To activate the units auto run mode, press the “MODE” button to show “AUTO”
on the LED screen. The unit will now run through its built-in programmes.
DMX Mode
To activate the units DMX mode, press the “MODE” button to show “d001” on the LED screen and
use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to set the rst digit in the DMX address from 0 to 512.
To choose one of the 5 DMX channels, press the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN”
buttons to scroll the through the 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 channel options. To conrm your choice, press the
“ENTER” button.
For DMX functions, please see the DMX charts below.

Spectra Flood 18T3 DMX Set up
8.
DMX-512:
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between
intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the
controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the
DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” DMX terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have
a data “out” terminal).
DMX Linking:
• DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together
and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the
shortest cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not
inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be
placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a
xture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to
address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
• The Spectra Flood 18T3 can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on
the back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for
data input/output.
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Further exterior DMX and power cables
can be purchased from all good sound and
lighting suppliers or Prolight dealers.

Notice:
• Be sure to follow gures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect the cable’s shield
conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer
casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.
Special Note: Line termination:
• When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a DMX terminator on the last unit to
avoid erratic behaviour (LEDJ260).
AC Plug:
• The Spectra Flood 18T3 features captive power cords terminated with IP66 connectors for power
input and power linking. The xture is then supplied with a short 13A to IP66 connector power
cord. If at any stage the 13A plug is removed please follow the chart below. Any changes to the
connector types must be veried by a PAT test or equivalent electrical safety test.
Power linking:
• The Spectra Flood 18T3 supports power linking. You can link up to 8 products at 120 VAC or 16
at 240 VAC.
•This product supplied with a xed power input cord. This product is not suppled with a power link
cable; however, power cables are available as an option (see page 8).
Termination reduces signal transmission problems
and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a
DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between
pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.

Spectra Flood 18T3 Trouble Shooting
Problem
One or more xtures
are completely dead.
Fixtures reset correctly, but
all are responding erratically
or not at all to the controller.
Fixtures reset correctly, but
some are responding
erratically or not at all
to the controller.
No power to the xture. Check that the power is switched
on and cables are connected.
Contact your Prolight dealer.
Internal fuse has blown.
The controller is not connected.
The 3-pin XLR out of the
controller does not match the
XLR out of the rst xture
(i.e. signal is reversed).
Poor data quality.
Check the data quality. If much lower
than 100%, the problem may be a
bad data link connection, poor quality
or broken cables, missing termination
plug or a defective xture is disturb-
ing the link.
Bad data link connection.
Inspect the connection and
cables. Correct the connection.
Repair or replace the
damaged cables.
Insert a termination plug into the
output socket of the last xture.
Data link not terminated with 120
Ohm termination plug.
Incorrect addressing of the xtures. Check that DMX address setting
is correct.
One of the xtures is
defective and disturbs the data
transmission on the link.
Bypass one xture at a time until
normal operation is regained.
Unplug both connectors and
connect them together.
Have the xture serviced by a
qualied technician.
The 3-pin XLR Out on the xture
do not match (pins 2 and 3
reversed).
Install a phase reversing cable
between the controller and the
rst xture in the link.
Install a phase
reversing cable between the
xtures or swap pin 2 and 3
in the xture that behaves
erratically.
Connect the controller.

Allow the xture to cool down.
Make sure that all air vents are
not blocked.
Disconnect the xture and return it
to your dealer.
Disconnect the xture and check
settings and correct if necessary.
