Accessories

You can use several half-meter optional accessories with ColorSource Linear

Pearl fixtures, including:

• Secondary lenses (horizontal, vertical, and round)

• Barn doors (7414K1020)

• Louver (7414K1019)

For information on installing secondary lenses, see

Installing secondary lenses

page 17

Accessories for Linear 2 and Linear 4

For the Linear 2 and Linear 4 fixtures, order one accessory for each 0.5 meter

segment (cell) of the fixture. For example, for a Linear 2 fixture, order two

barn door accessory kits to fit the full length of the fixture.

Spacers for secondary lenses are included with the fixture. Use these spacers

to hold the accessories in position when multiple lenses are used in the

Linear 2 and Linear 4 fixtures. The spacers are positioned between the

0.5 meter lenses.

Contact your local dealer for more information.

Installation

Mounting

The ColorSource Linear Pearl ships with a pair of floor trunnions for

mounting.

You also have the option of using C-clamps with the trunnions to hang the

fixture. Attach the C-clamps to the holes in the trunnion feet (see figure on

page 5

The ColorSource Linear 1 has two additional mounting options. Contact your

local dealer for more information.

• Yoke with C-clamp (7414K1017)

• Double yoke with C-clamp for mounting two fixtures (7414K1018)

Note:

Ensure that the trunnions are installed with the feet

inward so that fixtures can be lined up end-to-end, if

needed.

User interface

The user interface allows you to set the start

address of the fixture, access the stand-alone

presets, set the DMX control mode, and set the

Grouping mode (Linear 2 and Linear 4 fixtures

only).

• After 5 seconds of inactivity when DMX is

present, the display goes dark.

• The DMX address will blink when no DMX

is present and a preset or sequence is not

active. The inactivity time-out is disabled

while in a data loss state.

Mode button

Pressing the Mode button activates the Presets menu; the last active preset

plays automatically. Pressing the Mode button a second time deactivates the

selected preset. The display will revert to show the DMX start address.

• If DMX data is present, the current preset plays in the background and

DMX data continues to take priority.

• If DMX data is lost and a preset is active in the background, the last

selected preset automatically plays.

Setting the DMX address

1: Press any button to wake the display. The display shows the DMX

address.

2: Use the Up and Down buttons to select the DMX address for the

fixture.

You can also use RDM for DMX addressing. See

Using RDM

page 19

Changing the DMX control mode

You can set the DMX control mode for the fixture to one of three available

mode options.

1: Press any button to wake the display. The display shows the DMX

address.

2: Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds. The display shows the

current DMX control mode.

3: Press the Up and Down buttons to change the DMX control mode.

•: Variable color temperature (intensity or color temperature).

This is the default mode.

•: Direct emitter control (intensity, warm white, cool white,

strobe).

•: 1-channel mode controls the intensity of preset 1 (defaults to

3000K White).

4: Press the Mode button to confirm your selection.

The display will automatically return to the DMX address after 10 seconds of

inactivity, and edits to the DMX control mode will not be saved. This cancels

unsaved changes.

ETC Installation Guide

ColorSource Linear Pearl v1.7

ColorSource Linear Pearl v1.7 Page 9 of 20 ETC

Setting the Grouping mode

The ColorSource Linear 2 and the

ColorSource Linear 4 fixtures have

two Grouping modes:

•Group: Entire array functions as

a single fixture.

•Cell: Each 0.5 m segment (or

“cell”) of the array functions as

a distinct fixture with a

separate DMX start address.

To set the Grouping mode, press the

Grouping button until the LED

indicator for the chosen mode

illuminates.

In Cell mode, each cell is assigned a DMX address based on the DMX address

of the fixture (see

Setting the DMX address

page 8

) and the current DMX

control mode (see

Changing the DMX control mode

page 8

). For example,

if you set the DMX address on the fixture to 100, set the DMX mode to

Variable Color Temperature, and set the Grouping mode to Cell, the starting

DMX address of the first cell will be 100 and the starting DMX address of the

second cell will be 102.

DMX control channels

Linear 1 and Linear 2/Linear 4 in Group mode
