Luminaire Wiring
Luminaire power and data in and out cables terminate to RJ45 connectors.
Please note the following requirements for wiring:
• Use 0.25 mm2(23 AWG) or larger gauge conductors in Category-type
cable terminated to the T568B standard. Not all Cat5 or Cat6 cables
meet this gauge requirement.
• You can connect up to four luminaires along one run of cable when
using RJ45 output from a compatible output card or driver. The total
cable distance for each wiring run should not exceed 100 m (328 ft).
See the F-Drive R12 and W1 Wiring Reference Guide for more details.

Select the Driver
CAUTION: F-Drive channels are not configured to the
proper current for this luminaire by default. You must con-
figure the channel on the driver to 350 mA. Connecting the
luminaire to a channel that is configured for more than 350
mA will shorten the life of the luminaire LEDs and may void
the luminaire warranty.
This release of the Source Four Mini LED luminaire is compatible with the
R12 CC-150 output card or the W1 CC driver. Set the output channel for
the luminaire to 350 mA.

Use of Third-Party Drivers with Daisy-Chained
Luminaires
Source Four Mini LED luminaires can be controlled by third-party Class 2 or
Low Voltage Limited Energy (LVLE) drivers that provide a maximum of
48VDC. To daisy-chain luminaires and still have independent channel func-
tionality, you must wire the first luminaire in the chain as described below.
(The RJ45 outputs on F-Drive natively support this wiring configuration.)
Configure the third-party drivers to a maximum of 350 mA.

position-pairings shown.
3. Place the copper safety braid loop over the third mounting plate bolt,
and then attach the mounting plate bolt to the back box to help
secure the fixture during installation.
4. Connect a power and data in cable from the driver or ETC breakout
box to the "IN" port on the luminaire. If you are daisy-chaining
luminaires, be careful to connect the cables to the correct "IN" and
"OUT" ports. (The cable from the "OUT" port on one luminaire
connects to the "IN" port of the next luminaire.) Incorrect
connections will result in improper operation of the luminaires.
5. Use the canopy bolts to secure the luminaire to the mounting plate.
6. Open all four shutter blades by sliding them outward until they stop.
7. Focus the luminaire as needed. See Focus and Setup on page9 .

Connect Portable Luminaire
Note: For the portable luminaire, use an M10 bolt to secure a
clamp (provided separately) to the luminaire.
1. Connect a power and data in cable from the driver or ETC breakout
box to the "IN" port on the luminaire. If you are daisy-chaining
luminaires, be careful to connect the cables to the correct "IN" and
"THRU" ports. (The cable from the "THRU" port on one luminaire
connects to the "IN" port of the next luminaire.) Incorrect
connections will result in improper operation of the luminaires.
2. Open all four shutter blades by sliding them outward until they stop.
3. Focus the luminaire as needed. See Focus and Setup on the facing
page .
Power Up Procedure
1. Verify that each luminaire is connected to a Constant Current
(CC)driver or output card before you power up the luminaires. See
the installation manual for your F-Drive for more compatibility
information.
2. Use Concert to verify that each CC channel is set to output 350 mA.
3. Refer to the installation manual for your F-Drive for information about
the power up procedure for the driver.
Identify
You can send an identify command to individual channels of an R12 output
card or W1 driver using ETC Concert or a third-party RDM controller. Lumin-
aires connected to an F-Drive will respond to an RDMidentify command by
blinking on and off:500 ms on, 500 ms off, until the identify command is
ended. See the F-Drive Device Package Help in Concert or the installation
manual for your F-Drive for information about this RDM command.

Shape the Beam
You can shape the beam using the four shutters or with a pattern.
Shape the Beam with
Shutters
The luminaire has four shutters: left,
right, top, and bottom. Each shutter can
be pulled out or pushed in to create the
desired beam shape.

10 Source Four Mini LED (F-Drive) User Manual
Shape the Beam with a Pattern
25.4 mm
(1 in)
Diameter
The luminaire has a pattern-holder slot on the top side of
the shutter barrel, in front of the shutter. It accommodates
a glass or stainless steel E-size (37.5mm with a 25.4mm
image area) pattern. The maximum pattern thickness that
can be accommodated is 1.1mm (0.04in).
Use an optional donut in the color frame holder to enhance
pattern projection.
When the slot is not in use, a small sheet metal cover
secured with a Phillips screw prevents light leakage.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw on the slot cover. Do not
remove the screw.
2. Slide the cover knob on the luminaire completely to the side to expose
the slot.
3. Insert the pattern holder.
4. Slide the slot cover back toward the shutters until it meets the pattern
handle. Leave enough space to move the handle.
5. Secure the slot cover by tightening the screw.
Use the Color Frame Holder
The Source Four Mini LED (F-Drive) comes equipped with a color frame
(either 70mm or 2 3/4in), which is a metal frame used to hold color media
(often referred to as gel) in front of the lens. The color frame holder is
equipped with a retaining clip that prevents the color frame from falling
out.
Additional accessories are available that also fit into the color frame holder:
top hat, short top hat, half hat, short half hat, and donut. When you use an
accessory, install the color frame in the rear slot of the holder.
WARNING: Check that the accessory holder is locked before
mounting the luminaire.
AVERTISSEMENT : Vérifiez que le porte-accessoires est ver-
rouillé avant de monter le projecteur.
Note: The color frame should be inserted with the open side down.

Cleaning
WARNING: Do not use ammonia-based cleaners 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 lens surface. Do not immerse or soak the lens in any
cleaning solution.
1. Remove the beam focus knob from the shutter barrel.
2. Remove the lens tube from the shutter barrel.
3. Remove dust with a blast of oil-free air or wipe with a clean, lint-free
cloth.
4. Slide the lens tube back into the shutter barrel with the color frame
retainer clip on the top.
5. Reinstall the beam focus knob.
