Setting the Beam Angle

This section explains how to set the fixture’s beam angle. (It also
shows how to install the optional 8 to 12 degree narrow angle lens set.)
You can change the beam angle, for example, if you are having trouble
focusing precisely on a very detailed image.

Selecting a larger beam angle results in a larger-diameter image, but
can also result in some loss of image resolution and light intensity.

Note

All beam angles are accurate to ±1°.

1.

Unplug the fixture and remove the access door shown in Figure 1-3 on
page 1-11
if you have not done so already.

2.

Lay the fixture on its back and locate the lens tube as shown in Figure
1-6
.

3.

The lens tube cover has two latches on each side that secure it in place;
see Figure 1-7. Squeeze the latches together to remove the lens tube
cover.
