Installing ColorSource

1. Attach the Color Changer to the lamp
2. Attach safety cable
3. Connect Color Changers to the Power Supply
To get your ColorSource system up and running, follow these
hookup and checkout procedures.
Slide the Color Changer's mounting plate into the gel frame holder
of your lamp and lock the gel frame retention clip.
If the mounting plate installed on your Color Changer doesn't fit
the fixture, you may replace it with a differently sized plate. See
page 16 for information on changing mounting plates.
The mounting plate allows you to position the Color Changer with
the gelstring rolling either horizontally or vertically. However,
ColorSource operates most effectively with the fan blowing air
vertically (as hot air naturally rises).
A safety cable is attached to the back and right-hand side of the
Color Changer. Run this cable around the pipe or truss from which
you hang the light fixture and clip it to itself.
Connect the Color Changers to the Power Supply using the
supplied 6-pin power/signal cable. The connectors are on the
bottom of the Color Changer and the back of the Power Supply.
Note: Both power and signal are supplied to the Color Changers
by the same cable. The Color Changer connected to output
connector 1 operates on the first of the 12 DMX512 channels, the
color changer connected to output connector 2 operates on the
second, and so on. Only one scroller may be connected to each
output connector.
