Configuring the device for DMX control DMX Start address The G-7 Spot can be operated in different DMX modes. For any of the modes, the first channel used to receive data from a DMX control device is known as the DMX start address. For independent control, each G-7 Spot must be assigned its own DMX start address.

Fixture properties Flipping the OLED display If the fixture is installed hanging upside down, it might be useful to flip the display so that it is easier to read. To flip the display go to “SETTINGS → DISPLAY FLIP” in the menu, or press the up and down buttons on the control panel at the same time. Setting the display saver By default the OLED display dims down after a short period when the control panel is not in use, but it can also be set to turn off completely.
Gobo replacement Replacing the gobos To replace one or more gobos: 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2. Position the head upwards and apply the tilt lock. 3. Before removing one of the rear head covers, identify where the rotating gobo wheel is located (same side as the power and DMX connectors).
Replacing a gobo in a gobo holder Remove the defective/old gobo from the gobo holder. Place the new gobo with silver side towards the light source. Align both index marks of the gobo and the gobo holder, as shown below. Insert the gobo holder and align it with the index mark in the gobo wheel, as shown below.
