Installation

Mounting

The ColorSource CYC is

designed for floor

mounting. You can also use

the yoke accessory

(included) for top-hang

pipe mounting with a

clamp. Use the included

yoke locking knobs and

washers (see image at right)

to attach the yoke accessory

to the fixture. Tilt the fixture

so that the base of the

fixture is perpendicular to

the cyclorama. See

Adjust

the Tilt on page5

Safety Cable

The safety cable (or other approved safety device) must be attached to

the fixture when it is mounted using the optional yoke and C-clamp

(see image above).

ColorSource CYC v1.7/v3.1

Connectors

•

Power: Two powerCON®connectors for power in and thru

•

Data (DMX512/RDM): Two five-pin XLR connectors OR two

RJ45connectors for data in and thru

Conversion cables are available from ETC. Please contact your ETC

customer service representative and request part number W6538 for

RJ45 to female XLR or part number W6539 for RJ45 to male XLR.

Note:

This fixture is not Ethernet/data network compatible.

Note:

The ColorSource CYC is not self terminating. You must

terminate the last fixture in line with a 120 Ohm resistor. To

purchase a terminator, please contact ETC customer service and

request part number N4086 (RJ45 terminator) or SGE1507 (XLR

terminator).

Set Up the Fixture

1. Plug the power cord into the powerCON In connector on the rear of

the fixture.

2. Make any power-thru cable connections prior to applying a power

source.

3. Make any DMX connections, and if the fixture is the last in a DMX

line, terminate the fixture. See

Connectors above

4. Position the fixtures appropriately:

•

Setback: Minimum recommended distance from the cyclorama is

2ft (.61m).

•

Spacing: Position the fixtures arrayed with a 1.7-1 spacing for

optimal coverage, with a maximum spacing of 2-1. For example, if

fixtures are 2 ft (.61 m) from the cyclorama, position them a

maximum of 4 ft (1.22 m) apart from each other.

5. Plug the power cord into the power source.

Power Up

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

address. See

Set the DMXAddress on the facing page

You can press the Mode button to access the Presets/Sequences menu.

See

Play Presets and Sequences on page7

Adjust the Tilt

When pipe-mounting the fixture, tilt the fixture so that the base of the

fixture is perpendicular to the cyclorama.

1. Loosen, but do not remove the yoke locking knobs.

2. Tilt the fixture so that the base of the fixture is perpendicular to the

cyclorama.

3. Tighten the yoke locking knobs.

Spill

Adjust the Spill Control

Adjust the angle of the spill

control as needed.

Set 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

RDM Values on

page11

Change the DMXControl Mode

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

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 button or Down button to change the DMX control

mode.

•

5ch: 5-channel mode (intensity, red, green, blue, and strobe).

This is the default mode.

•

dir: Direct emitter control (intensity, red, green, blue, indigo,

lime, and strobe).

•

1ch: 1-channel mode controls the intensity of preset 1 (defaults

to 3200K White).

•

rgb: RGB mode (red, green, and blue).

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.

ColorSource CYC v1.7/v3.1

Note:

Direct mode (dir) on the ColorSource CYC is not a

calibrated mode. As a result, you may see discrepancies in color

between fixtures. ETC recommends operating in one of the

calibrated modes, such as 5-channel mode or RGB mode.

(Calibrated modes make accommodations for the specific LEDs

in the array and produce output that is consistent with other

fixtures. Direct mode bypasses this calibration, and multiple

fixtures may produce slightly different outputs when controlled

as a group.)

*Use DMX values of 0 or 255 for no strobe. Use values of 1–254 to increase the strobe

rate from 1 per second up to 33 per second.

Data Loss Behavior

When DMX data is lost, the fixture does one of the following actions:

•

If you selected a preset or sequence, that preset or sequence

automatically plays.

•

If no preset or sequence is active in the background, the fixture

goes dark and the DMXstart address flashes on the user interface.

Lock the User Interface

After you have set up the fixture, you can lock the user interface to

prevent additional changes.

1. Press and hold the Up button and Down button simultaneously for

3seconds. The display will show Loc to indicate that the user

interface is locked.

2. To unlock the user interface, press and hold the Up button and

Down button simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Play Presets and Sequences

The fixture has twelve factory-configured presets and five factory-

configured sequences. When you play a preset or sequence on a fixture:

•

The same preset number or sequence number plays on any

connected fixtures that are not receiving DMX.

•

If you power down the fixture, the preset or sequence resumes

when you power it on again.

You can re-record presets and sequences through an RDM device or

manually on the fixture. See

Re-record Presets on the next page

1. Press the Mode button to activate the Presets/Sequences menu. The

last active preset or sequence plays automatically. (If DMX data is

present, the current preset or sequence plays in the background

and DMX data continues to take priority.)

2. Press the Up button or Down button as needed to scroll through

the available presets and sequences.

3. To stop the selected preset or sequence, press the Mode button a

second time. The display will revert to show the DMX start address.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Update the Fixture Software

ETC recommends using UpdaterAtor software to manage software

updates. For information on UpdaterAtor, see the

UpdaterAtor

Software Quick Guide

and the

UpdaterAtor Software ReleaseNote

which you can download from etcconnect.com.

You can push newer software versions from a connected fixture to

selected ColorSource fixtures(see table that follows).

Note:

If you have other types of fixtures in your DMX run, you

do not need to disconnect them before pushing the updated

fixture software. The update process will ignore any other fixture

types in the DMXrun.

Note:

Not sure what version of fixture software is

installed?The version number appears on the display when the

fixture powers up.

1. Remove power and DMX In from the fixture that is running the

software version that you want to push to other fixtures.

2. Press and hold the Up button and Down button simultaneously

while restoring power.

3. The display shows Udt rdy to indicate the update mode is

selected.

ColorSource CYC Page 9 of 12 ETC

ETC Installation Guide

ColorSource CYC v1.7/v3.1

4. Press the Mode button to start the update process.

•

The display alternates between Udt and the percentage complete

while updating.

•

The display blinks once to indicate that the update is complete.

5. Reconnect DMX In on the fixture.

Restore Factory Defaults

Press and hold the Mode button, Up button, and Down button

simultaneously for 5 seconds. The DMX start address will blink once to

confirm that defaults have been restored.

Error Codes

There are three error codes that may be shown on the user interface.

•

CAL: Screen toggles between CAL and Err to indicate a problem

with the color calibration. The fixture will need to be returned to

the ETC factory; contact your local dealer to set up a repair.

•

OtP: Screen toggles between OtP and Err to indicate that the

fixture has gone into over-temperature protection mode to avoid

damaging the fixture. Once the fixture has self-cooled, the error

will automatically clear. If the error does not clear, contact

ETCTechnical Support (visit etcconnect.com/contactETC).

•

No App: Screen toggles between no and APP to indicate that the

upgraded fixtures have a software issue. Reload software to clear

the error. If the error persists, contact ETC Technical Support (visit

etcconnect.com/contactETC).

Clean the Fixture

If necessary, clean the mirror and diffusion surface with a blast of oil-

free air or wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth. Isopropyl alcohol, distilled

water, or a 50%-50% mixture of each can be used to clean the surface.

Specifications and Reference

For current and complete compliance and specifications, see the

ColorSource CYC datasheet at etcconnect.com.
