Warning
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Your shipment includes:
●Showtec Spectral PC 400Z IP65
●Safety cable
●Schuko to Powercon True1 power cable (1,5 m)
●User manual
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason, when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.
Safety Instructions
Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this device has to:
●be qualified
●follow the instructions of this manual

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @110V: 20 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @240V: 40 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable,
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

stand-alone mode.

B) MENU button
C) ENTER button

E) UP button
Fig. 05
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 17 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+17=18 (018); the DMX address of the third Spectral should be 18+17=35 (035), 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 12 seconds
When no button is pressed for 12 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press one of the buttons: MENU, ENTER, UP or DOWN
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.
