Sensor dimmer settings
The Source 4WRD fixture can be controlled from either a DMX source or from
an existing dimmer for level control.
When powering a fixture with a CEM classic, CEM+, or CEM3 for DMX
dimming or AC level setting, set the parameters as shown below to ensure
that the dimmer is out of regulated mode.
The following tables apply to ETC Sensor®control modules including CEM,
CEM+, and CEM3.
Note:
You may need to adjust dimmer settings for optimal
fixture control.
Note:
In CEM+, set Max Scale to 140V to guarantee that
regulation is off.

For the most current information on additional dimmer performance testing
for both ETC and non-ETC dimmers, please visit the ETC website:
etcconnect.com/Support/Articles/Dimmer-Settings-for-Use-with-Source-4wrd.aspx
Color rendering and quality
Source 4WRD fixtures are evaluated for Color Rendering Index (CRI) and Color
Quality Scale (CQS) performance using measured output spectrum. These
numbers may fluctuate slightly from fixture to fixture. This is a normal
characteristic of white LEDs, and this kind of variation is highly unlikely to be
apparent in most applications.
Note:
With AC dimming (line-dimmed) mode, performance
may vary based on the control settings of the dimmer
used. For this reason, ETC recommends using AC dimming
for level-setting or for architectural quality dimming
situations. ETC recommends testing the Source 4
WRD
fixture on all existing dimmers you wish to use.
Use DMX mode when high-performance, live, dynamic
dimming is required.
