Spectral ZP-5
The Spectral ZP-5 can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in stand-
alone mode.
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 front side of the base 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 35 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+35=36 (036); the DMX address of the third Spectral should be 36+35=71 (071), 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 ZP-5.
•
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.

When no button is pressed for 25 seconds, the display will turn off.
