Safety Warnings
1.0m D
= 90o
Not for residential use.
CAUTION: Hot Surfaces, Avoid contact by persons or materials.
The Pacific has some hot surfaces. Be careful to avoid burns. Take care with the lamp
house and Heat sink. We suggest the use of leather gloves when focusing these
luminaires.
SAFETY –Mains Power Isolation
The Pacific range is fitted with a micro-switch that automatically disconnects the mains
power when the lamp holder is removed. However, it is also recommended that the
luminaire should always be electrically isolated from mains power before re-lamping,
cleaning or servicing.
CAUTION: Risk of fire - Use with max 1000 watt lamp.
CAUTION: For the 575W MSR model Pacific, use only a high-pressure lamp of the proper
size and type in this lamp system.
These luminaires are not suitable for mounting on a normally flammable surface.
These luminaires are not suitable for outdoor use. They are rated at IP00.
The luminaire should be at least 1.0 metre away from the nearest object it is lighting.
The Pacific range can be operated only through a range of angles 90either side of
horizontal.
Operating your luminaire for the first time
When first opening the packing box for your luminaire,
please note that the lamp holder module is in a separate
box. Before inserting a lamp into the module, we suggest
that you practice the motion of removing and inserting the
lamp holder module from the lamphouse.
Loosen the thumb-screw at the front of the lamp
holder module by about 5mm. Holding the lamp
holder module by the Handle, slide it forward until
both the rear lip and the front 'T' of the lamp holder
module clear their home positions. Reverse this
action to replace the lamp holder and then tighten
the thumb-screw to lock the lamp holder module
into position.

Pacific Operation Manual 5
Version 4 October 2010
For ease of shipping, the Pacific VNZ is supplied
with the lamp house removed. Attach the lamp
house by sliding it into the guides on the rear of
the lens tube, and then fastening the lamp house
locking clamp. Attach the supplied safety chain
between the luminaire anchor point, and the rear
anchor point of the lens tube (see below).
To enable the balancing of the Pacific VNZ, the
yoke is mounted on the lens tube. The balancing of the Pacific VNZ is best done when the luminaire is being
unpacked for use. Please refer to page 7 for more details. The lamp house has no yoke fitted. A yoke can be
fitted if the lamp house is to be used with other lens barrels. Please contact your Philips Selecon distributor for
order codes.
Familiarise yourself with the way the shutter assembly can be rotated by loosening the shutter assembly knob
on the rear of the tube, and turning the assembly. Note how the colour frames are locked into the front of the
lens tube with the colour frame locking clip and plunger.
The Pacific VNZ provides for mounting 2 gobo holders. Practice inserting them into both the front and rear
position as it is easier to familiarise yourself with something new while it is on the ground rather than up in the
air.
Lamp Replacement & adjustment:
Isolate electrically before re-lamping the luminaire. Also be aware that the lamp or luminaire may still
be hot, so exercise necessary caution to avoid burns.
To ensure optimum performance from your Pacific luminaire, follow the steps below:
Centering the lamp
1 Remove the lamp holder module as described above.
2 Set the level of the metal cup holding the lamp base. The metal cup has a line around it. This level is
factory set to the optimum position, and the luminaire output is then confirmed with test equipment.
The optimum position has the line level with the edge of the module.
First level the cup with the edge of the module by adjusting the three levelling screws. Then set to the
correct height as detailed above.
3 Remove the old lamp. Align the pins of the new lamp to the correct holes and push the lamp firmly
home. Do not touch the quartz envelope of the lamp with your fingers - use the plastic or paper
sheath supplied to insert the lamp.
4 Carefully replace the lamp holder module and tighten the thumbscrew to lock it into position.
Reconnect the luminaire to the power supply.
5 Turn on the luminaire to approximately 30%. This makes the peak easier to see, and reduces the
stress on the filament. Set the beam angle to its widest with a sharp edge.
6 Centre the lamp in the middle of the beam if necessary, by adjusting the three levelling screws.
