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 Pearl to full
illumination.
Install a Shutter Barrel
Small screw (included
with shutter barrel)
Light
engine
The ColorSource Spot Pearl 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 Pearl 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 Pearl 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
Conversion cables are available from ETC. Please contact your ETC customer
service representative and request part number W6538 for RJ45 to female
XLR or part number W6539 for RJ45 to male XLR.
Note: This fixture is not Ethernet/data network compatible.

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.
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.
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.
