Introduction
Use the Source 4WRDLED or Source 4WRD II LED (supplied separately)
with the Source 4WRD PAR or PARNel Fixture Body to create the Source
4WRD PAR or PARNel fixture. The fixture produces about 20% more flux
than a 750W long-life Source Four PAR while consuming less power, and
it can be line-dimmed, DMX-dimmed, or dimmed locally on the fixture.

CAUTION: Do not touch or clean LED optic domes with
anything other than oil-free canned air.
1. Use oil-free canned air to clean the LED domes before you install
the retrofit. Do not touch the LEDdomes.
2. With the fixture resting securely on a flat surface, gently slide the
Source 4WRDLED onto the Source 4WRD PAR or PARNel Fixture
Body and threaded post while guiding the LED tower into the lamp
housing hole, as shown in the images that follow. Take care to
prevent contact between the LEDs and the reflector. For the 230V
(CE) Source 4WRDLED, secure the earth bond wire to the Source
4WRD PAR or PARNel Fixture Body using the provided screw and
washer.

3. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screw located on the
back end of the Source 4WRDLED, directly above the Z-adjustment
knob.
4. Pull gently to verify secure attachment.
5. The Source 4WRD PAR and PARNel optics are optimized for
PEAKfocus. Turn the Z-adjustment knob toward PEAK until the
knob becomes loose, and then tighten the Z-adjustment knob an
additional quarter turn. This sets the LED light source into the
appropriate position within the Source 4WRD PAR or PARNel
fixture.
Note: When used as part of a Source 4WRD retrofit on a Source
Four ellipsoidal fixture, the Z-adjustment knob adjusts the field of
the LED light for specific applications. On the Source 4WRD PAR or
PARNel fixture, however, no additional adjustments are needed
after you loosen the Z-adjustment knob as described above.

1. Tightly fasten the C-clamp to the yoke with the provided yoke bolt
and lock washer.
2. Place the C-clamp on mounting pipe, and then tighten the pipe
bolt to secure it.
3. Loosen the C-clamp pan screw and rotate the yoke to the desired
position.
4. Tighten the pan screw to lock the fixture.
5. Connect the safety cable.
6. Tighten the C-clamp pipe bolt to 15–20 ft-lb (20–27 Nm),
approximately finger tight plus up to one-quarter turn.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 25 ft-lb (33 Nm) while tightening
the C-clamp pipe bolt. Do not use excessive force.
7. Tighten the yoke pivot bolt to 5–10 ft-lb (6–7 Nm), approximately
finger tight plus up to one-eighth turn.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 15 ft-lb (20 Nm) while tightening
the yoke pivot bolt. Do not use excessive force.

Connect Cables
You can control the fixture using AC power or DMX. Configure the fixture
to use the appropriate control method on the user interface. See
Configure the Fixture on page14 .
WARNING: Do not use or store the Source 4WRD fixture
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.
Note: For optimum performance, make sure that your dimmer is
out of regulated mode. See Line-dimming on the next page for
recommended dimmer settings.
Note: Connecting both power and data from a SmartBar 1 to a
Source 4WRD fixture may cause flickering.
1. If you are using DMX control: 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.
•
To order an RJ45-to-female XLR adapter, use ETC part number
W6538.
•
To order an RJ45-to-male XLR adapter, use ETC part number
W6539.
2. If you are using DMXcontrol and this is the last fixture in the line,
terminate the fixture with a 120Ohm resistor. Please contact your
ETC customer service representative to purchase ETC part number
N4086. See Help from ETC Technical Services on page2 .
3. Connect the fixture to the power source.

DMXDimming
When dimming via DMX, consider the following:
•
When using DMX over Cat5, use Cat5e or better.
•
Cable distance must not exceed 300 m (1000 ft).
•
Up to 32 fixtures can be connected together into a daisy chain.
•
The Source 4WRD fixture cannot be controlled via Ethernet
protocols and should not be directly connected to an Ethernet
system.
•
When DMX data is lost, the LEDemitters turn off.
•
The fixture uses a single DMXchannel for intensity control.

Line-dimming
When line-dimming the fixture, set the parameters as shown in the
following tables to ensure that the dimmer is out of regulated mode.
(You may need to adjust dimmer settings for optimal fixture control).
In addition to the recommended settings in the following tables, you may
need to increase the SCR Off Time from the default setting. Contact ETC
for assistance in changing the SCR Off Time, or any other CEM classic,
CEM+, or CEM3 settings. See Help from ETC Technical Services on page2 .

Source 4WRD Installation and User Manual 13
Note: When line-dimming the fixture, performance may vary
based on the control settings of the dimmer. For this reason, ETC
recommends using line-dimming for level-setting or for
architectural dimming. ETC recommends testing the Source 4WRD
fixture on all existing dimmers that you want to use.
Use DMX mode when high-performance, live, dynamic dimming is
required.

Configure the Fixture
The two-button, seven-segment display shows the DMXaddress,
ACmode, or the manually-set level. Use the up and down navigation
buttons to configure the fixture.
•
Set a DMX address: Use the up and down arrows to navigate to the
desired DMX address number (1–512).
•
Set the fixture to use line-dimming (ACmode): Use the down
arrow to navigate one number below DMX address 1. The display
will read AC.
•
Manually set a level: Use the down arrow to navigate one number
below AC. The display will read L.FL (Level = Full). Usethe down
arrow to decrease the level to a percentage of full (L.99 = 99%,
L.98 = 98%, etc.). You can set levels from 0%–100% (full).
