Connect cables
The fixture can be controlled by AC power or DMX. The fixture responds to the
control method selected using the user interface. For more information, see
User interface on page 12 .
1: If using DMX control: Connect one RJ45 data cable for data-in and one
for data-thru, as needed.
• To order RJ45 to female XLR adapter, use ETC part number W6538.
• To order RJ45 to male XLR adapter, use ETC part number W6539.
2: When connecting data, consider the following:
• Two strain reliefs are built in to the bottom of the Source 4WRD
fixture and should be used to support the fixture’s data cable.
• When using DMX over Cat5, use Cat5e or better. Cable distance
must not exceed 300 m (1000 ft).
• The Source 4
WRD fixture cannot be controlled via network protocols
and should not be connected to a system network.
• Up to 32 fixtures can be connected together into a daisy chain.
3: Connect fixture to power source.
Note:
Make sure your dimmer is out of regulated mode for
optimum performance. See Sensor dimmer settings on
page 5 for recommended dimmer settings.
Note:
Connecting both power and data from a SmartBar 1 to a
Source 4 WRD fixture may cause flickering.
WARNING:
Do not use or store the Source 4 WRD fixture below
5°C (41°F). When the fixture has been stored or
transported in cold temperatures, allow it to warm to
room temperature for a minimum of 1 hour before
applying power. Applying power to a cold fixture will
cause damage to the fixture and void ETC warranty.
Note:
The fixture is not self terminating. You must terminate
the last fixture in line with a 120 Ohm resistor. Please
contact your ETC customer service representative to
purchase ETC part number N4086.
