Step 1: Release the retaining clip by pushing it sideways while gently pulling backwards.
Step 2: Insert the color frame.
CAUTION:
Do not use lamps other than the HPL in Source Four fixtures. Use of lamps other

Step 3: Lock the retaining clip by pushing sideways while gently pushing forward.
Replacing the HPL lamp
A lamp must be installed before you use the fixture.
Step 1: Disconnect power to the fixture before installing the lamp.
Step 2: Loosen the knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull the housing out.
Step 3: Holding by the base, remove the HPL lamp from its box.
Note:
Use only color frames or accessories with 7.5 inch mounting flange.
Note:
The performance of saturated colors may be less than desirable in any theatrical
lighting fixture, especially when equipped with a 750w lamp. For best results,
always use high-quality color media rated for high-temperature use.
ETC’s optional Gel Extender, part # PSF1029, will provide maximum color media
life. The use of any gel extender accessory may limit the coverage of any wide-
angle lens or beam setting.
A variety of heat shield products is also available from many color media
manufacturers. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the use of these
products.
Note:
Verify that the HPL lamp you intend to install is suitable for your facility’s voltage;
115-, 120-, 230-, and 240-volt HPL lamps are available.
See HPL lamp table, page 2. Operating HPL lamps above their rated voltage
reduces lamp life and can cause premature lamp failure.
WARNING:
Unplug the fixture and allow it to cool down before attempting to change the
lamp.
CAUTION:
Use caution when installing or replacing any lamp.
When installing/replacing lamp, be sure to point the lamp away from your face and
away from others before inserting it firmly into the assembly.
This may prevent injuries if the lamp should break.

Step 4: Align the flat sides of the lamp base with the retention brackets on either side of the
socket as shown in Figure 3.
Step 5: Push down on the lamp base until the lamp seats firmly. When properly installed, the top
of the lamp’s base will be even with the top edges of the retention brackets.
Step 6: Press lamp retaining clip across lamp base to secure.
Step 7: Reinstall the lamp housing by aligning the bolt hole and tightening the knurled bolt.
Focus knob positioning
To adjust focus knob tension, loosen or tighten the focus knob screw. See Figure 4.
Lens identification
Lenses for the Source Four PARNel come in two versions. The wave/clear lens is in a fixed position
in the rear of the fixture. The wave/stippled lens is in the rotating ring at the front of the fixture. The
wave surfaces face each other.
Note:
To avoid premature lamp failure, do not touch the lamp glass. If you do, clean it
carefully with isopropyl alcohol and a clean lint-free cloth. Allow to dry before
operation.
CAUTION:
Improperly installed lamps cause premature lamp failure and socket problems.
CAUTION:
Lens rotation knob does not rotate 360°. Do not attempt to exceed limit.

Changing front lens
Replace lens if it becomes cracked or badly scratched.
Removing a wave/stippled front lens
Step 1: Place the fixture on a flat, stable work surface. Do Not remove or install lenses with fixture
hanging.
Step 2: Rotate the focus knob to the full spot position.
Step 3: Tilt the front of the fixture down at least 45°. See Figure 6.
Step 4: Press the spring clip with your finger to release the lens.
Step 5: Allow the lens to drop forward from under the clip.
Step 6: When the lens drops, remove your finger, allowing the lens to slide forward until it rests
on the lens catchers. See Figure 7.
Step 7: Carefully remove the lens.
Installing a wave/stippled front lens
Step 1: Position the fixture with the front of the unit (lens side) facing you, and tilted slightly
upward. See Figure 8.
Step 2: Rotate the focus knob to the full spot position.
Step 3: Hold the lens by the edge and position it so the convex side faces the rear of the fixture.
Step 4: From the top of the fixture, slide the lens behind the lens catchers and position it behind
the tabs on the bottom of the lens rotator ring.
Step 5: Gently push the top of the lens inward until it snaps behind the spring clip.
CAUTION:
Never operate the fixture without a lens in place.
WARNING:
Unplug the fixture and allow it to cool down before attempting to change a
lens.
Note:
Installing the front lens with the contoured side out will not impair the optics, but it
will make removing the lens difficult.

Positioning the wave/stippled front lens.
Step 1: There are seven notches cut into the stippled side of the lens. Position the lens
so the cluster of three notches is on top. The center notch of the cluster aligns
with the spring clip on the lens retainer ring. See Figure 9.
Step 2: The bottom of the lens has a cluster of four notches. Place the two center notches
behind the tabs at the bottom of the lens rotator ring.
Cleaning glass lens
Replace lenses if they contain visible damage (cracks or deep scratches) that may impair their
effectiveness.
Remove dust with a blast of oil-free air or wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth. Isopropyl alcohol, distilled
water or a 50%-50% mixture of each can be used to clean the glass surface.
Cleaning the reflector
The reflector is located behind the rear, fixed position wave/clear lens and requires disassembly of
the fixture to access it. See the Source Four ParNel Assembly Guide for instructions on fixture
disassembly/assembly.
WARNING:
Do not use ammonia-based or other harsh commercial cleaners. Clean lens
only as directed.
Commercially available glass cleaning agents should be avoided as they
may contain ammonia, other harsh chemical detergents or abrasive agents.
These cleaners may damage the glass surface and the Anti-Reflective
coatings. Do not immerse or soak the glass in any cleaning solution.
