Preparing for installation Unpacking Unpack the fixture and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged in transport. The i-5 is shipped with: • User manual • Two Omega bracket with 1/4-turn fasteners • Floor stand (including screws) •...
Location/application The fixture is IP65-rated and designed for use in wet locations. This means that it is protected from: • Dust; to the degree that dust cannot enter the fixture in sufficient quantities to interfere with its operation. • Lower pressure jets of water from any direction. When selecting a location for the fixture, ensure that: •...
Installation / Rigging WARNING! Always secure elevated fixtures with a safety cable. The i-5 may be installed in any orientation. Always use an omega bracket to rig the fixture. Lock the bracket with the 1/4-turn fasteners. The fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise. Always fasten a safety wire between the load-bearing support structure and the attachment point on the fixture.
Rigging process Start the rigging process by blocking the work area below, and make sure the work is performed from a stable platform. Check that the clamp is undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Check that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables etc.
Connecting AC power The i-5 can operate on any 208-240V, 50/60 Hz AC mains power supply. Connect the fixture to power by mounting a power connector to the bare ended mains cable. For permanent installation, have a qualified electrician wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit. The ingress protection (IP) of any junction’s must be suitable for the location.
Display panel operations The display panel can be used to configure individual fixture settings, check the fixtures firmware version and error messages. When the fixture is powered on, it boots and resets, before displaying the DMX start address. Using the display panel •...

Connecting to a DMX control device The i-5 is controllable using a DMX control device and it can be connected using either a DMX cable or via the fixture’s built- in LumenRadio CRMX wireless receiver system. If using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX in- and output cables to the connectors on the rear of the base of the fixture (chassis mounted 5-pin XLR connectors).
Configuring the fixture for DMX control About DMX The i-5 can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller on a number of channels (USITT DMX512-A). The i-5 operates in various DMX modes. See “DMX modes overview” on page 39 for details. The first channel used to receive data from a DMX control device is known as the DMX start address.
Configuring the fixture using an Android device via RFID The i-5 can also be configured wirelessly, via RFID, using the SGM Tool app installed on an Android device that has NFC support, App available in the Google™ Play Store (ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 compatible, operating on 13.56 MHz ±7k Hz carrier frequency).
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.

The i-5 features support for various RDM functions. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a protocol enhancement to USITT DMX512 that allows bi-directional communication between the fixtures and the controller over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, status monitoring, and management.
Sensors RDM enables various sensor readouts for remote device monitoring. See the table below for available sensors and sensor types. Name Sensor Type Base Temperature Head Temperature...
Fixture personality settings Setting the dimming curve The setting of the dimming curve will determine the fixture’s behavior, when changing the light intensity between 0% - 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.
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. Setting the LED refresh rate (Frequency) When using LED lighting with cameras, flickering can occur due to incompatible frequency settings which means the LEDs and the cameras is not synchronised.
There are no user-serviceable components in the fixture. Do not open the i-5, as doing so will likely damage its ingress pro- tection (IP) rating. Consult your SGM dealer if the fixture operates abnormally, is defective or otherwise is in need of service or repair.
Go to the MENU → INFO → FIRMWARE VERSION. To perform firmware updates, use a Windows-based personal computer, the SGM Firmware Tool software (available on the SGM website, www.sgmlight.com) and a SGM USB 5-Pin-XLR upload cable (available from your SGM dealer).
