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.
• Safety cable
• 2 x DMX IP65 extension cables
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:

Ordercode: 43539
Spectral ZP-5
Before the initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation.
Should there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the device.
To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to
follow the safety instructions and warning notes contained in this manual.
Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the device are not subject to
warranty.
This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified technicians only.
IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of
this manual or any unauthorized modification to the device.
• Never let the power cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power cord and all
connections with the mains with particular caution!
• Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
• Never use anything to cover the ground contact.
• Never lift the fixture holding it by the projector-head, as the mechanics may be damaged. Always
hold the fixture by the transport handles.
• Never place any material over the lens.
• Never look directly into the light source.
• Never leave any cables lying around.
• Do not connect this device to a dimmerpack.
• Do not switch the device on and off in short intervals, as this will reduce the device’s life.
• Do not touch the device’s housing bare-handed during its operation (housing becomes very hot).
Allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.
• Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
• Only use the device indoors, avoid contact with water or other liquids.

Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
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.
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
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link: @110V: 3 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link: @240V: 6 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.

The Spectral ZP-5 can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in standalone mode.
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.
To light up the display, you have to press the buttons in the following order: UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN, ENTER.
Once you have pressed the buttons, the display will light up.
