Functions
Lamp Installation
Disconnect the unit from power. Open
the lens door by pulling the top of the
door pivot latch towards you. This will
allow the door to swing open, revealing
a lamp carriage assembly with a
lampholder and reflector mounted to
the platform.
To lamp the theatre fixture, Cat.
No. FR2TH, align the flanges of
the prefocus lamp with the
respective indentations of the
prefocus lampholder. Please
note the lamp flanges are
asymmetrical, and the large
lamp flange must align with
large socket indentation. After
alignment, press lamp down by
the ceramic base and twist
clockwise 90° until lamp locks
in position.
To lamp the television fixture,
Cat. No. FR2TV, release the
locking lever of the bipost
socket so the lever is parallel to
the extruded housing. Insert
the bipost lamp into the socket
until the lamp stops, then lock
the lever to the original
position. The socket should
firmly hold the lamp in position.
Be sure that the lever is
completely closed.
Close the lens door until latch engages.
NOTE
Please do not touch the quartz lamp envelope during installation. If this
occurs, clean the lamp with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and lint free,
clean cloth.
These Colortran fresnels are UL listed to 2000 watts. Any usage of higher
wattage lamps is improper usage of the fixture and voids any manufacturing
warranties. Please use only the lamps listed in the charts shown here.
Focusing
The Colortran fresnels have an
extremely wide focusing range, with
spot focus applications to 85' and ten
foot projected diameters at only 8' in
full flood focus. The focus system is
simple to operate and maintain.
The focusing is controlled on the right
side of the fixture, simply turn the
handle clockwise for flood focus and
counter clockwise for spot focus.
Beam Control
The fresnel spotlight is a soft focusing projector that may be framed to
reduce flare or direct the light through Colortran barndoors and top hats.
The beam may be further softened through wire scrims or filters. Color
temperature may be shifted with Colortran dichroic glass filters, or normal
color medium.
The Colortran fresnels accept industry standard 10" x 10" accesories,
allowing the fixtures to accept automated color changers, liquid crystal
strobe effects and many other items.
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.

Maintenance
Reflector
The reflector may be accessed by
opening the lens door. Remove lamp
to access reflector surface for
cleaning. The Alzak
®
finish requires
little maintenance, occasionally wipe
with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and a
lint free cloth. Strong alcohol or acidic
cleaners MUST NOT be used.
Lens
The lens will become dirty due to
environmental conditions. To
clean, use a lint-free cloth and
rubbing alcohol. Do not use
commercial lens cleaners. If
significant dirt and grime exist,
remove the lens from the fixture
and place lens in clean water
WITHOUT SOAP. Rinse grime
away, clean the reflector with
alcohol.
Focus System
The rack and pinion focus system can
lose tension over long periods of time
by expansion and contraction of the
fixture housing and components, or
the gear itself could move causing
improper fitting against the cast rack.
Both items are easily resolved.
The tension is adjusted by turning the
center screw within the focus handle
while the fixture is aimed 90 degrees
down, so the full weight of the
lampholder assembly bears on the
focus gear. Tighten the screw until the
assembly does not move. Do not over
tighten.
The focus gear should interface
smoothly with the rack on the focus
platform. To adjust, aim fixture to a
horizontal axis or place unit on a table.
Remove the focus handle. Loosen but do
not remove the screws on each side of
the focus gear. Reach inside the fixture
and move the socket assembly manually.
Adjust the focus gear so the assembly is
halfway between maximum possible
engagement into the rack and the point
where gears will slip. Tighten the two
screws when focus gear reaches that
point.
The focus assembly will grind against the rack if engaged too deeply, and
gears will slip if adjustment is too high.
