ColorSource PAR v1.7/v3.0

Overview

The ColorSource PAR is an affordable LED fixture that uses the RGB-L (red, green, blue, and lime) color system to provide a rich, bright light. The ColorSource PAR is  available in both original and Deep Blue variants. The Deep Blue uses an array that offers richer, more saturated blues and stronger magentas in exchange for the more jewel- toned blues like sky or turquoise. For more information, see the ETC website at etcconnect.com. The ColorSource PAR is UL924 listed as a Directly Controlled Luminaire for use in emergency lighting systems when used with the ETC DMX Emergency Bypass Controller (DEBC).

Note: Features described in this document require the latest version of the software. For information on updating fixture software, see Update the Fixture Software on page 11.

Emergency Lighting Considerations Luminaires that are used in emergency lighting applications must provide a minimum illumination level over the identified means of egress path in accordance with the Life Safety Code ® , NFPA 101. A luminaire that is intended to serve this purpose must be mounted at a height where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel and where the minimum required illumination level over the egress path can be achieved. The ETC DMX Emergency Bypass Controller that is driving the luminaire upon loss of utility power must be programmed to drive the ColorSource PAR to full illumination.
Installation Mounting
The ColorSource PAR ships with a standard yoke for mounting with a clamp. An expandable floor stand yoke is available as an optional accessory. Contact your local dealer for more information.
Safety Cable
A safety cable (or other approved safety device)  ust be attached to the fixture. Attachment loops are on the rear of the fixture. Leave as little slack as possible in the safety cable  to avoid catching the yoke of the fixture.

Troubleshooting

Update the Fixture Software

ETC recommends using UpdaterAtor software to manage software updates.
For information on UpdaterAtor, see the UpdaterAtor Software Quick Guide and the UpdaterAtor Software Release Note, which you can download from etcconnect.com.
You can push newer software versions from a connected fixture to selected ColorSource fixtures (see table that follows). You can push newer software versions from a  connected fixture only on ColorSource fixtures running software v1.3.0 or newer. Use UpdaterAtor to update individual fixtures running versions older than v1.3.0.
Note: If you have other types of fixtures in your DMX run, you do no need to disconnect them before pushing the updated fixture software. The update process will ignore any other fixture types in the DMX run.
Note: Not sure what version of fixture software is installed? The version number appears on the display when the fixture powers up.
