LAMPING YOUR LUMINAIRE
Before lamping – DISCONNECT THE LUMINAIRE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY. Be aware also that the
lamp, luminaire or integrated safety bond may still be hot, so exercise the necessary caution to avoid
burns. These luminaires are not suitable for mounting on a normally flammable surface.
The Philips Selecon Rama range comprises four models: the High Performance
175 Fresnel, High Performance 175 PC, 150 Fresnel and 150 PC. The Philips
Selecon Rama range is designed for use with either the T/29 1200W or T/19 1000W
lamp.
Philips Selecon Rama Fresnel and PC with GX9.5 Lampbase
To facilitate the use of these two lamps which are of different sizes the height of the
GX9.5 lamp base plate is adjustable. The adjustment is by means of positioning 2
lamp base spacers under the lamp base. Without the spacers, the lamp base is
aligned for use with the T/29 1200W lamp.
With the spacers, the lamp base is aligned for use with the 1000W lamp. To make
the adjustment, loosen the two lamp base fastening screws with a screwdriver, and
lift the lamp base up. Slide the two lamp base spacers into place around the lamp base screws, and tighten the
screws. Lamps able to be used in the Rama GX9.5 version are: 1200W – T/29: 1000W – T/11, T/19, CP24,
CP70.
Philips Selecon Rama Fresnel and PC with G22 Lampbase
It is not necessary to adjust the lamp base height with the G22 version of the Rama range. Lamps able to be
used in the Rama G22 version are: CP71 – 1000W. To fit the lamp:
Release the clip fastener and swing down the rear door.

YOKE PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
The yoke on the Rama 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 bolt, and the tilt locking clamp. To return the yoke to its original balance point,
align the yoke to the balance point marked on the focus reference scale.
PAN AND TILT ADJUSTMENT
Rama 150 Fresnel and PC, Rama 175 Fresnel and PC
To pan your luminaire loosen the yoke nut and bolt holding the hookclamp onto the yoke and adjust the yoke as
required, then retighten the yoke nut and bolt.
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. To tilt your luminaire, turn the tilt lock knob
clockwise, tilt the luminaire to the position required, and then turn the tilt lock knob anticlockwise. A tilt angle
reference scale is provided on the locking clamp disc to prefocus the luminaire if desired.
Please note that as the handles and integrated safety bond on the Rama range can reach high temperatures
depending on the position or orientation of the luminaire, and that gloves should always be worn when focusing.
Rama 150 FFT Fresnel and PC, Rama 175 FFT HP Fresnel and PC
The Rama is suppled with an FFT pan assembly on the yoke to facilitate fast adjustment. To pan your luminaire
turn the pan locker a ¼ turn clockwise and adjust the yoke as required, then turn the pan locker a ¼ turn
anticlockwise to set the position. A pan angle reference scale is provided on the FFT pan assembly to prefocus
the luminaire if desired.
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. To tilt your luminaire, turn the tilt lock knob
clockwise, tilt the luminaire to the position required, and then turn the tilt lock knob anticlockwise. A tilt angle
reference scale is provided on the locking clamp disc to prefocus the luminaire if desired.
