Functions

Lamp Installation

Disconnect the unit from power. To remove the lamp housing, loosen the bottom threearm handle two full turns and pull the assembly straight out. Please note the three-arm handle stud has a threadless section preventing inadvertent removal of the socket assemble during typical alignment procedures.

The lamp socket assembly includes a medium two-pin socket mounted within a heat sink assembly. Push the lamp firmly into the socket until it stops, then push again harder and the lamp will ease in an additional 1/16”. A properly seated lamp will require a substantial tug to remove. Proper lamp installation is important to insure maximum lamp and socket life.

Reinsert the lamp housing by lining up the knob indentations of the socket housing with the respective bosses on the reflector housing. Tighten the bottom handle against the reflector housing.

Focusing

Loosen but do not remove the focus locking knob on the top front of the unit. The lens tube can now be moved in and out for desired focus. Soft focus should be typically attained by moving the lens tube out past sharp focus. Inward soft focus positions will produce a wider (flooded) field of diminished uniformity. Tighten the knob to maintain a desired focus position.

Lamp Alignment

The 5/50 Series Ellipsoidals feature a rapid and precise lamp alignment system, consisting of two handles. The center three-arm knob on the lamp housing assembly accurately positions the lamp within the reflector, while the bottom three-arm handle controls peak/flat alignment.

Peak/flat focus is achieved by loosening the bottom handle. Move the assembly forward for peak focus (brighter intensity) or back for flat focus (even intensity throughout light beam). Tighten the bottom handle after desired focus is achieved.

To center the lamp, loosen the three-arm handle on lamp housing assembly and move lamp along ‘x’ or ‘y’ axis. Tighten back handle when setting is achieved.

The peak alignment condition is useful for area blending and highlighting, while flat focus is particularly useful for single isolated areas and pattern protection.

Additionally, intentional lamp misalignment is useful for unusual beam shaping and highlighting.

Beam Shaping

Beam shaping components include the framing shutters, a pattern projection slot and an optional iris.

Each framing shutter blade travels in its own plane and is capable of ± 60° of angulation. This provides greater versatility in creating unusual three and four sided figures. Each blade has a heat resistant handle with a convenient finger hole.

A customer installed iris is available as an accessory. If all components are used concurrently, a soft edge on either the iris or the shutter can be expected.

Beam size and shape may also be altered by profile pattern projection (see Pattern Projection).

Lenses

Leviton NSI-Colortran ellipsoidal spotlights feature a patented lens system allowing variable locations for planoconvex lenses, creating different system field angles. The lenses in the 30° model (Cat. No. EL30) may be repositioned as a 40° (Cat. No. EL40) or a 20° (Cat. No. EL20). The addition of a 6” x 12” lens creates the 15° (Cat. No. EL15).

To change lenses: Remove the focus knob, at the top front of the unit, pull out the lens tube assembly, and remove the four phillips head screws that hold it together.

The tube contains three lens retaining grooves. See Figure 1 for the lens placements to obtain various field spreads.

NOTE

Some beam combinations require a corrective field stop. For optimum sharpness, make sure the correct stop is in place in the designated groove. The extra stops may be purchased as optional accessories.

When reassembling, make sure the three rubber lens mounts have been replaced on 120° centers. The lenses must not touch metal. Also be sure that the sliding locking nut is in the groove formed by the top joint of the castings.

NOTE

Interchangeablity is limited to 20°, 30° and 40° fixtures.

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 25’ x 4’ rolls.

Pattern Projection

All Leviton NSI-Colortran spotlights are equipped with pattern projection slots. Standard pattern holders are available as an accessory (Cat. No. 000-AELPH-000).

Place the pattern in the holder and the holder in the slot. Focus for sharpest detail. If haze appears around the image, align the lamp to a flat field condition (see Lamp Alignment). Additional clarity and contrast may be achieved by the use of projection stops. These stops fit into the accessory clips and block flare which decreases projection contrast.

Custom patterns of sheet metal cut to fit pattern holder may also be used.

Maintenance

Reflector

The reflector may be taken out by removing the shroud mounting plate, then removing the two reflector retaining screws.

The Alzak® finish requires little maintenance: Occasionally wipe it with cotton, tissue, or a

laundered handkerchief moistened with isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with water.

Strong alkaline or acid cleaners and abrasives

SHOULD NOT be used.

Lenses

All lenses are precision molded using the highest quality lowexpansion borosilicate glass. Since the spotlight is state-of-theart, quality lenses are necessary to withstand the high radiation energy densities. NEVER use a lens that is chipped, cracked, scratched, or tinted green.

Gate

The gate is accessed by removing the four phillips head screws holding the lens shroud to the reflector housing. The gate assembly is comprised of a sandwich of shutter blades and separate planes topped by the pattern slot plate. The assembly is retained within the casting and tension applied by four spring clips. A single blade or plate may be removed for replacement by taking the spring clips off and then reapplying them.
