Installation
Mounting
The ColorSource CYC is
designed for floor
mounting. You can also use
the yoke accessory
(included) for top-hang
pipe mounting with a
clamp. Use the included
yoke locking knobs and
washers (see image at right)
to attach the yoke accessory
to the fixture. Tilt the fixture
so that the base of the
fixture is perpendicular to
the cyclorama. See Adjust
the Tilt on page5 .
Safety Cable
The safety cable (or other approved safety device) must be attached to
the fixture when it is mounted using the optional yoke and C-clamp
(see image above).

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.
Note: The ColorSource CYC 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 N4086 (RJ45 terminator) or SGE1507 (XLR
terminator).
Set Up the Fixture
1. Plug the power cord into the powerCON In connector on the rear of
the fixture.
2. Make any power-thru cable connections prior to applying a power
source.
3. Make any DMX connections, and if the fixture is the last in a DMX
line, terminate the fixture. See Connectors above .
4. Position the fixtures appropriately:
•
Setback: Minimum recommended distance from the cyclorama is
2ft (.61m).
•
Spacing: Position the fixtures arrayed with a 1.7-1 spacing for
optimal coverage, with a maximum spacing of 2-1. For example, if
fixtures are 2 ft (.61 m) from the cyclorama, position them a
maximum of 4 ft (1.22 m) apart from each other.
5. Plug the power cord into the power source.
Power Up
Press any button to wake the display. The display shows the DMX
address. See Set the DMXAddress on the facing page .
You can press the Mode button to access the Presets/Sequences menu.
See Play Presets and Sequences on page7 .

Adjust the Tilt
When pipe-mounting the fixture, tilt the fixture so that the base of the
fixture is perpendicular to the cyclorama.
1. Loosen, but do not remove the yoke locking knobs.
2. Tilt the fixture so that the base of the fixture is perpendicular to the
cyclorama.
3. Tighten the yoke locking knobs.

Adjust the Spill Control
Adjust the angle of the spill
control as needed.
Set the DMXAddress
1. Press any button to wake
the display. The display
shows the DMX address.
2. Use the Up and Down
buttons to select the
DMX address for the
fixture.
You can also use RDM for DMX addressing. See RDM Values on
page11 .
Change the DMXControl Mode
You can set the DMX control mode for the fixture to one of four
available mode options.
1. Press any button to wake the display. The display shows the DMX
address.
2. Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds. The display shows
the current DMX control mode.
3. Press the Up button or Down button to change the DMX control
mode.
•
5ch: 5-channel mode (intensity, red, green, blue, and strobe).
This is the default mode.
•
dir: Direct emitter control (intensity, red, green, blue, indigo,
lime, and strobe).
•
1ch: 1-channel mode controls the intensity of preset 1 (defaults
to 3200K White).
•
rgb: RGB mode (red, green, and blue).
4. Press the Mode button to confirm your selection.
The display will automatically return to the DMX address after 10
seconds of inactivity, and edits to the DMX control mode will not be
saved. This cancels unsaved changes.

ColorSource CYC v1.7/v3.1
Note: Direct mode (dir) on the ColorSource CYC is not a
calibrated mode. As a result, you may see discrepancies in color
between fixtures. ETC recommends operating in one of the
calibrated modes, such as 5-channel mode or RGB mode.
(Calibrated modes make accommodations for the specific LEDs
in the array and produce output that is consistent with other
fixtures. Direct mode bypasses this calibration, and multiple
fixtures may produce slightly different outputs when controlled
as a group.)

rate from 1 per second up to 33 per second.
Data Loss Behavior
When DMX data is lost, the fixture does one of the following actions:
•
If you selected a preset or sequence, that preset or sequence
automatically plays.
•
If no preset or sequence is active in the background, the fixture
goes dark and the DMXstart address flashes on the user interface.
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 button simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Play Presets and Sequences
The fixture has twelve factory-configured presets and five factory-
configured sequences. When you play a preset or sequence on a fixture:
•
The same preset number or sequence number plays on any
connected fixtures that are not receiving DMX.
•
If you power down the fixture, the preset or sequence resumes
when you power it on again.
You can re-record presets and sequences through an RDM device or
manually on the fixture. See Re-record Presets on the next page .
1. Press the Mode button to activate the Presets/Sequences menu. The
last active preset or sequence plays automatically. (If DMX data is
present, the current preset or 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 Mode button a
second time. The display will revert to show the DMX start address.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance
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
selected ColorSource fixtures(see table that follows).
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 display alternates between Udt and the percentage complete
while updating.
•
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
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. 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
etcconnect.com/contactETC).
Clean the Fixture
If necessary, clean the mirror and diffusion surface 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 surface.
