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 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.
Rama 150 Fresnel and PC / Rama 175 Fresnel and PC
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 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 10mm set screw.
Rama 150 FFT Fresnel and PC, Rama 175 FFT HP Fresnel and PC
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 FFT pan grip control to facilitate fast adjustment. Insert the hookclamp into the top of the FFT pan grip control, thread the 12mm set screw provided through the hookclamp and into the FFT pan grip control, and lock the hookclamp into place with the guides.
SAFETY CHAIN
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 luminaire 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 focused freely. To replace the safety chain, remove the rear lamphouse moulding, 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 Philips 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
Rama 150 Fresnel and PC, Rama 175 Fresnel and PC
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).
Rama 150 FFT Fresnel and PC, Rama 175 FFT HP Fresnel and PC
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 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.
