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.
The Source 4WRD Color can also be used with the Source 4WRD PAR or
PARNel Fixture Body to create a Source 4WRD Color PAR or PARNel
fixture. For best results, we recommend that you use the included
diffusion on the Source 4WRD PAR or PARNel Fixture Body when paired
with the Source 4WRD Color. For more information, see the Source 4WRD
Color PAR and PARNel datasheet at etcconnect.com.

Note: The Source 4WRD Color retrofit kit is not compatible with
Source Four LED, Fresnel, PAR, PARNel, or jr fixtures.

•
When using DMX over Cat5, use Cat5e or better.
•
Cable distance for full DMX daisy chain must not exceed 300m
(1000ft).
•
Up to 32 fixtures can be connected together into a daisy chain.
•
The fixture cannot be controlled via Ethernet protocols and should
not be directly connected to an Ethernet system.

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 Up button and

Focus the Fixture
Set the Z-adjustment
Use the Z-adjustment knob located on the rear of the fixture to adjust the
field of the LED light for specific applications.
1. Turn on the fixture and aim it at a flat surface.
2. Slide the fixture barrel toward or away from the Source 4WRD
Color to create a hard-edged beam of light.
3. Turn the knob toward PEAK or FLAT until you achieve the desired
field.

Shape the Beam
You can shape the beam by using the shutters, a pattern, an optional
drop-in iris, and by rotating the barrel.
Use the Accessory Holder
The accessory holder is equipped with a spring-loaded retaining clip that
prevents color frames and accessories from falling out.
WARNING: Make sure all color frame accessories are locked
in position with the retaining clip before hanging the fixture.
AVERTISSEMENT : S’assurer que tous les porte-filtres sont
verrouillés en place à l’aide du verrouillage de la cassette
avant de suspendre le projecteur.
Retaining
clip
1. Release the retaining clip by pushing it
sideways while gently pulling backwards.
2. Insert the color frame or accessory.
3. Lock the retaining clip by pushing
sideways while gently pushing forward.
Use a Pattern
The pattern holder slot is on the top side of the barrel and in front of the
shutters. It accommodates A-size, B-size, and glass pattern holders.
Because the Source 4WRD Color fixture aperture is 3 inches wide, ETC
recommends A-size patterns for maximum effectiveness.
