7413M2100-1.7 Rev C Released 2020-03

Overview

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

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

Bypass Controller (DEBC).

This light engine can be used with standard ETC shutter barrels, lens tubes,

fresnel adapters, CYC adapters, and accessories.

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10.

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 Spot to full

illumination.

Install a Shutter Barrel

Small screw (included

with shutter barrel)

Light

engine

The ColorSource Spot can be

purchased with or without a shutter

barrel. To install a shutter barrel you

will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver

(not provided).

The ColorSource light engine

includes a barrel screw. The small

screw used to secure the top of the

shutter barrel is included with the

shutter barrel.

1. Align the barrel to the front of the ColorSource Spot and rotate it one

quarter turn counter-clockwise.

2. Insert the shutter barrel into the front of the light engine and rotate

clockwise until it is fully threaded onto the light engine.

3. Insert the barrel screw at the bottom of the light engine and tighten.

4. Insert the small screw into the top of the light engine and tighten

using the Phillips screwdriver.

Mounting

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

You can adjust the position of the yoke when necessary for low-clearance

mounting.

Standard yoke position Low-clearance yoke position

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

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. 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.

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

Update the Fixture Software

ETC recommends using UpdaterAtor software to manage software updates.

For more information on UpdaterAtor, see the

UpdaterAtor Software Quick

Guide

, which you can download for free from etcconnect.com.

When you add a ColorSource fixture running a newer software version or

update a ColorSource fixture to a newer software version using UpdaterAtor,

you can use that fixture to push the newer software version to all connected

ColorSource fixtures, except for ColorSource Spotjr fixtures. ColorSource

Spotjr fixtures can only update (and be updated by)other ColorSource Spotjr

fixtures.

You can push newer software versions from a connected fixture only on

ColorSource fixtures running software v1.3.0 or newer. Use UpdaterAtor to

update individual fixtures running versions older than v1.3.0.

1. Remove power and DMX In from the master 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 will show Udt rdy to indicate the update mode is

selected.

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

•

The display will alternate between Udt and the percentage

complete while updating.

•

The master fixture will reboot once the update is complete.

5. Reconnect DMX In on the master 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.
