WARNING! Take measures to prevent personal injury. • Do not look directly at the light source from close range. • Take precautions to prevent injury due to falls when working at height. • For permanent installation, ensure that the device is securely fastened to a load-bearing surface with suitable corrosion-resistent hardware.
Overview The Q-7 is a low-profile, compact IP65-rated*, full-color LED wash light, incorporating 1,000 RGB + 1,000 White LEDs. The Q-7 W is a low-profile, compact IP65-rated* cool white flood light incorporating 1,000 cool white LEDs. Both fixtures offer built-in wireless DMX support, stand-alone programs, dimming, RGB color mixing (Q-7), color temperature control, a (half-peak) spread angle of 110°...
Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged during transport. The Q-7 series is shipped with two quarter-turn brackets, that can be used to mount the device at elevation, and a W- G4 wireless antenna.
Under normal operation the moisture will evaporate. However, in locations with high rainfall, 300 (11.8 in.) you may wish to fabricate a rain shield above the device, or modify the Q-7’s position and orientation to minimize pooling. (6.1 in.) Ø8...

Two quarter-turn brackets are supplied with the device if it is to be flown above the ground. Remove the floor stand/base and rig the Q-7 to a support truss or structure using the supplied brackets and suitable clamps. Fasten a safety cable (not shown) between the support structure and the attachment point on the device.
Connecting AC power The Q-7 can operate on any 208–250 V, 50/60 Hz AC mains power supply. It draws approximately 2 amps at full power. For permanent installation, have a qualified electrician wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit.
Configuring the device using an Android smartphone via RFID Q-7 devices can also be configured wirelessly, via RFID, using the SGM Tool app installed on an Android smartphone that has NFC support (ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 compatible, operating on 13.56 MHz ±7k Hz carrier...
Setting a static color manually The device can be configured to display a predefined and static color (or white color, depending on the Q-7 model) using the “Manual→Quick color” menus (see “Control menu” on page 26). Note that whenever the “Manual→Quick color” settings are changed, the fixture will be set by default to automatically start in quick color mode whenever it is powered on.
Using stand-alone operation Stand-alone operation is where the fixture is not connected to a control device, but is preprogrammed with a series of up to 24 scenes, that play continuously in a loop. Up to three stand-alone programs can be defined and run from the menus, and one of the programs can be set to run by default whenever the fixture is started.
Connecting to a DMX control device The device is controllable using a DMX control device and it can be connected using either DMX cable or via the Q-7’s built-in wireless W-DMX G4 receiver system. If using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX in cable (with male 5-pin XLR plug) and out cable (with female 5-pin XLR plug) to the DMX data link.
The first channel used to receive data from a DMX control device is known as the DMX start address. Each Q-7 must have a DMX start address set. For example, if a Q-7 has a DMX address of 10 and it is in 4-channel DMX mode, then it uses channels 10, 11, 12 and 13.
Page 19
Setting the DMX mode Using the “DMX mode” menu available from the control panel, specify the DMX mode that provides the device controls that you require: DMX mode Function Individual control of color channels for red, green, blue & white (RGBW). RGBW, Shutter and Intensity.
100%. Linear control provides uniform adjustment throughout the control action, whereas gamma corrected dimming provides finer control at low light levels, where the eye is more sensitive to change. By default, the Q-7 uses gamma corrected dimming. For uniform response, set all devices to the same dimming curve. To set the desired dimming curve, use the “Settings→Dimming curve”...
If in doubt, consult your SGM dealer for a suitable maintenance schedule. Clean the Q-7 using a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and a mild detergent. Do not use products that contain solvents, abrasives or caustic agents for cleaning, as they can cause damage to both hardware, cables and connectors.
