After zoom is set as desired, hand-tighten the zoom knob. Once beam angel is set, hand-tighten lens zoom knob. Proceed to adjust focus (if required).
Setting Focus
To set the beam focus on zoomable models, loosen, but do not remove, the lens focus knob (refer to Figure 6) and slide lens forwards or backwards until desired focus is achieved. Once focus is set, handtighten lens focus knob.l
Rotating Shutter Assembly (All Models)
If rotating the shutter assembly is required, loosen, but do not remove, shutter rotation lock knob (see Figure 7) on fixture. Using both hands, rotate the shutter assembly (in either direction) until in the desired position. Hand-tighten shutter rotation lock knob.

Shutter Movement
Each PHX LED Luminaire offers four (4) shutter blades that can me moved in or out of the fixture’s light beam. To set the shutters, first set the beam as needed (refer to “Focus Adjustment (Fixed Focus Models)” on page 10 or “Focus and Zoom Adjustment (Zoomable Focus Models)” on page 10 as applicable), disengage the shutter lock, move shutters as desired.

NOTE: On fixed focus units, the shutters can be locked into position by engaging the shutter lock (see Figure 8) on side of the luminaire. Users will know when the shutter lock is engaged when the shutter, when grabbed by the hand, does not easily move.
Accessory Holder
Each PHX Series LED Luminaire is equipped with an end of lens accessory holder to hold the supplied color frame. Please note which model you have. The accessory holder for fixed focus and zoomable models are different and are operated differently
Accessory Holder (Fixed Focus Models)
On fixed focus models, the accessory holder latch is opened by sliding the cover to the side, lift up on the cover, insert accessory, and close the cover. Make sure the retaining cover locks back in place

Accessory Holder (Zoomable Focus Models)
On zoomable focus models, the accessory holder has a small latch that is released by sliding it to the side, lift up on the latch, insert accessory, and close the latch make sure the retaining latch locks back in place.

Drop In Iris Slot (All Models)
Each PHX LED Luminaire’s lens has a large opening for a drop in iris or motorized pattern device / gobo rotator (by others). This slot has a retractable cover in order to prevent light leak when not in use and should be closed as far as possible when in use.

NOTE: PHX fixed model shown. Drop in iris slot same for all models.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the fixture, insert the flat side of the accessory towards the shutters
Gobo / Soft Focus Lens Adapter Slot (All Models)
Each PHX LED Luminaire’s lens has an opening for a gobo holder (templates and gobos by others or for the soft focus lens adapter (supplied with unit).
You must follow the gobo manufacturer’s instructions on how to handle and use a gobo in your fixture. Always place the most reflective side towards the light source.
The unit is also supplied with a soft focus lens. The soft focus lens is a pattern holder with s special lens material that allows the LED fixture to appear like a conventional ellipsoidal. The matte side of the material should face the LED light source – shiny side towards the front of the lens.
Note: PHX fixed focus model shown. Gobo/soft focus lens adapter slot same for all models.

Notes:

• Recommended practice when using metal gobos – depending upon the complexity of the pattern – it may be possible to view an afterimage of the gobo if shutters are used in conjunction with the gobo. If an after image is seen, it is recommended to black out the steel pattern using high temperature black spray paint or request this process from the gobo manufacturer.
• If the image requires extremely sharp-focused edges it is always recommended that a Donut is installed to help with image quality.
  • For fixed focus units 19, 26, 36, and 50 degree models, use part number 4.5-DN
  • For zoomable focus models, use part number 6-DN
  • For 10 degree models, use part number 10-DN
  • For 5 degree models, use part number 12-DN

Yoke Assembly
The PHX LVD Luminaire can have its tilt adjusted via the two lock off handles on each side of the luminaire . Simple loosen (but DO NOT REMOVE) each handle so the unit is able to swing up and down. Set tilt as desired and re-tighten the two lock off handles so the unit does not move from the set position.

Short Yoke Position
The yoke assembly has two sets of mounting holes to decrease the distance of the hanging position. To set the unit to a short yoke position, you will need a 1/4-inch hex head (Allen) wrench (by others).
To reposition the yoke assembly to short yoke position:
Step 1. Place fixture on a flat, sturdy work surface. Remove power from fixture
Step 2. At yoke tilt lock knobs, remove both tilt lock knobs and associated hardware. Set aside for reinstallation.
Step 3. As shown in Figure 13, using a 1/4-inch hex head wrench (by others), remove yoke bolts, cup washers,and pivot covers. Please note order of hardware for reinstallation. Set hardware aside.
Step 4. Position yoke assembly so secondary mounting holes are aligned with fixture yoke mounting position.
Step 5. Reinstall yoke bolts, cup washers, and pivot covers in order removed in Step 3.
Step 6. Reinstall tilt lock knobs and associated hardware in order removed in Step 2. Washer is positioned between handle and yoke assembly.

Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol is good to use on the PHX LVD Series LED Luminaire plastic optics with anti-reflection coatings.
If the lens is still dirty after using isopropyl alcohol, for instance if fingerprints or oil is just redistributed and not cleaned off the optic, then a mild soap and water solution can be used to gently wash the lens. Repeat the cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to eliminate streaks and soap residue.
