Connecting to a DMX control device
The G-Spot Turbo 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 cable to the input connector under the base of the fixture (chassis mounted
male 5-pin XLR connector), and the DMX out to the output cable, also, under the base (female 5-pin XLR plug). Terminate the DMX
out cable of the last fixture in the data link.
For outdoor events, use only IP65-rated XLR connectors. If using a wireless DMX system, ensure that the DMX output is connected
to the DMX in connector and properly inserted. Connect both DMX in and DMX out cables in order to maintain the fixtures IP65 rating.
Connecting a wireless transmitter
The G-Spot Turbo is not paired to a wireless transmitter. It is designed to look for wireless transmitters in 'connect' state.
To connect the G-Spot Turbo to a wireless transmitter:
•
Log off the currently paired wireless transmitter. See "Disconnecting a wireless transmitter" below.
•
Press the connect button on the wireless transmitter.
•
Confirm that the fixture has paired with the wireless transmitter.
Disconnecting a wireless transmitter
To disconnect the fixture from the currently paired wireless transmitter, go to:
MENU → SETTINGS → WIRELESS DMX → LOG OFF.
Signal priority
The G-Spot Turbo can be paired to an active wireless transmitter simultaneously as being connected to cabled DMX. The fixture will
prioritize cabled DMX over wireless DMX. The active input type is displayed under the wireless signal strength indicator.
Configuring the device for DMX control
About DMX
The G-Spot Turbo can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller on a number of DMX channels (which varies 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 start address. Each G-Spot Turbo must have
a DMX start address set. For example, if a fixture has a DMX address of 10 and it is in 25-channel DMX mode, then it uses channels
from 10 to 34. The following device in the DMX chain could then be set to a DMX address of 35. If two or more DMX devices of the
same type have the same DMX address, then they will mimic each other's behavior. Incorrect settings will result in unpredictable
responses from the lighting controller.
Please Note:
Standard microphone cable is not suitable for transmitting DMX.
The last fixture must always be fitted with a DMX termination plug to the fixtures DMX out.
Setting the DMX address
The DMX address is shown in the display panel. To change the address setting, press the up and down arrows. When the desired
address is displayed, press 'OK' to save the setting. For your convenience, the next available DMX address is displayed to the right.
Note that channel spacing is determined by the DMX mode.
The G-Spot Turbo also offers the option to set the DMX address through RDM.
DMX modes
The G-Spot Turbo operates in different modes.
Please see all the DMX charts available on the SGM website: http://www.sgmlight.com under the respective products or upon request
via support@sgmlight.com.
Full color calibration and Color temperature correction
Features full color calibration when you mix two or three colors to ensure uniform color between products. Adjusting one color does
not activate full color calibration.
For further information about full color calibration please see all the DMX charts available at http://www.sgmlight.com, or upon request
