This fixture 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. CAUTION: • Risk of eye injury. Do not stare directly into the light. • Do not operate in proximity to flammable materials.

ColorSource PAR v1.5 ColorSource PAR v1.5 Page 6 of 12 ETC Setting presets and sequences There are twelve factory-configured presets followed by five factory- configured sequences built into the fixture. From the Preset/Sequence menu, press the Up and Down buttons to scroll through the list. The sequence or preset plays immediately upon selection. All presets and sequences can be re- recorded through an RDM device. Re-recording a preset 1: Using DMX or RDM, set the desired RGB levels. 2: Press the Mode button to access the Preset/Sequence menu. 3: Using the Up and Down buttons, navigate to the preset number that you want to re-record. 4: Hold the Mode button for 3 seconds to confirm the preset selection. The user interface will show a 3-second countdown. The preset number blinks once to confirm that the preset has been recorded. It is possible to activate a known preset or sequence from a connected fixture when DMX is not present. If a connected fixture activates a preset or sequence that is not recognized by the PAR, the PAR will hold its last look. When DMX is restored, the DMX takes priority. Note: When the fixture is in Direct mode () or 1-channel mode (), you cannot re-record presets. When you re-record presets with the fixture in RGB mode (), the intensity is set to full and the strobe is turned off. See Changing the DMX control mode on page 8.

The display will show  to indicate that the user interface is locked. 2: To unlock the user interface, hold the Up and Down buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Updating the fixture software ETC recommends using UpdaterAtor software to manage software updates. For more information on UpdaterAtor, see the UpdaterAtor Software Quick 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. 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. 1: Remove power and DMX from the master fixture that is running the software version that you want to push to other fixtures. 2: Hold the Up and Down buttons simultaneously while restoring power. 3: The display will show  to indicate the update mode is selected. 4: Press the Mode button to start the update process. • The display will alternate between  and the percentage complete while updating. • The master fixture will reboot once the update is complete. Restoring factory defaults Hold all three buttons (Mode, Up, and Down) simultaneously for 5 seconds. The DMX start address will blink once to confirm that defaults have been restored.
