WARNING! Read the safety precautions in this section before installing, powering or operating this product. P-5 series luminaires are intended for professional use only. They are not suitable for household use. Review the following safety precautions carefully before installing or operating the device.

WARNING! Take measures to prevent burns and fire. • Install in a location that prevents accidental contact with the device. • Install only in a well-ventilated space. • Install at least 0.3 m (12 in.) away from objects to be illuminated. •...
P-5, P-5 W and P-5 TW luminaires are DMX-controllable, low-profile, IP65-rated, rectangular, LED wash lights. The standard P-5 offers full RGBW color mixing, color temperature control and incorporate 44 10 W LZ4 RGBW Cool White Emitter LED’s. The P-5 W (white) is similar, but incorporating white-emitting LEDs. The P-5 TW (tunable white) offers the ability to adjust white color temperature to 2200, 3000, 4000 or 5300 K.
Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged in transport. The P-5 is shipped with two quarter-turn brackets that can be used to mount the device at elevation, and a W-DMX G4 wireless antenna.
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 P-5 to a support truss or structure using the supplied brackets and suitable clamps.

WARNING! Always secure an elevated P∙5 with a safety cable as backup The device can be tilted from -10/+100 degrees. To adjust the tilt angle, loosen the two tilt screws, one of each side of the fixture, tilt the device to the angle required and retighten the screws.
Connecting AC power The P·5 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. The junction’s ingress protection (IP) rating must be suitable for the location.
Configuring the device using an Android telephone via RFID P-5 devices can also be configured wirelessly, via RFID, using the SGM Tool app installed on an Android smart phone that has NFC support (ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 compatible, operating on 13.56 MHz ±7k Hz...
Setting a static color manually The device can be configured to display a predefined and static color (or white, depending on the P-5 model) using the “Manual→Quick color” menus (see “Control menu” on page 32). 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 or 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 P-5’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.
DMX mode that has been set. The first channel used to receive data from a DMX control device is known as the DMX address. Each P-5 must have a DMX address set. For example, if a P-5 has a DMX address of 10 and it is in 4-channel DMX mode, then it uses channels 10, 11, 12 and 13.

Setting the fan mode For operating environments where low-noise is a requirement or where the fixture will be operating in high temperatures, it is possible to adjust the default fan speed to low or high using the “Settings→Fan mode” menu.
This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your SGM dealer for a suitable maintenance schedule. Clean the P∙5 using a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and a mild detergent. Do not use products that contain solvents,...
