Installation

Mounti ng

The ColorSource CYC is
designed for floor mounting.
You can also use the yoke
accessory (included) for top­hang 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

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

Po wer: Two powerCON®connectors for power in and thru
Data (DMX51 2 /R DM ): 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.
XLRterminators are not available from ETC.

To purchase an RJ45 terminator, please contact ETC customer service
and request part number N4086.

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

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

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

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.

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.)

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.

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. You can re-record presets and sequences through an RDM
device or manually on the fixture. See

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.

Lock the User I nterface

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.

Update the Fixture Software

ETC recommends using UpdaterAtor software to manage software updates.
For more information on UpdaterAtor, see the

Guide

, which you can download for free from etcconnect.com.

When you add a ColorSource fixture running a newer software version or
update a ColorSource fixture to a newer software version using UpdaterAtor,
you can use that fixture to push the newer software version to all connected
ColorSource fixtures, except for ColorSource Spotjr fixtures. ColorSource
Spotjr fixtures can only update (and be updated by)other ColorSource Spotjr
fixtures.

1. Remove power and DMX In from the master 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 will show Udt rdy to indicate the update mode is
selected.

4. Press the Mode button to start the update process.

The display will alternate between Udt and the percentage
complete while updating.
The master fixture will reboot once the update is complete.

5. Reconnect DMX In on the master 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.

Cl ean 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.

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.

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.
