Introduction
The Source 4WRD Color is a replacement for a standard Source Four burner
assembly. It converts the HPL source to an RGBA (red, green, blue, and amber)
LED and provides a significant reduction in power consumption. The Source
4WRD Color uses DMX dimming and requires power from a non-dimmable
source. When not using DMX, you can use any of the 12presets or
5sequences on the Source 4WRD Color.

Manual at etcconnect.com, or view online help on your

below 5°C (41°F). When the fixture has been stored or
transported in cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room
temperature for a minimum of 1 hour before applying power.
Applying power to a cold fixture will cause damage to the fixture
and void ETC warranty.
1. Connect one RJ45 data cable for data-in and one for data-thru, as
needed. Use the strain relief at the bottom of the fixture to support the
data cables.
