yoke holes. Suspend the fixture from a hook clamp or a stand mount, using a securely tightened steel bolt (up to Ø
12 mm), flat washer and locking washer.
• In addition to primary suspension, attach a safety cable (Model 400SC) or chain to the secondary suspension
point on the Source Four MultiPAR CE.
• If the external cable is damaged, it shall be replaced by ETC or our service agents.
• Always hang the Source Four MultiPAR CE with the colour frame held securely behind the MultiPAR retaining
channel.
• Always replace the lamp if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed.
• Lighted objects at this distance or greater will not exceed 90ºC temperature from projected light.
• Disconnect the unit from power before all cleaning and maintenance.
• The Source Four MultiPAR CE is suitable for indoor use with a maximum ambient temperature: Ta=45°C

• A multilingual label sheet is included with this manual. Affix the label of the appropriate language over the existing
warning label on the extension yoke. Do not cover ETC trademark or CE mark.
• The Source Four MultiPAR CE contains a CE safety screen that covers the lens in the event of accidental dis-
charge. Do not remove the safety screen.
• Keep the luminaire at least 0.7 meters away from anything it is shining on.
Wiring and power information
A plug of at least 2.5 amp (220/240V) rating should be attached to the fixture’s mains lead. The wires in the mains
lead are 1.5mm2each and coloured in accordance with the following code:
WARNING: The CE Source Four MultiPAR must be earthed.
Power requirements

Installing the HPL lamp
Always replace the lamp if it becomes damaged or deformed. Use care installing the lamp. Improperly installed
lamps will cause premature lamp and socket failures.
1. Disconnect power before installing the lamp.
2. Let the lamp cool before replacing.
3. Loosen the captured screw on the back of the raceway and open the raceway lid.
4. The raceway lid is designed to remain open using gravity. If lid swings shut, reposition the MultiPAR unit using
the hanging irons or trunnions to lock the unit in position.
5. Remove lamp socket by loosening the gnurled knob and removing the socket assembly. Remove the HPL
lamp from its box, holding it by the base.
6. Insert lamp base into pin holes in socket assembly.
7. Push down on the lamp base until the lamp is firmly inserted. Make sure that the lamp is fully seated, with the
bottom of the lamp heat sink flush to the socket assembly surface.
8. To reinstall the socket assembly, insert until the heat sink base rests flush against the reflector, then tighten the
knurled bolt to secure the socket assembly in place. See (Figure 1)
Note: To avoid premature lamp failure, do not touch the lamp glass with your fingers. If you touch the
lamp during installation, clean it carefully with rubbing alcohol and a clean, lint-free cloth before
operation.

Installing a lens
Never operate the Source Four MultiPAR CE without a lens in place.
Change lenses if they become cracked or badly scratched
1. Position the fixture with the front of the unit (the lens side) facing you, and tilted up slightly (Figure 3).
2. Hold the lens by the edge, and position it so the convex side faces the back of the fixture (Figure 4). Installing
the lens with the convex side out will not impair the optics, but it will make removing the lens more difficult.
3. From the top of the fixture, slide the lens behind one of the lens clips and into the cast metal lens channel.
4. Gently push the top of the lens inward until it snaps behind the other lens clip
Colour frames and accessories
The Source Four MultiPAR CE does not use colour frame clips. However, both sides of the fixtures have a bent
sheet metal retainer to hold the gel frames in place. One side of the fixture has a piece of spring steel that serves
as a gel frame spring. The spring steel pushes the gel frame into the Source Four MultiPAR CE. ETC identifies
the side of the Source Four MultiPAR CE that holds the colour frame as the colour frame retaining channel.
Note: Use only colour frames or accessories with 17 cm inside diameter.
1. Insert the colour frame or accessory by pressing it against the spring. (Figure 5)
2. Once the edge of the frame has cleared the retaining channel, allow the edge of the frame to spring into the
channel, thereby securing it.
3. Make certain the color frame is secured in the Source Four MultiPar CE opening by the spring clip before
operating.

Cleaning the reflector
Do not use glass or window cleaners on the reflector. Chemicals in the cleaners will harm the reflective coating.
Do not use paper towels or harsh materials to wipe the reflector. These materials can scratch the surface of the
reflector.
1. Unplug the fixture before attempting to clean the reflector.
2. Remove the lamp before attempting to clean the reflector.
3. Remove the lens so you can access the reflector from the front of the fixture. See Removing a lens on page 6.
4. Remove dust with a blast of oil free air, or wipe with a clean, soft, lint-free cotton cloth. If this is sufficient to
remove dust, go to step 7. Otherwise, continue to step 5.
5. Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cotton cloth with a mild, soapy water solution and gently wipe the reflector.
6. Remove any soapy water residue with a clean, soft, lint-free cotton cloth dampened with water.
7. Reinstall a lens before using the fixture.
Adding hanging brackets and clamps to Source Four MultiPAR CE
Note: The hanging irons attach to the Source Four MultiPAR CE. The clamp is bolted to the other end
of the hanging iron and then secured to the hanging pipe.
1. Loosen and remove the bolt and washer in the end casting.
2. Attach the hanging iron to the Source Four MultiPAR CE with the bolts and washers provided. (Figure 6)Be
certain to attach the longer section of the hanging iron to the MultiPAR and the shorter section to the c-clamp.
3. Make sure the smaller length of the hanging iron is secured over the MultiPAR fixture body when attaching it to
the unit.
4. The clamp attaches the fixture to the mounting pipe.
5. Tightly fasten the clamp to the yoke with the provided yoke bolt and lock washer.
6. Place the clamp on mounting pipe, then tighten the pipe bolt to secure it.
7. Tighten the pan screw to lock the fixture into position.
