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.

FOCUSING
Standard Yoke Model: 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 luminaire if desired. When focusing, first spot the beam
down, position the luminaire and then flood the beam to cover the area required. The beam can then be shaped using the
barndoors (Order Code: 20BDSF12).
FFT Yoke Model: 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.
YOKE PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
The yoke on the Rama 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 fixture, 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 bolt, and the tilt locking clamp.
PAN AND TILT ADJUSTMENT
Standard Yoke Model: To pan your luminaire, loosen the yoke nut and bolt holding the hookclamp onto the yoke and adjust the yoke as
required, then retighten the yoke nut and bolt. The nylock nut that secures the yoke on the opposite side to the tilt handle sets the tilt lock friction.
The tilt friction can be adjusted by loosening or tightening up the nylock nut. To tilt your fixture, turn the tilt lock knob clockwise, tilt the luminaire to
the position required, and then turn the tilt lock knob anticlockwise. A tilt angle reference scale is provided on the locking clamp disc to prefocus the
luminaire if desired.
Please note that as the handles and integrated safety bond on the Rama range can reach high temperatures depending on the position or orientation
of the fixture, and that gloves should always be worn when focusing these fixtures.
FFT Yoke Model: The Rama is suppled with a FFT pan assembly on the yoke to facilitate fast adjustment. To pan your fixture turn the pan locker a
¼ turn clockwise and adjust the yoke as required, then turn the pan locker a ¼ turn anticlockwise to set the position. A pan angle reference scale is
provided on the FFT pan assembly to prefocus the luminaire if desired. The nylock nut that secures the yoke on the opposite side to the tilt handle
sets the tilt lock friction. The tilt friction can be adjusted by loosening or tightening up the nylock nut. To tilt your luminaire, turn the tilt lock knob
clockwise, tilt the luminaire to the position required, and then turn the tilt lock knob anticlockwise. A tilt angle reference scale is provided on the
locking clamp disc to prefocus the luminaire if desired.
