Page 2: Installation
The supply must be fitted with an isolating switch, or plug and socket, and protected by fuse or circuit breaker rated at either 10A and 16A. If the Spectre circuit is connected via an MCB then it is recommended that a time-delay MCB is used (Type 3 or Type C to BS3871). -
Page 3: Replacing The Lamps
This is not necessary, as the Spectre contains its own dimming circuitry. If you wish to use more than one Spectre, where there is a possibility of all three lamps being switched on at the same time (i.e. if selecting "white"), then make sure that you have a mains supply and connectors capable of handling this amount of current. -

Spectre the colour, but will keep all the lamps slightly illuminated. 4) Leave the Spectre to cool before moving it. Filament lamps are most vulnerable to failure just after switching off. The expected lamp life at various settings of the dimmer are shown below. -
Page 5: Operation
Spectre Operation The Spectre is a floodlight, and does not produce a focused beam of light. Aim the lantern in order to get the best illumination. The barn doors may be used to control light spill at the edges of the... -

DMXout on the second to DMXin on the third, and so on. If the Spectre is the LAST lantern in the chain, then it is necessary to "terminate" the DMX line. This is done by plugging a "terminator"... - Page 7 ("fully saturated") and white to be selected. To set up the Spectre, set the saturation control to zero, then set the brightness to the level required, and then set the colour. If a paler shade of the colour is required, increase the saturation control as required.

- Page 9 ("fully saturated") and white to be selected. To set up the Spectre, set the saturation control to zero, then set the brightness to the level required, and then set the colour. If a paler shade of the colour is required, increase the saturation control as required.
- Page 10 To set the channel and controller number, the function of the DMX address switches is changed, and are used as shown. The spectre may be used on any Midi channel from 9 to 16, and on any group of four controllers. Set the Midi channel as follows:...
- Page 11 The Spectre can be controlled directly from MIDI using four Midi- controllers. The Midi channel used and the controller numbers are set on the DIL switches.
- Page 12 Intermediate values set fade rates of less than 30 seconds. The operation of the other three controllers is shown below. It is assumed for the preceding examples that the Spectre is set to Midi Channel 16 and controller number 48.

The unit with the analogue inputs connected is called the MASTER, and the other units are called SLAVES. Setting the DIL switches For single operation, set the MODE switches OFF and all other switches ON as shown on the rear label.
- Page 14 User Guide Spectre To set up the Spectre, set the saturation control to zero, then set the brightness to the level required, and then set the colour. If a paler shade of the colour is required, increase the saturation control as required.
