Spectral M300 Q4 MKII

Control Panel

Control Mode

The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address, next time.)

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the back side of the device allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the
first channel with which the Spectral will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 9 channels.
When using multiple Spectrals, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Spectral should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Spectral should be 1+9=10 (010); the DMX address of the third Spectral should be 10+9=19 (019), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Spectral
correctly. If two or more Spectrals are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Spectral fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Spectral will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the "LED " on the control panel will not flash. If not, the
problem may be:
The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Spectral
The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 35 seconds
When no button is pressed for 35 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press the ENTER, UP or DOWN button.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.
