Shaping the Beam

The beam can be shaped using the four shutters or with a pattern.

The Source Four Mini has four shutters:

left, right, top, and bottom. Each shutter

can be pulled out or pushed in to create

the desired beam shape.

Color Frame Holder

Source Four Mini lens tubes ship with a 2 ¾” or 70mm color frame, which is a metal

frame used to hold color media (often referred to as gel) in front of the lens. The

color frame holder is equipped with a retaining clip that prevents the color frame

from falling out during use.

WARNING:

Make sure the color frame is locked in position with the retaining

clip.

1” Diameter

pattern holder slot on the top side of the shutter

barrel, in front of the shutter. It accommodates a E-

size (37.5mm with a 25.4mm image area) pattern

holder.

Use an optional donut in the color frame holder to

enhance pattern projection.

When the slot is not in use, a small sheet metal cover

secured with a Phillips screw prevents light leakage.

Step 1: Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the

screw on the slot cover. Do not remove the

screw.

Step 2: Slide the cover completely forward to

expose the slot.

Step 3: Insert the pattern holder.

Step 4: Slide the slot cover back toward the

shutters until it meets the pattern handle.

Leave enough space to move the handle.

Step 5: Secure the slot cover by tightening the

screw.

Step 1: Release the retaining clip by gently

pushing it up.

Step 2: Insert the color frame.

Step 3: Lock the retaining clip by gently pushing it

down.

Additional accessories are available for the Mini that

also fit into the color frame holder including the top

hat, short top hat, half hat, short half hat, and donut.

When an accessory is used, the color frame should be installed in the rear slot of

the holder.

Low Voltage luminaire.
