Step 2: Loosen the screw securing the ballast.

Figure-2 Ballast and Reflector Housing Base on the Back of the Fixture.

Step 3: Rotate the ballast to reveal the lamp cap.

Step 4: Loosen the four screws of the lamp cap.

The screws are captive so they will stay in the cap.

Step 5: Pull the lamp assembly straight out of the fixture.

Step 6: Carefully pull the old lamp out of the ceramic base.

Step 7: Holding it by the base, remove the new HID lamp from its box.

WARNING:

Do not replace the lamp when it is raining or snowing. Do not stand in water
while replacing the lamp. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious
injury or death.

WARNING:

Disconnect power and let the lamp cool before replacing.

Note:

Verify that the HID lamp you intend to install is suitable for your fixture’s ballast.
See Lamp and Ballast Information, page 2. Operating HID lamps above their rated
voltage reduces lamp life and can cause premature lamp failure.

The facility’s voltage must match the voltage of the fixture and its ballast.

Figure-4 4mm Hex Screws on the Barrel.

Step 2: Slide the barrel off the fixture.

Step 3: Use the two studs on the barrel to hang it on the side of the yoke while you work.

Figure-5 Barrel Hanging Studs and Slots on Yoke.

Step 4: Use the safety loop and the optional safety cable to secure the barrel if needed.

To install the barrel:

Step 1: Slide the barrel down over the lens rails, aligning the three ridges of the barrel with the

ridges on the housing.

Step 2: With the barrel down as far as it will go, rotate it until the internal locating pins go in the

locating holes.

Adjustments

Focusing the Beam

Two internal lenses control the size and focus of the light beam. Each lens is mounted in frames
and these frames slide along the rails. The lens frames are secured in the desired location with two
knurled thumb screws.

• The field lens is nearest the lamp and controls the width of the beam.

• The focus lens is furthermost from the lamp and controls the focus of the beam.

Figure-7 Lens Arrangement.

Step 1: Remove the barrel as described in Removing and Installing the Barrel, page 6.

Step 2: Turn the Source Four XT on and aim it at a flat surface.

Step 3: Pull the shutters outward so that the aperture is fully open. Refer to Adjusting Shutters,

page 11.

Step 4: Loosen the two knurled thumb screws on the field lens holder.

WARNING:

Do not remove the barrel and expose the interior of the fixture to water, such
as rain or snow. Do not stand in water while installing or servicing the
fixture. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious injury or death.

Step 5: Gently slide the field lens back and forth on the rails until you get the desired width of the

beam and then finger-tighten the thumb screws.

• Moving the lens towards the lamp narrows the field angle of the beam.

• Moving the lens away from the lamp widens the field angle of the beam.

Step 6: Loosen the two knurled thumb screws on the focus lens holder.

Step 7: Gently slide the focus lens back and forth on the rails until you get the desired focus of

the beam and then finger-tighten the thumb screws.

• Moving the lens towards the lamp sharpens the focus so that the edges are hard.

• Moving the lens away from the lamp softens the focus so that the edges are soft.

Step 8: Shape the beam with the shutters and install a pattern if needed. See Shaping the Beam,

page 10.

Lens holder thumb screws

Shaping the Beam

The beam can be shaped using patterns and the shutters. The beam can also be colored with
colored glass in the pattern holder.

Pattern and Color Projection

The two pattern holder slots are inside the fixture and immediately in front of the shutters. The
holder slots accommodate B-size and glass pattern holders. The holder holds 2.5 and 2.75 inch
diameter patterns. One pattern holder for steel patterns is supplied with the fixture. Additional glass
or steel pattern holders are available from ETC.

Figure-9 Pattern Holder Dimensions.

Step 1: Remove the barrel as described in Removing and Installing the Barrel, page 6.

Step 2: Insert the pattern into the pattern holder upside down and in reverse of the desired

projection.

Note:

The projected beam is the inverse of the inserted patterns and shutter
adjustments. That is, for a pattern to be projected right side up, it is inserted upside
down and backwards. Likewise, moving a shutter affects its opposite image.

Step 3: Adjust the focus lens if needed. See Focusing the Beam, page 8.

Step 4: Reinstall the barrel.

Adjusting Shutters

Use the shutters to shape the light beam. For example, you may want to use them to block the light
from falling on part of a building. Or you may want to frame a sign. The shutters are held in place
by a spring shutter retention system. You do not need to tighten or loosen the screws to make
adjustments.

Step 1: Remove the barrel as described in Removing and Installing the Barrel, page 6.

Step 2: Turn the Source Four XT on and aim it at the structure you are illuminating.

Step 3: Pull the shutters outward so that the aperture is fully open.
