ECO Spot™ 2500 User Manual
Thank you for choosing an ECO Spot™ 2500 Profile Spot. The
projector part is based on a modified ETC Source Four® and
most of the available standard Source Four equipment, such as
rotators, changers, etc. can be utilized. 575W Discharge lamp
technology paired with an ultra-efficient optical system makes
it brighter, more versatile and compact than any classic 2500W
gobo projector. Please read this manual before installing or
operating it. Follow the safety precautions listed below and observe all warnings.
This document covers the special functionality of the ES-2500, for general/detailed
info on other functions, please refer to the ETC Source Four User manual.
DO NOT OPERATE THE LAMP HEAD WITH THE LAMP EXPOSED. EVEN SHORT AND
INDIRECT EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS EYE AND SKIN INJURY.
Package Contents
 Projector housing based on a modified Source Four fixture.
 Electronic ballast system with lamp head and power cord.
 Optional accessories depending on product configuration

Setup
If not already mounted, attach the mounting plate for the lamp head to the rear of
the projector with a single screw that comers with the plate.
Attach the Ballast housing to the outside of the projector yoke on the opposite side
of the yoke clutch with two screws. If the projector is equipped with two clutches
(one on each side), then either remove on clutch or the ballast housing cannot be
mounted to the yoke with this method. In this case it can simply be hung to the
yoke or placed next to the projector with the metal bar that is provided.
The cable between projector and ballast is fixed and cannot be extended as this
would cause erratic operation.
Place the light bulb into the lamp head.
DO NOT OPERATE THE LAMP HEAD WITH THE LAMP EXPOSED. EVEN SHORT AND
INDIRECT EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS EYE INJURY.
Attach the lamp head to the mounting plate of the projector housing with four
screws that are already screwed into the mounting plate.
Power up the projector by pressing the switch next to the power cable of the ballast
housing.
Focus the light by moving the lens barrel back and forth.
Follow the standard ETC Source Four Operating Manual for regular procedures.
Adjust the lamp position if necessary, see “Lamp Adjustment”.
Use only a power source that complies with local building and electrical codes and
has both, overload and ground-fault protection.
Do not use the fixture if the power cable or power plug is in any way damaged,
defective or wet, or if they show signs of overheating.
When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can hold
at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.
Verify that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened and use
approved means of secondary attachment such as a safety cabl

Controls
Power on/off. The power switch sits next to the Power Cable. Once powered on,
the lamp needs a few minutes to reach full brightness, repeatedly turning the
projector on/off during this period will reduce the bulb life.
Discharge Lamp / Re-Start
Dimmer switch. The dimmer switch next to the Lamp Cable will only operate after
the light bulb reaches full brightness. Switch it to the ON position to reduce the
brightness to approx. 50%
An optional DMX module is available for controlling power on/off and dimming
(see chapter “DMX Module”).
Once powered on, the lamp needs a few minutes to reach full brightness,
repeatedly turning the projector on/off during this period will reduce the bulb life.
The standard version of the ES-2500 uses cold restrike technology. This requires the
lamp to cool off after use before it will turn on again. After turning off the projector,
it may take around 20 minutes to restart.
Discharge bulbs should be replaced before the end of their specified bulb life. The
integrated hour counter is used as reference to determine the time that the bulb
has been in use. It cannot be reset.

Loading or Replacing the Lamp
Gobo Placement / Focusing / General Use
UNPLUG THE POWER CABLE
If the lamp head is not mounted, simply insert the bulb.
If the lamp head is mounted to the projector, pull out the lamp holder by removing
the three outer screws in the back of the lamp head. Don’t turn the inner
adjustment screws.
Remove the old lamp and replace it with the new one. Don’t touch the glass, if you
do, wipe off any oil with alcohol or the cleaning tissue that comes with the bulb.
Check- and adjust if necessary for an even field as described in “Lamp Adjustment”.
See “Gobo Types and Dimensions” below.
Please refer to the ETC Source Four User Manual for general instructions.

Lamp Adjustment
The objective is to achieve an evenly bright projection field, with the center slightly
brighter than the rest of the field. If this is the case, adjustment won’t be required.
The bulb position in the lamp head is pre adjusted but due to variations in the
different light bulbs, it may be required to re-adjust the bulb position.
Procedure (see illustrations below)
If available, place an empty gobo holder into the projector.
Focus the beam by positioning the lens barrel to achieve a hard edge beam.
Turning one screw tilts the lamp towards or away from the screw position. This is
used for centering the beam.
Turning all screws the same amount in one direction moves the lamp in or out of
the reflector.
All screws counter-clockwise: Hot Spot in center
All Screws clockwise: Dark Spot in center
Find a position where the dark spot just becomes an evenly bright center The
smaller the contrast between center and rest of the field, the better. An extremely
bright center (hot spot) can damage the gobo due to overheating.
