• Lower pressure jets of water from any direction In the G-4 Wash Motorized Barndoors, while the fixture is full IP65-rated, the motorized barndoors module is IP20-rated. Therefore, the motorized barndoors are not protected from water and dust. When selecting a location for the device, ensure that: •...
Installing / rigging the G-4 The G-4 Series may be installed in any orientation, with base or with ceiling mount. Always use an omega bracket to rig the fixture and lock the bracket with the 1/4-turn fasteners. Please note: The 1/4-turn fasteners are only locked when turned fully clockwise. Rigging process Start the rigging process by blocking the working area below the fixture.
When installing standard type C circuit breakers, there will be no limitations due to the fixture in-rush current. For assistance with alternative configurations, contact your SGM representative. After connecting the G-4 to power, run the on-board test, going to “MENU → TEST →AUTOMATED TEST”, to ensure the fixture and each LED are functioning correctly.
Configuring the device Set up the fixture using the control panel and OLED display at the yoke of the fixture. After powering on the G-4 Series, the display shows the currently selected operating mode. Navigate through the menus using the arrows and select items using the ENTER button.
The active input type is displayed under the wireless signal strength indicator. The signal strength can be also checked via RDM data by using a external RDM device (e.g. the SGM A-4). Note: In POI versions with wireless, the DMX signal strength can only be checked through RDM.

DMX modes The G-4 Series operates in different modes. All DMX charts are available at www.sgmlight.com under the respective products, or upon request via support@sgmlight.com. DMX Start address As mentioned above, the G-4 Series can be operated in different DMX modes. Regardless of which DMX mode is selected, the first channel used to receive data from a DMX control device is known as the DMX start address.
Stored position preset 1 Programming the position presets for the internal programs is performed by using the innovative SGM patented system, which lets you determine the pan position by changing it directly by hand. These position presets can also be captured directly from DMX values sent from a controller.
The G-4 RGBAM Series features a color macro, which is a very powerful tool that easily matches colors between different types of SGM luminaires. The color macro tool allows the G-4 RGBAM Series to adjust to the same color hue as, for instance, the G-1 Beam (fixed color wheel).

Apart from the ceiling mount, tophat, and interchangeable front lens, there are no other user-serviceable components in the fixture. Do not open other parts in the G-4 series, as doing so might damage the ingress protection.

Preparing for installing the ceiling mount The ceiling mount bracket consists of two main parts: • the trapeze shaped mounting plate. • the ceiling plate. After detaching the base of the fixture from the head, prepare the ceiling mount: 1. Remove the two lock-screws (if installed) and separate the two parts. 2.
G-4 Wash Top Hat The G-4 Wash is extendible using the Top Hat, which main function is to create discrete lighting designs, reducing flare coming from the direct light source. The Top Hat can be easily mounted through magnetic fastening. When correctly aligned to the front lens, the Top Hat will snap into place due to the four powerful magnets.
Interchangeable front lens The G-4 Series offers the possibility to change the front lens, expanding the flexibility of the luminaire even further. A G-4 Wash can quickly be converted into a G-4 Wash-Beam, or in a G-4 Wash with Motorized Barndoors.
Attaching/detaching the motorized barndoors Swapping the front lens of the G-4 Wash or Wash-Beam for the motorized barndoors requires the replacement of both front lens and back cover. The replacement of the front lens is done in the same way as explained previously on page 19. With regard to the head back cover, it must be replaced for a heavier one, in order to give the proper counterbalance between the front and the back of the fixture.
SGM Vacuum Test Kit The Vacuum Test Kit is an accessory suitable for all SGM IP-rated fixtures, made for testing the IP validity after having reassembled the fixture. In order to ensure the IP-rating of the G-4 Series, it’s highly recommended that the fixture is always vacuum tested after installing or swapping any part that might compromise the IP-rating, e.g.,...
Off: fixture is off or indicator LED is set to auto dimming. Connecting DMX and AC power DMX-in and DMX-out are in the same cable. See more in figure 23 about the SGM POI DMX cable. Power is wired as the standard version. See “Connecting AC power” on page 9.

Connecting a wireless transmitter in POI In POI versions with wireless it is necessary to pair the fixture with a new transmitter (by default the fixture is linked to the SGM factory transmitter). In order to do so, take the magnet that comes with the fixture, place it close to the LED indicator, and wait 3 seconds. The LED indicator will blink in orange to show that it can be paired to a new transmitter.
Cleaning SGM luminaires with IP65 or IP66-rating do not need any cleaning procedures inside the fixture. However, cleaning the front lens may be needed to achieve the maximum light output after exposure to dust, sand, or dirt. Exterior housing can also be cleaned to get a better look.
