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 1200W Fresnel and PC range comprises four models: the High Performance Fresnel, High
Performance PC, Compact Fresnel and Compact PC. The Selecon 1200 range is designed for use with

either the T/29 1200W or T/19 1000W lamp.
To facilitate the use of these two lamps which are of different sizes the height of the GX9.5 lampbase is
adjustable. The adjustment is by means of two machined mounting posts. In the lower position the base is
aligned for use with the T/29 1200W lamp. In the top slot the base is aligned for use with the 1000W lamp.
To make the adjustment, loosen the front mounting post with a screwdriver, slide it forward to free the lamp
base. Position the base in the top (1000W) or bottom (1200W) slot, push the post back home and tighten the
screw post.

Lamps able to be used in the 1000/1200 range are: 1200W – T/29: 1000W – T/11, T/19, CP24, CP70.
♦

Release the clip fastener and swing down the rear door.

The luminaire should be at least 1m away from the nearest object it is

MOUNTING YOUR LUMINAIRE

Your 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.

To mount on the theatre standard scaffold pipe (48mm O.D.) use a
theatre hookclamp (G clamp) (Order Code: 20HC). Your luminaire is
supplied with a 10mm setscrew, washers and a nut. Thread the
setscrew 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 10mm set screw.

A Safety Chain (Order Code: 20SC) MUST always be used when rigging luminaires on bars, ladders etc.
The Safety Chain is passed through the luminaire anchor point hole located under the handle and
around the bar. Be careful to allow sufficient slack to allow the luminaire to be focused freely.
Safety Chains are available from Selecon or your distributor.

FOCUSING

The variable beam of the 1200 range 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 reference scale is provided
to record focus settings on the 1200 High Performance Fresnel.

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: 20BDSF10).

YOKE PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

The yoke on the 1200 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 lens tube for normal applications. To move the yoke, loosen the
M8 bolts at the bottom pivot point of the yoke on each side of the luminaire. Slide the yoke to the required
position, check the yoke is evenly positioned on each side and tighten the M8 bolts.

PAN AND TILT ADJUSTMENT

To pan your luminaire loosen the nut and adjust, then retighten. To tilt, loosen the locking clamp handle on the
side of the luminaire, tilt and retighten finger tight.

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.

Please note that as the handles on the 1200 range can reach high temperatures depending on the position or
orientation of the luminaire, and that gloves should always be worn when focusing these luminaires.
