Overview
The ColorSource Spot jr provides built-in zoom capability and uses the RGB-L
(red, green, blue, and lime) color system to provide a rich, bright light.
The ColorSource Spot jr 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.
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.

Safety
For professional use only. Read the entire manual before using this
equipment.
WARNING:
•
Risk of eye injury. Do not stare directly into the light.
•
Do not mount the fixture on or near a flammable surface.
•
When the fixture is mounted, the axis between the yoke
attachment points must be parallel to the ground. Mounting
the fixture in a non-parallel orientation risks property
damage or bodily injury.
•
Disconnect the fixture from power and DMX and allow it to
cool before installing accessories or performing any cleaning
and maintenance.

•
Lorsque le luminaire est accroché, l'axe entre les points de
fixation de la lyre doit être parallèle au sol. Le montage du
luminaire dans une orientation non parallèle risque de
causer des dommages matériels ou corporels.
•
Débranchez le projecteur de son alimentation et du DMX et
laissez-le refroidir avant d’installer des accessoires ou
d’effectuer un nettoyage ou un entretien.

Installation
Mounting
The ColorSource Spot jr ships with a standard yoke for mounting with a
clamp. You can adjust the position of the yoke when necessary for low-
clearance mounting. Mount the ColorSourceSpot jr in an orientation where
the knobs are on the bottom. (This ensures that the accessory slot is oriented
correctly, and ensures ease of movement for the Zoom knob and Focus knob.)

Safety cable
attachment loop
Safety Cable
A safety cable (or other approved
safety device) must be attached to the
fixture. The attachment loop is on the
rear of the fixture. 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 for data in and thru
Note: The ColorSource Spot jr 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 SGE1507 (XLR terminator).
Set Up the Fixture
1. Plug the power cord into the powerCON In connector on the rear of the
fixture.
2. Make any power-thru cable connections prior to applying a power
source.
3. Make any DMX connections, and if the fixture is the last in a DMX line,
terminate the fixture. See Connectors above .
4. Plug the power cord into the power source.
Power Up
Press any button to wake the display. The display shows the DMX address.
See Set the DMXAddress on page6 .
You can press the Mode button to access the Presets/Sequences menu. See
Play Presets and Sequences on page8 .

Adjust the Tilt
The fixture can be tilted up and down and rotated (panned) as needed.
1. Loosen, but do not remove the yoke locking knob.
2. Tilt the fixture to the desired angle.
3. Tighten the yoke locking knob.

Adjust the Zoom and Focus the Fixture
Use the Zoom knob to adjust the 25°–50° zoom, and use the Focus knob to
adjust the field. Because the Zoom knob and Focus knob are easiest to adjust
when on the bottom of the fixture, avoid mounting the ColorSourceSpot jr in
an orientation where the knobs are on top.

Accessories
You can use standard accessories, such as a gobo, in the accessory slot(see
image above). You can also attach an accessory holder to the front of the
fixture (order part number 7416K1001). After you attach the accessory holder,
you can use it to secure accessories such as a top hat or half hat. See the
ColorSource Spot jr datasheet at etcconnect.com for accessory information.
You can attach a ColorSource Relay to the yoke. See etcconnect.com for more
information about ColorSource Relay.
Set the DMXAddress
1. Press any button to wake the display. The display shows the DMX
address.
2. Use the Up and Down buttons to select the DMX address for the fixture.

Change the DMXControl Mode
You can set the DMX control mode for the fixture to one of four available
mode options.
1. Press any button to wake the display. The display shows the DMX
address.
2. Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds. The display shows the
current DMX control mode.

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.
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 is

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.

Troubleshooting
Update the Fixture Software
ETC recommends using UpdaterAtor software to manage software updates.
For information on UpdaterAtor, see the UpdaterAtor Software Quick Guide
and the UpdaterAtor Software ReleaseNote , which you can download from
etcconnect.com.
You can push newer software versions from a connected fixture to selected
ColorSource fixtures(see table that follows).
Note: If you have other types of fixtures in your DMX run, you do not
need to disconnect them before pushing the updated fixture
software. The update process will ignore any other fixture types in the
DMXrun.
Note: Not sure what version of fixture software is installed?The
version number appears on the display when the fixture powers up.

4. Press the Mode button to start the update process.
•
The display alternates between Udt and the percentage complete while
updating.
•
The display blinks once to indicate that the update is complete.
5. Reconnect DMX In on the 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.
Error Codes
There are three error codes that may be shown on the user interface.
•
CAL: Screen toggles between CAL and Err to indicate a problem with
the color calibration. The fixture will need to be returned to the ETC
factory; contact your local dealer to set up a repair.
•
OtP: Screen toggles between OtP and Err to indicate that the fixture
has gone into over-temperature protection mode to avoid damaging the
fixture. Once the fixture has self-cooled, the error will automatically clear.
•
No App: Screen toggles between no and APP to indicate that the
upgraded fixtures have a software issue. Reload software to clear the
error. If the error persists, contact ETC (visit etcconnect.com/contactETC).
