Note About LED Fixtures All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and some color shift over time. Source Four LED Profile fixtures have complex thermal management systems to minimize these changes. With typical usage, a Series 1 fixture will still achieve at least 70% of its initial output after 50,000 hours of use (B50, L70).

Secure the c-clamp to the yoke with the provided yoke bolt and lock washer. Place the c-clamp on the mounting pipe and secure by tightening the pipe bolt.
Installation Clearances Cooling and Duty Cycle Source 4 LED fixtures are fan cooled and can operate all channels at full power continuously in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F). If ambient conditions exceed 40°C (104°F) or fail to allow sufficient airflow over a long period of time, the fixtures may shut down and remain off until they return to a safe operating temperature.
Dimensions and Hanging Clearances Use the following dimensions to allow proper clearances around the fixture. Allow additional space for cables. 10.6” 268 mm 7.9” 200 mm 24.2” 615 mm 12.1” 308 mm 17.1” 434 mm 10.8” 6.9 ” 274 mm 174 mm 19.56”...
Safety Cable A safety cable (or other approved safety device) should be attached to the fixture housing and wrapped around the hanging structure (pipe). An appropriate attachment loop is provided on the protruding tab of the fixture housing. Take care to leave as little slack as possible in the safety cable to avoid the cable catching the yoke of the fixture.
Power and Data Cabling Requirements Power The Source 4 LED fixture operates on AC power, 100–240VAC/50–60Hz. The fixture must be connected to a non-dimmable power source in order to avoid damage to its internal power supply and other electrical components. WARNING: The fixture must be connected to a non-dimmable power source in order to avoid damage to its internal power supply and other electrical components.
Connections All connections and user controls are located on the back of the fixture. Status indicators DMX In Power In DMX Thru Power Thru Figure-2.13 Power and DMX connections on back of fixture Connect AC input power and DMX data cables to the appropriate ports. Connect the incoming DMX data cable to the DMX Input connector.
DMX Addressing Addresses must be set between 1 and 510. Each Source Four LED Profile fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of DMX line-loading calculations. DMX line-loading practice dictates that no more than 32 devices can be daisy-chained together. Consequently, no combination of Source Four LED Profile fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX devices should be configured in one DMX line.
