LAMPING YOUR LUMINAIRE
Before lamping – DISCONNECT THE LUMINAIRE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY. Be aware also that the lamp or luminaire
may still be hot, so exercise the necessary caution to avoid burns. Please note also that these luminaires are not suitable
for mounting on a normally flammable surface.
The Selecon Rama 175 HP Fresnel 80V model is designed for use with either the Phillips 1200W 6980Z lamp (80V) or the GE 1200W OC1200 lamp
(80V). To relamp:
•
•
•
Release the clip fastener and swing down the rear door.
Insert lamp taking care not to touch the quartz envelope with your fingers.
Close door and lock off the fastener.
The luminaire should be at least 1m away from the nearest object it is lighting.
MOUNTING YOUR LUMINAIRE
Your luminaire 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.
Standard Yoke Model
To mount on the theatre standard scaffold pipe (50mmO.D.) use a theatre hookclamp (G clamp) (Order Code: 20HC). Your luminaire 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.
FFT Yoke Model
To mount on the theatre standard scaffold pipe (50mmO.D.) use a Mega Clamp or similar. Your luminaire 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.
A Safety Chain MUST always be used when rigging luminaires 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 luminaire
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 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.
