Installation Clearances C o o l i ng a n d D u t y C y c l e Desire series fixtures are fan cooled and can operate all channels at full power continuously in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F). If ambient conditions exceed 40°C (104°F) or fail to allow sufficient airflow, over a long period of time, the fixtures may shut down and remain off until they return to a safe operating temperature. The fixtures provide two methods to indicate over temperature that can be set up on the Local Settings menu.
Dimensions and Hanging Clearances Use the following dimensions to allow proper clearances around the fixture. Allow additional space for cables. 10.6” 268mm 7.9” 200mm 24.2” 615mm 12.1” 308mm 17.1” 434mm 10.8” 274mm 6.9” 174mm 19.56” 497mm 13.3” 338mm 25.9” 659mm 30.7” 779mm 22.3” 566mm 13.1” 333mm 9.2” 233mm 12.9” 328mm Figure-1.11 Dimensions with typical 19°, 26° or 36° lens tube fully extended. Other lens tubes available, but not shown. 25 Source Four LED Profile v1.4.
Safety Cable A safety cable (or other approved safety device) should be attached to the fixture housing and wrapped around the hanging structure (pipe). An appropriate attachment loop is provided on the protruding tab of the fixture housing. Take care to leave as little slack as possible in the safety cable to avoid the cable catching the yoke of the fixture. Safety cable loop Figure-1.12 Safety Cable Loop on Fixture Housing.
Power and Data Cabling Requi rements Power The Desire series fixture operates on AC power, 100 to 240VAC/50-60Hz. The fixture must be connected to a non-dimmable power source in order to avoid damage to its internal power supply and other electrical components. CAUTION: The fixture must be connected to a non-dimmable power source in order to avoid damage to its internal power supply and other electrical components. Dimming will damage the fixture and void the warranty.
Connections All connections and user controls are located on the back of the fixture. Status indicators Power In DMX In Power Thru DMX Thru Figure-1.13 Power and DMX Connections on Back of Fixture. Connect AC input power and DMX data cables to the appropriate ports. Connect the incoming DMX data cable to the DMX Input connector. If you are daisy-chaining the data to other fixtures or DMX-controlled devices, connect the next DMX cable to the DMX Thru connector.
DMX Profile Addressing Addresses must be set between 1 and 510. Each Source Four LED series fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of DMX line-loading calculations. DMX line-loading practice dictates that no more than 32 devices can be daisy-chained together. Consequently, no combination of Source Four LED series fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX devices should be configured in one DMX line.
Color Mixes The following table shows the color mixes for the fixture. Color 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Lustr+ Red White Amber Green Cyan Blue Indigo Studio HD Red Red Orange Mint Blue Indigo — — HSI (Hue Saturation Intensity) and HSIC (Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Color Temperature (White Point)) The HSI profile uses 4 channels of DMX input, corresponding to 16-bit hue (two channels: coarse and fine), saturation, and intensity.
RGB Effectively addresses all 7 colors via three channels of control. The RGB profile produces medium-quality color crossfades. It makes the Source Four LED series fixtures compatible with conventional RGB console profiles while maintaining enhanced color production from the fixture. Also see Color Matching, page 32.
Plus 7 Plus 7 adds precision color-control channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles. For example, HSI with Plus 7 enabled becomes a 15-channel profile. Placing channel 7 at a value over 51% activates the 15-channel profile within the fixture. The desired color and intensity is achieved by using the HSI or RGB channels as a starting point. Channels 8 to 14 represent the native LED colors of the fixture and allow you to adjust each color up or down in order to fine-tune the overall color output.

Plus Seven (Lustr+ and Studio HD) Plus Seven allows enhanced color-mixing precision when using the RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile as a starting point for color selection. Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8 DMX channels of control at the end of the control channels already in use by the fixture. For example, in the HSIC profile, with Strobe enabled, the fixture uses 6 channels of control. Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8 channels to the fixture, for a total of 14 channels of control.
N O T E : Once any one of the seven individual color channels is altered from its neutral starting position, the settings for the original color point may no longer reflect the actual output of the fixture. When using RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile for color selection, each fixture makes accommodations for the specific LEDs in its array and produces output that is consistent with other fixtures, whether or not they use LEDs from the same production batch.
Boost Boost provides the brightest possible output, with least guarantee of consistency. This is best for applications with low duty cycles, loose brightness requirements, or where ambient temperature is low. Step 1: On the Advanced Menu, scroll to LED Settings. Step 2: Press [Enter]. Step 3: With Output selected, press [Enter] to toggle between the options. Step 4: Press [Up] or [Down] to commit the option.
Linear Intensity Linear has no curve. Brightness levels correlate exactly with the value of the dimming control signal. Moderate lag in response for good dimming smoothness. Linear allows quick jumps in brightness. It is best for studio lighting and applications with static scenes or looks. 0 DMX 255 Quick Intensity Quick uses the standard dimming curve but with no lag or smoothing. All changes are instant and correlated exactly with the control input signal.
Output Freq Output Frequency is the frequency in Hz at which the LED array pulses, or blinks, as a function of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM). The frequency is adjustable in order to avoid visible flicker on video and film. When altering the frequency in order to reduce noticeable flicker on camera, often only a small change is required. The range is 920 to 1500 Hz in increments of 10. The default value is 1200 Hz. For high speed exposure or rolling shutter cameras, use the High 25K mode.
White Point (Lustr+ and Studio HD) White Point controls the appearance (color temperature) of white-light output when saturation is at or near zero. This option is available when using the HSI and RGB profiles. The choices are 2950K, 3200K, 5600K, and 6500K. Step 1: On the LED Settings menu, scroll to White Point. LED Settings Output: Regulated Curve: Standard Output Freq: 1200 Red Shift: Off White Point: 3200K Figure-3.14 Selecting White Point on the LED Settings Menu.
Presets (Lustr+ and Studio HD) A Preset is a single, static look or color mix. The Source Four LED series fixture comes with 24 default configurations. Only one Preset can be active at a time. You can activate any of the Preset color mixes and customize each one. The following table lists the default Preset color mixes.

Finishing the Sequence After each of the steps have been configured, set the End State. End state is what the fixture does once it completes the Sequence. Two end state options are available and both options repeat indefinitely until the Sequence is deactivated. To access the end state options, you must first program an additional and final step within the sequence using Preset 0. Preset 0 marks the end of the Sequence and opens the End State menu line. Preset 0 may only be used once within a Sequence.
Copy to Other Fixtures If other fixtures are connected to the same data chain, you can copy the Sequences settings to the other fixtures. The fixture automatically becomes the Master and controls all the other fixtures (Slaves) in the chain until another fixture has its Preset or Sequence settings selected or activated. For more information, see Master/Slave Operation, page 64. Step 1: On the Sequences screen, scroll to Copy to Other Fixtures.
Slave Any fixture in the data chain that is being controlled by the master fixture. By default, all fixtures are slaves, except the one that had its Preset or Sequence altered most recently. A Slave fixture can only directly imitate the performance of the Master fixture. When operating as a Slave fixture, the fixture displays Slave on its home screen. Diagnostics The Diagnostics menu provides access to detailed information about various aspects of the fixture’s performance.
Network Statistics The Network Statistics screen displays the statistics of the network. The DMX input values dynamically change. This screen is read-only. Step 1: On the Diagnostics screen, scroll to Network Statistics. Step 2: Press [Enter]. When you access the screen, the dynamic values start at 0 and continue to increase.

Chase Chase automatically sequences through each LED color and starts each at 0% intensity and steps up to 100% before moving to the next color. You can set the number of steps per second for sequencing through all LED colors individually. Step 1: On the Test screen, scroll to Action. Step 2: Press [Enter] until the Chase option displays. The fixture begins to sequence through the LEDs. Step 3: Press [Down] to select Chase. Step 4: Press [Enter] to select the values.
R e c a l i b r at e F ix t u r e Service technicians may use this option to calibrate the constant current driver electronics for the LEDs. The calibration process goes through each series of LEDs, starting at 0 intensity and stepping up to 100%. The calibration is automatic and takes a few minutes. During this time, do not exit the screen until it is complete. CAUTION: This calibration process does not measure or recalibrate the light output of the LEDs.

O ve r T e m p You can change how an over-temperature situation is indicated in order to control stray light. Visible (Lustr+ and Studio HD) The fixture produces a low-level, red light from the LED array, displays a warning message on the LCD, turns on the LCD backlight, and turns on the error indicator light.
Copy All Settings When DMX is not applied you can copy all, except DMX address, settings globally to all of the other fixtures in the same data chain in one step. This includes everything from Presets and Sequences to Quick Setups and Advanced options. This feature is not available when DMX is applied to the fixture. Advanced Menu DMX Settings LED Settings Presets and Sequences Diagnostics Local Settings Copy All Settings Figure-3.42 Copy All Settings on the Advanced Menu.
Studio Settings Lustr+ and Studio HD The Studio profile produces only white light that is adjustable in brightness, white point, and tint (green/magenta balance). The Studio profile can be operated in a stand-alone mode from the user interface or can be controlled via DMX.
Studio DMX Control When controlled via DMX, the first three channels adjust the output in the following order. Channel 5 controls strobe. Channel 1 2 3 5 Output Intensity (Brightness) White Point Tint Strobe When adjusting white point via DMX, the full gamut of 2700 to 6500K is available, but common settings of 3200K and 5600K are quickly accessible at the lowest and highest DMX values, respectively. The range of control on channel 2 is distributed as follows.
Daylight and Tungsten The Studio profile allows quick adjustment of Intensity. The Studio profile can be operated in a stand-alone mode from the user interface or can be controlled via DMX. Operation From Home Status Screen (Studio Standalone) When operating without an external control signal, the quality of the white light can be adjusted immediately and directly by pressing the UI buttons on the fixture while on the home screen. In this setup, all the UI buttons change their functions from other setups.
Error Messages When a system error is detected, a message displays on the home screen. The message changes to reflect the specific error type. When multiple errors are detected, each error message cycles, in increasing numerical order on the display for 1 second each. The following table lists the error messages.
Software Updates The software can be updated with UpdatorAtor Software. UpdatorAtor allows you to remotely update the Source Four LED fixture. UpdatorAtor is installed on your computer and connected from the computer to the fixture with a special cable. For more information, contact ETC’s Technical service department. ETC Technical Support Any time, any day–15 minute response time—that’s our service commitment. ETC’s Technical Service is unparalleled in the industry.
Routine Maintenance To ensure optimum performance of your Source Four LED series fixture, you should perform the following inspections and cleaning at least once a year. You may need to inspect or clean the fixture more often, depending on the type and amount of use your fixture experiences during the year. WARNING: Allow fixture to cool down completely prior to cleaning. Disconnect all power and DMX cables prior to cleaning.
I n s p e c t i n g a n d C l e a ni n g t h e E l e c t r o n i c s A can of compressed air or oil-free air from an air compressor set at a low setting can be used to blow through the vent holes and remove dust or other debris from the interior of the fixture. Dust buildup can cause overheating and premature shutdown. Remove the secondary lenses (if used) and clean out any dust and debris.
