Overview
The ColorSource Spot V is an affordable LED fixture that uses the RGBIL
(red, green, blue, indigo, and lime) color system to provide a rich, bright
light. The fixture features wireless configuration and control via NFC and
the Set Light app. The ColorSource Spot V also can be purchased with
wireless DMX via Multiverse®.
The ColorSource Spot V is UL924 listed as a Directly Controlled Luminaire
for use in emergency lighting systems when used with the ETC DMX
Emergency Bypass Controller (DEBC).
This light engine can be used with standard ETC shutter barrels, lens
tubes, fresnel adapters, CYC adapters, and accessories.
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13.

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.
AVERTISSEMENT :
•
Risque de lésion oculaire. Ne fixez pas directement la
lumière.
•
Ne pas installer le projecteur sur ou à côté d’une
surface inflammable.
•
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.
WARNING: The ColorSource Spot V is a Directly Controlled
Luminaire suitable for use in emergency lighting
applications in accordance with 2017 National Electrical
Code section 700.24 when used with an ETC DMX
Emergency Bypass Controller. Equipment intended for this
purpose must be properly selected, installed, and
maintained so that facility conformance can be obtained.
Installation and servicing shall be performed by qualified
service personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not use outdoors.
•
Do not let power supply cords touch hot
surfaces.
•
Do not mount near gas or electric
heaters.
•
Equipment should be mounted in
locations and at heights where it will not
readily be subjected to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.
•
The use of accessory
equipment not
recommended by the
manufacturer may cause
an unsafe condition.
•
Do not use this
equipment for other
than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The luminaire must be installed at
least 0.1m (4.0in) away from all
lighted objects.
Le luminaire doit être installé à au
moins 0,1m (4,0po) de tout objet
éclairé.
This product should not be
discarded as unsorted waste but
must be sent to separate collection
facilities for recovery and recycling.
Ce produit ne doit pas être jeté
avec les déchets ménagers mais
doit être déposé dans une collecte
de déchets électroniques ou dans
un point de collecte.

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 V to full illumination.
Installation
Install a Shutter Barrel
Insert and rotate
one eighth turn
The ColorSource Spot V 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 V and rotate it
one eighth turn (45°) counter-clockwise before inserting.
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 V 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
You can attach a ColorSource Relay to the yoke. See etcconnect.com for
more information about ColorSource Relay.
Safety cable
attachment loops
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. Leave as little slack
as possible in the safety cable to
avoid catching the yoke of the fixture.
Connectors
•
Power: Two powerCON®TRUE1®connectors for power in and thru
•
Data (DMX512/RDM): Two five-pin XLR connectors for data in and
thru
Note: The ColorSource Spot V 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).

Troubleshooting
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 locked.
2. To unlock the user interface, press and hold the Up button and Down

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 other
ColorSource Spot V fixtures of the same type.
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.
1. Remove power and DMX In from the 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 shows Udt rdy to indicate the update mode is selected.
4. Press the Mode button to start the update process.
•
The first time that you push an updated software version,
additional required files must be copied before the update can
begin. The display alternates between Udt and c:XX to indicate
the percentage complete while required data is copied.
•
The display alternates between Udt and the percentage complete
while updating the connected fixtures.
•
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
These error codes may display 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. If the error does not clear, contact
ETCTechnical Support (visit etcconnect.com/contactETC).
•
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 Technical Support (visit
