Overview

The ColorSource PAR is an affordable LED fixture that uses the RGB-L (red,

green, blue, and lime) color system to provide a rich, bright light.

The ColorSource PAR is available in both original and Deep Blue variants. The

Deep Blue uses an array that offers richer, more saturated blues and stronger

magentas in exchange for the more jewel-toned blues like sky or turquoise.

For more information, see the ETC website at etcconnect.com.

The ColorSource PAR is UL924 listed as a Directly Controlled Luminaire for

use in emergency lighting systems when used with the ETC DMX Emergency

Bypass Controller (DEBC).

Note:

Features described in this document require the latest version

of software. For information on updating fixture software, see Update

the Fixture Software on page11.

Installation

Emergency Lighting Considerations

Luminaires that are used in emergency lighting applications must provide a

minimum illumination level over the identified means of egress path in

accordance with the Life Safety Code®, NFPA 101. A luminaire that is intended

to serve this purpose must be mounted at a height where it will not readily be

subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel and where the minimum

required illumination level over the egress path can be achieved. The ETC

DMX Emergency Bypass Controller that is driving the luminaire upon loss of

utility power must be programmed to drive the ColorSource PAR to full

illumination.

Mounting

The ColorSource PAR ships with a standard yoke for mounting with a clamp.

An expandable floor stand yoke is available as an optional accessory. Contact

your local dealer for more information.

Safety cable

attachment

loop

Safety Cable

A safety cable (or other approved safety device)

must be attached to the fixture. Attachment

loops are on the rear of the fixture. Take care to

leave as little slack as possible in the safety cable

to avoid catching the yoke of the fixture.

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 PAR 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).

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.

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 facing 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.
