely closed.

Close the lens door until latch 

engages.

NOTE

 

Please do not touch the quartz lamp envelope during installation. If this 

occurs, clean the lamp with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and lint free, 

clean cloth.

These Leviton fresnels are UL listed to 1000 watts. Any usage of higher 

wattage lamps is improper usage of the fixture and voids any manufacturing 

warranties. Please use only the lamps listed in the charts shown here.

Focusing

The Leviton fresnels have an 

extremely wide focusing range, with 

spot focus applications to 85' and ten 

foot projected diameters at only 8' in 

full flood focus. The focus system is 

simple to operate and maintain.
The focusing is controlled on the right 

side of the fixture, simply turn the 

handle clockwise for flood focus and 

counter clockwise for spot focus.

Beam Control

The fresnel spotlight is a soft focusing projector that may be framed to reduce 

flare or direct the light through Leviton barn doors and top hats. The beam 

may be further softened through wire scrims or filters. Color temperature may 

be shifted with Leviton dichroic glass filters, or normal color medium.
The Leviton fresnels accept industry standard 10" x 10" accessories, allowing 

the fixtures to accept automated color changers, liquid crystal strobe effects 

and many other items.

Color

Lee Color Effect Filters are recommended for all filter applications. These 

filters are available in over 175 colors, color corrections, and diffusion 

selections. Lee Filters are available in both 21” x 4” sheets and 25ʼ x 4ʼ rolls.

Maintenance

Reflector

The reflector may be accessed by 

opening the lens door. Remove 

lamp to access reflector surface for 

cleaning. The Alzak

®

 finish requires 

little maintenance, occasionally wipe 

with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and a 

lint free cloth. Strong alcohol or acidic 

cleaners 

MUST NOT

 be used.

Lens

The lens will become dirty due to 

environmental conditions. To clean, 

use a lint-free cloth and rubbing 

alcohol. Do not use commercial 

lens cleaners. If significant dirt and 

grime exist, remove the lens from 

the fixture and place lens in clean 

water WITHOUT SOAP. Rinse 

grime away, clean the reflector 

with alcohol.

Focus System

The rack and pinion focus system 

can lose tension over long periods of 

time by expansion and contraction of 

the fixture housing and components, 

or the gear itself could move causing 

improper fitting against the cast rack. 

Both items are easily resolved.
The tension is adjusted by turning 

the center screw within the focus 

handle while the fixture is aimed 90 

degrees down, so the full weight of 

the lampholder assembly bears on the 

focus gear. Tighten the screw until the 

assembly does not move. Do not over 

tighten.
The focus gear should interface 

smoothly with the rack on the focus 

platform. To adjust, aim fixture to a 

horizontal axis or place unit on a table. 

Remove the focus handle. Loosen 

but do not remove the screws on each 

side of the focus gear. Reach inside the 

fixture and move the socket assembly 

manually. Adjust the focus gear so the 

assembly is halfway between maximum 

possible engagement into the rack and 

the point where gears will slip. Tighten 

the two screws when focus gear reaches 

that point.
The focus assembly will grind against the 

rack if engaged too deeply, and gears will 

slip if adjustment is too high.
