Adjusting the C-clamp
The C-clamp attaches the fixture to the mounting pipe and allows you
to adjust the position of the fixture once it is mounted.
1. Tightly fasten the C-clamp to the yoke with the yoke bolt and lock
washer provided.
2. Place the C-clamp on mounting pipe, then tighten the pipe bolt to
secure it.
3. Loosen the C-clamp pan screw and rotate the yoke to the desired
position.
4. Tighten the pan screw to lock the fixture into position.
Adjusting the yoke
To adjust the fixture's position, loosen the yoke locking knob and tilt
the fixture to the desired position. Retighten the yoke locking knob to
secure it.
Source Four jr's two-position yoke allows you to modify the overall
height of the fixture in the yoke.
1. To change the yoke position, remove the yoke locking knob, then
remove the hex bolts on either side of the
fixture.
2. Move the fixture to the desired position.
(See Figure B)
3. Replace and tighten the hex bolts and the
locking knob.

Installing the HPL lamp
Important: Verify that the HPL lamp you use is suitable for your
facility's voltage. 115, 120, 230, and 240 volt HPL lamps are avail-
able. Operating HPL lamps above their rated voltage reduces lamp
life and can cause premature lamp failure. The lamp must be installed
before you use the fixture. See page 4 for list of available HPL lamps.
Replace the lamp if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed.
1. Disconnect the unit from power before installing the lamp.
Warning: Let lamp cool before changing.
2. Loosen the knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull
the housing straight out.
3. Remove the HPL lamp from its box, holding it by the base.
Note: To avoid premature lamp failure, do not touch the lamp
glass. If you do, clean it carefully with rubbing alcohol and a
clean, lint-free cloth before operation.
4. Line up the flat sides of the lamp base with the retention
brackets on either side of the socket. See figure 1.
5. Push down on the lamp base until the lamp seats firmly. (The
top of the lamp base will be even with the top edges of the
retention brackets when it is properly installed.)
Caution: Improperly installed lamps cause premature lamp
failure and socket problems.
6. Press lamp retainers down across lamp base and clip securely.
7. To reinstall the lamp housing, line up the side fins and the bolt
hole, then tighten the knurled bolt to secure the housing.
Aligning the lamp
Use the two concentric knobs on the rear of the lamp housing to
align the lamp. The outer knob centers the lamp within the reflector
and locks it in position; the inner knob fine tunes the field. See figure
2.
Important: Power must be on to align the lamp.
1. Unlock the outer knob by turning it counterclockwise one turn.
2. Gently push the outer knob from side to side and up and down
until the lamp is centered in the field.
3. Once the lamp is centered, tighten the outer knob to lock it in
place.
4. Turn the inner knob right or left to adjust for optimum flat field.
Focusing the beam
1. Loosen the beam focus knob on the underside of the barrel. See
figure 3.
2. Slide the lens forward or backward to achieve the desired beam
edge.
3. Once the fixture is focused, tighten the beam focus knob.
Gel notes
For best results, always use a high quality, high temperature color
medium. ETC does not guarantee performance with low tempera-
ture, saturated color gels.

Gel frame retaining clip
The gel frame holder is equipped with a spring-loaded retaining
clip that prevents gel frames and accessories from falling out of
the holder.
Important: Hang Source Four jr with the gel frame retaining clip
in the locked position before using the fixture.
1. Release the retaining clip by pushing it sideways. The
retaining clip pops open.
2. Insert the gel frame.
3. Press the retaining clip down until it locks.
Important: Lock retaining clip before you use the fixture.
Shaping the beam
You may shape the beam with the shutters, a pattern or an
optional drop-in iris.
Pattern projection
The pattern holder slot is on the top side of the barrel, immedi-
ately in front of the shutters. It accommodates M-size pattern
holders.
Use an optional donut in the accessory holder to enhance
pattern projection.
Drop-in iris slot
The drop-in iris slot is on the top side of the front barrel, immedi-
ately in front of the pattern holder slot. (See figure 2.) When it is
not in use, a small sheet metal cover secured with two Phillips
screws prevents light leakage. To install an iris, follow these
steps:
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the drop-
in iris slot cover. Do not remove the screws.
2. Slide the cover completely forward, exposing the slot.
3. Insert the iris. The flat side must be toward the shutters and
the iris handle should extend out of slot.
4. Slide the slot cover back toward the shutters until it meets
the iris handle. Leave enough space to move the iris handle.
Tighten the screws.

Cleaning lenses
Caution: Change lenses if they become visibly damaged to the extent that their
effectiveness is impaired, for example, by cracks or deep scratches.
1. Loosen the screw at the front of the lens carriage track.
2. Pull the lens carriage track out of the barrel.
3. Remove the beam focus knob from the bottom of the barrel and slide the
lens from the barrel.
4. Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with vinegar or household ammonia. You
may also use water, but it will leave spots which you may remove by
polishing the lens gently with a clean, dry cloth.
Warning: Never use glass and window cleaner or any abrasive material to
clean the lens. Glass and window cleaners will stain the lens surface.
Abrasive materials (such as steel wool) will damage the lens.
5. Starting from the center, gently wipe the lens.
6. Slide the lens frame back into the barrel and replace the beam focus knob.
7. Slide the lens carriage track back into place.
8. Replace and tighten screw at the front of the lens carriage track.
HPL lamps
Important: Do not use lamps other than the HPL in Source Four jr fixtures.
