WARNING:

Make sure all colour frame accessories are locked in position with the

retaining clip before hanging the Source Four jr / jr Zoom CE.

Note:

The performance of saturated colours may be less than desirable in any theatrical

lighting luminaire. For best results, always use high-quality colour media rated for

high-temperature use.

ETC’s optional Conical Gel Extender, part # 7060A1048, will provide maximum

colour media life. Gel Extenders are not recommended for 70° and 90° lens tubes

due to the extremely wide-angle beam.

A variety of heat shield products is also available from many colour media

manufacturers. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the use of these

products.

Replacing the HPL lamp

A lamp must be installed before you use the luminaire.

Step 1: Disconnect power to the Source Four jr / jr Zoom CE before installing the lamp.

Step 2: Loosen the knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull the housing out.

Step 3: Holding by the base, remove the HPL lamp from its box.

Step 4: Align the flat sides of the lamp base with the retention brackets on either side of the

socket as shown in Figure 3.

Note:

Verify that the HPL lamp you intend to install is suitable for your facility’s voltage;

115-, 120-, 230-, and 240-volt HPL lamps are available. See HPL lamp table, page

4. Operating HPL lamps above their rated voltage reduces lamp life and can cause

premature lamp failure.

WARNING:

Let the lamp cool before replacing.

CAUTION:

Use caution when installing or replacing any lamp.

When installing/replacing lamp, be sure to point the lamp away from your face and

away from others before inserting it firmly into the assembly.

This may prevent injuries if the lamp should break.

Note:

To avoid premature lamp failure, do not touch the lamp glass. If you do, clean it

carefully with isopropyl alcohol and a clean lint-free cloth. Allow to dry before

operation.

Step 5: Push down on the lamp base until the lamp seats firmly. When properly installed, the top

of the lamp’s base will be even with he top edges of the retention brackets.

Step 6: Press lamp retaining clip across lamp base to secure.

Step 7: Reinstall the lamp housing by aligning the bolt hole and tightening the knurled bolt.

Centering lamp and adjusting the field

The two concentric knobs located on the lamp housing allow you to align the lamp and adjust its

field. See Figure 4. The outer knob centers the lamp within the reflector. The inner knob adjusts the

lamp’s field.

Step 1: Turn on the Source Four jr / jr Zoom CE and aim it at a flat surface. Adjust the barrel to

create a hard edge.

Step 2: Unlock and loosen the outer knob by turning it counterclockwise.

Step 3: Gently move the outer knob from side to side and up and down until the lamp is centered

within the reflector.

Step 4: Once the lamp is centered, turn the outer knob clockwise to lock it in place.

Step 5: Finally, turn the inner knob either clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve an optimum

flat field. See Figure 5.

Focusing the beam

On a fixed field angle Source Four jr., with a 26°, 36° or 50° lens, adjust the lens single beam focus

knob to focus the edge of the beam. On a Source Four jr Zoom, adjust the position of both lens

beam focus knobs to set the beam’s spread and to focus the edge of the beam. The Zoom lens

provide a range from 25° to 50°.

Step 1: Loosen the beam focus knob(s) on the underside of the barrel as shown in Figure 6.

Step 2: Slide the lens(es) forward or backward to achieve the desired beam edge.

Step 3: Once the luminaire is focused, tighten the beam focus knob(s).

Shaping the beam

The beam can be shaped using the shutters (see Figure 8), a pattern or an optional drop-in iris.

Pattern Projection

The pattern holder slot is on the top side of the barrel and in front of the shutters. It accommodates

an M-size pattern holder (see Figure 7). The pattern holder handle can be bent away from the

shutter handle to keep it from interfering with the action of the shutter handle.

Use an optional donut in the accessory holder to enhance pattern projection. Donut diameter range

should be 6.35 cm to 6.98 cm (2.5” to 2.75”).

Drop-In Iris Slot

The drop-in iris slot is located on the top of the barrel and in front of the pattern holder slot. It

accommodates either a drop-in iris or a motorized pattern device. When the slot is not in use, a

small sheet metal cover secured with two Phillips screws prevents light leakage (see Figure 8).

Step 1: Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the drop-in iris slot cover. Do not

remove screws.

Step 2: Slide the cover completely forward to expose the slot.

Step 3: Insert the iris with the flat side toward the shutters and make sure the iris handle extends

from the slot.

Step 4: Slide the slot cover back toward the shutters until it meets the iris handle. Leave enough

space to move the iris handle.

Step 5: Secure the drop-in iris slot cover by tightening the screws.

Adjusting the yoke position

The Source Four jr / jr Zoom provides multi-positioning capabilities within its yoke for overall

luminaire height and angle.

Setting the luminaire height within the yoke

The luminaire is equipped with a two-position yoke for modifying the overall height in which the

luminaire is mounted (see Figure 9). To change the height position, perform the following steps.

Step 1: Remove the yoke locking knobs, washers, and hex bolts from either side of the luminaire.

Step 2: Raise or lower the luminaire to the desired position within the yoke.

Step 3: Reinstall the yoke’s hex bolts, washers, and locking knobs.

Step 4: Tighten the yoke knobs to secure in position.

Setting the angle within the yoke

Step 1: Loosen the yoke locking knobs (see Figure 10). Do not remove them.

Step 2: Tilt the luminaire to the desired position.

Step 3: Tighten the yoke locking knobs to secure in position.
