Colour frame holder

The colour frame holder is equipped with a spring-loaded retaining clip that prevents colour frames

and accessories from falling out. See

Figure 2

Step 1:

Release the retaining clip by pushing it sideways while gently pulling backwards.

Step 2:

Insert the colour frame.

Step 3:

Lock the retaining clip by pushing sideways while gently pushing forward.

For maximum gel life with specific lens tubes, refer to the tables below.

W A R N I N G :

Make sure all colour frame accessories are locked in position with the

retaining clip before hanging the Source Four luminaire.

N o t e :

The performance of saturated colours may be less than desirable in any theatrical

lighting luminaire, especially when equipped with a 750w lamp. For best results,

always use high-quality colour media rated for high-temperature use.
ETC’s optional Conical Gel Extender, part # 7060A1048, will provide maximum

colour media life. For 14° lens tubes, use part # PSF1029. Gel Extenders are not

recommended for 70° and 90° lens tubes due to the extremely wide-angle beam.
A variety of heat shield products is also available from many colour media

manufacturers. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the use of these

products.
