Installing or replacing the HPL lamp

A lamp must be installed before you use the ﬁxture.

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 the

above table. Operating HPL lamps above their rated voltage reduces lamp

life and can cause premature lamp failure.

Replace the lamp if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed.

Disconnect power to the Source Four before installing the lamp.

Loosen the knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull the housing

out.

Holding it by the base, remove the HPL lamp from its box.

Note:

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

clean it carefully with rubbing alcohol and a clean lint-free cloth before

operation.

Line up the ﬂat sides of the lamp base with the retention brackets on either side

of the socket as show in

Figure 2

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 the top edges of the

retention brackets).

Caution!

Improperly installed lamps cause premature lamp failure and socket

problems.

Press lamp retaining clip across lamp base to secure.

Reinstall the lamp housing by aligning the bolt hole and tightening the knurled

bolt.

Centering and adjusting the lamp

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

and adjust its ﬁeld (

Figure 3

). The outer knob centers the lamp within the reﬂector.

The inner knob adjusts the lamp's ﬁeld.

Turn on the Source Four and aim it at a ﬂat surface.

Unlock and loosen the outer knob by turning it counterclockwise.

Gently move the outer knob from side to side and up and down until the lamp is

centered within the reﬂector.

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

Finally, turn the inner knob either clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve an

optimum ﬂat ﬁeld.

Focusing the beam

Loosen the beam focus knob located under the barrel as shown in

Figure 4

Slide the lens tube forward or backward to achieve the desired beam edge.

Once the ﬁxture is focused, tighten the beam focus knob.

WARNING!

Let the lamp cool before replacing.

Color frame retaining clip

The color frame holder is equipped with a spring-loaded retaining clip that prevents

color frames and accessories from falling out (

Figure 5

Release the retaining clip by pushing it sideways while gently pulling backwards.

Insert the color frame.

Lock the retaining clip by pushing sideways while gently pushing forward.

Color notes

ETC does not guarantee the performance

of saturated colors with low temperature

ranges. For best results, always use a high

quality and temperature color medium.

ETC's Source Four color extender may help

increase your gel life. Contact ETC or your

dealer for ordering information.

Note:

An optional conical color extender

is available for use with saturated

colors and 750W HPL lamps.

Shaping the beam

You may shape the beam with the shutters, a pattern, an optional drop-in iris, or by

rotating the barrel.

Pattern projection

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

accommodates A-size, B-size and glass pattern holders (

Figure 6

Note:

Because the Source Four aperture is three inches wide, ETC recommends

using A-size patterns for maximum pattern effectiveness.

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

diameter range should be 2.5 to 2.75 inches.

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 (

Figure 7

Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the drop-in iris slot cover. Do

not remove the screws.

Slide the cover completely forward to expose the slot.

Insert the iris or motorized pattern device. For an iris, install the ﬂat side toward

the shutters and make sure that the iris handle extends from the slot.

Slide the slot cover back toward the shutters until it meets the iris handle. Leave

enough space to move the iris handle.

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

WARNING!

Make sure all color frame accessories are locked in

position with the retaining clip before hanging the Source Four.

Rotating the barrel assembly

Loosen the barrel rotation knob directly behind the shutters on the underside of

the reﬂector housing (

Figure 8

Do not

remove the barrel rotation knob.

Rotate the barrel to the desired position (up to 25° in either direction from the

centered position).

Once the barrel is positioned, tighten the barrel's rotation knob to lock it into

position.

Adjusting the C-clamp

The C-clamp attaches the ﬁxture to the mounting pipe and allows you to adjust the

position of the ﬁxture once it is mounted (

Figure 9

Tightly fasten the C-clamp to the yoke with the provided yoke bolt and lock

washer.

Place the C-clamp on mounting pipe, then tighten the pipe bolt to secure it.

Loosen the C-clamp pan screw and rotate the yoke to the desired position.

Tighten the pan screw to lock the ﬁxture into position.

Adjusting the yoke position

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

ﬁxture height and angle.

Setting the ﬁxture height within the yoke

The Source Four has a two-position yoke for modifying the overall height in which

the ﬁxture is mounted (

Figure 10

). To change the height position, do the following:

Remove the yoke locking knobs, washers, and hex bolts from either side of the

ﬁxture.

Raise or lower the ﬁxture to the desired position within the yoke.

Replace the yoke’s hex bolts, washers, and locking knobs.

Tighten the yoke knobs to secure the ﬁxture in position.

Setting the angle within the yoke

Loosen the yoke locking knobs. (

Do not

remove them.)

Cleaning

ETC offers the following recommendations when cleaning and inspecting lenses

and reﬂectors:

Do not

use glass or window type cleaners on lenses (glass or polymer) or

reﬂectors.

Do not

use abrasive materials such as steel wool.

Replace lenses if they contain visible damage (cracks or deep scratches) that may

impair their effectiveness.

Cleaning 19°, 26°, 36°, and 50° glass lenses

Remove the beam focus knob at the bottom of the barrel. Remove the lens tube

from the barrel.

Note:

It is not necessary to remove the lens for cleaning. If you do remove the

19°, 26°, or 50° lens, make sure the identifying paint dot is not removed

during cleaning.

Dampen a clean lint-free cloth with vinegar or household ammonia. You may also

use water, but it will leave spots that can be removed by gently polishing the lens

with a clean and dry cloth.

Starting from the center, gently wipe the lens.

Slide the lens tube back into the barrel with the color frame retaining clip on top.

Replace the beam focus knob.

Cleaning 5° and 10° polymer lenses

To quickly clean the lenses, remove dust with a blast of oil-free air. If this is not

sufﬁcient, follow the instructions below. You will need a Phillips screwdriver.

Caution!

Handle polymer lenses by their edges only. Never rub anything dry on a

polymer lens.

Remove the beam focus knob. Gently pull the lens tube out of the barrel.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the brackets that hold the lens in place.

Remove the lens from the tube.

Dip the lens in a clean alcohol/water mixture (10% alcohol).

Use a moistened nylon bristle brush to wash the lens' smooth side in a linear

(non-circular) motion.

Use the same brush to lightly wash the lens' ridged side by following its ridges.

6. Dip the lens in a clean alcohol/water mixture (10% alcohol).

7. Dry the smooth and ridged surfaces with an air gun. Make sure that the air ﬂow

moves liquid away from you.

8. Inspect the lens for dirt. Repeat steps 3-7 if necessary.

9. Set the lens back in the lens tube with the ridged side facing the front of the

tube. Replace the lens brackets.

10.Slide the lens tube back into the barrel with gel frame retainer on top. Replace

free cloth. If either method is not sufﬁcient, follow the instructions below. You will

need a Phillips screwdriver to complete this procedure.

1. Remove the barrel rotation knob located at the bottom of the barrel. Use a

Phillips screwdriver to remove the retainer bolt located on top of the reﬂector

housing.

2. Rotate the barrel 45° in either direction. Carefully remove the barrel from the

reﬂector housing.

3. Dampen a clean lint-free cloth with alcohol or distilled water. (Alcohol is

recommended.)

4. Gently wipe the reﬂector.

5. Insert the barrel into the reﬂector housing with the iris/pattern slot on top. (Line

up the triangles on both parts.)

6. While pressing in gently, rotate the barrel 45° clockwise until it sets into position.

Then, rotate the barrel counterclockwise 45°. The barrel should be ﬁrmly

attached and the triangles should line up again.
