point in this manual, don’t guess. Don’t take short cuts. If in doubt, stop! Contact Selecon or one of

Handling Notice:
The innovative use of new thermoplastic materials for the new model Acclaim Fresnel and PC front and rear isolates the
considerable heat generated by the lamp away from those areas which are used when focusing, which has to be done
when the luminaire is on. This means that the focus knob, rear grab handle and accessories slot can be handled without
the use of gloves.
However, the original Acclaim Fresnel and PC CANNOT BE HANDLED AT ALL when the
luminaire is on without the use of gloves.
The new model Acclaims are instantly identified by the integrated safety bond design feature however if in any doubt at all
PLEASE USE GLOVES TO AVOID POSSIBLE BURNS.

First Time Use:
When using your fixture for the first time, there is a “burn in” period. Light smoke caused by the evaporation of
assembly lubricants will be produced. This is a temporary effect that will cease when the lubricant has fully evaporated.
Mounting your luminaire:
A Safety bond MUST always be used when rigging luminaires on bars, ladders etc.
•
The Acclaim Fresnel and PC has an integral safety bond that can be
retracted into the luminaire when not in use. To use the safety bond, loosen
the safety bond locking clamp located on the top of the lamphouse, pull the
clip out from the rear of the lamphouse, and loop the safety bond around the
bar fastening the clip onto the safety bond.
To replace the safety bond, remove the rear lamphouse moulding, slide out
the safety bond locking clamp, and pull out the safety bond, taking care to
retain the safety bond loop bar. Reverse the process with a new safety bond.
Replace only with the approved safety bonds 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.
This luminaire uses a theatre lamp with a grid filament. To avoid premature lamp failure it
is essential that the luminaire 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.
Please note also that the maximum tilt angles of the luminaire are 90º either side of
horizontal.

Yoke Pivot Adjustment
The yoke on the Acclaim 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 luminaire, 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

Focusing:
The cone of light is adjusted by first loosening the focus knob on the side of the luminaire and then
sliding it towards the front or rear. This moves the lamp and reflector in relation to the lens –
forward increases the beam angle (flood), moving the lamp to the rear narrows the beam angle
(spot).
Take care to move the focus adjustment carefully as the lamp filament is burning white hot and is at
its most vulnerable. Don’t over-tighten the focus knob finger tight pressure is all that’s required.
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 barndoor accessory (Order Code 20BDMF).
Pan and Tilt Adjustment:
To pan the luminaire, loosen the wingnut and adjust, then retighten. To tilt, loosen the locking clamp handle on the side of
the luminaire, tilt and retighten finger tight.
The tilt lock friction is set by the nylock nut that secures the yoke on the opposite side to the tilt handle. The tilt friction can
be adjusted by loosening or tightening up the nylock nut.
Using the Barndoor Accessory:
The barndoor accessory fits into the front slot of the colour frame holder. It can be rotated to set
the mask angle you require. The barndoor shapes the light beam by masking part of it. It is
effective from a medium beam to flood. In spot focus the barndoor acts only to reduce visible
glare.
Cleaning - wipe the lens and reflector with a soft rag to remove accumulated dust.
Accessories:
Suspension Hookclamp (Order Code 20HC) Half Coupler
Mega Clamp Lens Safety Mesh (Order Code 15ACSM)
Four door rotatable Barndoor (Order Code 20BDMF) FFT Pan Assemly
