  • Page 6: Safety Information

    WARNING! Read the safety precautions in this section before installing, powering or operating this product. The SP-6 SixPack is intended for professional use only. It is not suitable for household use. Review the following safety precautions carefully before installing or operating the device.
  • Page 7 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. •...

  • Page 8: Overview

    Overview The SP-6 SixPack is a pixel array based on the popular blinder—but the traditional halogen lamps have been replaced with RGBA LEDs. The fixture incorporates six powerful 35 W colour mixable LEDs, with individual DMX control over each pixel, enabling a creative lighting designer to paint light canvasses, display animated text or programmed patterns.

  • Page 9: Preparing For Installation

    Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged in transport. The SP-6 SixPack is supplied with this user guide, a stand bracket, a vertical-array top mounting bracket, two snap-lock brackets, a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 power cable and two locking pins with cotter pins.

  • Page 10: Installing The Sp-6 Sixpack

    The angle of the fixture can be adjusted using the tilt locks at either end of the fixture. WARNING! Always secure an elevated SP-6 SixPack with a safety cable as backup When flying any fixture at elevation, always fasten a safety cable between the load-bearing support structure and the attachment point on the device.

  • Page 11: Installing Fixtures At Elevation In An Array

    Installing fixtures at elevation in an array WARNING! Do not connect more than eight SP-6 SixPacks together in a single array Using the supplied snap-lock brackets, horizontally (flat) or vertically (upright) aligned SP-6 SixPack fixtures can be connected into arrays. The supplied hardware is able to bear the weight of up to eight SP-6 Six Pack fixtures.
  • Page 12 Attaching snap-lock brackets Two snap lock brackets are supplied with each fixture and these are used to connect fixtures together in arrays. To remove the stand bracket and mount the snap-lock brackets: Unscrew the tilt locks on each side of the fixture and detach the stand. Remove the two Torx 25 screws that hold the safety cable eyelet in place and remove the eyelet.
  • Page 13 To connect one vertically-oriented SP-6 SixPack device to another: Lift a SP-6 SixPack into position under the other so that the eye holes on each fixture are aligned. Orient the fixture so that the built-in DMX and power patch cables and connectors are able to reach, or be reached, by adjacent devices in a daisy chain.
  • Page 14 0.5 m (20 in.) built-in DMX and power cables. To connect one SP-6 SixPack device to another: Lift a SP-6 SixPack into position under the other. Depending on how you plan to daisy-chain power and DMX cables between fixtures, you might choose to mount every second device upside down so that the built-in DMX and power patch cables can reach the next device (see “Planning the layout of fixtures in an array”...
  • Page 15 Connecting arrays together into a larger matrix No single fixture may be loaded with the weight of more than seven other fixtures in an array. Arrays threads can be connected to other array threads, but each array thread must have its own secure correction to a load bearing structure, and not have its weight supported by another array thread.

  • Page 16: Connecting Ac Power

    Connecting AC power The SP-6 SixPack can operate on any 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz AC mains power supply. Connect the device to power using a cable with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector (supplied with the fixture). The device can feed power to another device in a daisy chain using the built-in 0.5 m (20 in.) power-out cable.

  • Page 17: Connecting To Control Data

    Connecting to control data The device complies with the Digital MultipleX (DMX) communications protocol. It is controlled using a DMX control device and must be connected to the data link using a DMX cable with a 5-pin DMX connector. Connect the DMX in socket and out socket to the DMX data link. The device can feed control signals to another device in a daisy chain using the built-in 0.5 m (20 in.) DMX-out cable.

  • Page 18: Configuring The Device

    As an alternative to connecting the device to power and using the control panel, one or more SP-6 Six Pack devices can also be configured wirelessly, via RFID, using the SGM Tool app (available from the Google Play Store) 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 carrier frequency).
  • Page 19 About DMX The SP-6 SixPack is controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller on a number of channels (6, 7, 24, 28 or 48 depending on the DMX mode that has been set). The first channel used to receive data from a DMX control device is known as the DMX address.
  • Page 20 By default, the SP-6 SixPack uses gamma corrected dimming. For uniform response, set all devices to the same dimming curve. To set the desired dimming curve, use the control...
  • Page 21 Temperature dimming mode options As the device warms up, the color of the light changes slightly. By default, the device will dim the colors according to the temperature of the device, to keep the color output constant. This can be disabled by selecting the ‘Max Power’...
  • Page 22 Setting the OLED display saver By default the OLED display turns off after a short period when the control panel is not in use, but it can be set so that it dims. Pressing any key will always turns on the display or restore it to normal brightness. To set the OLED screen saver mode, use the “Settings→Display Saver”...

  • Page 23: Service

    If in doubt, consult your SGM dealer for a suitable maintenance schedule. Clean the SP-6 SixPack 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...
