For a temporary outdoor installation, the mains cable must be fitted with a grounded connector intended for exterior use. For
permanent installations, have a qualified electrician to wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit. The junction's
ingress protection (IP) rating must be suitable for the location. Always use a junction box with a proper IP class suitable for the
environment.
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.
PLEASE NOTE!
The protective caps must be securely mounted on any unused DMX and power connectors, in order to maintain the ingress
protection (IP-rating).
CAUTION!!
Do not connect the fixture to an electrical dimmer system, as doing so may cause damage.

Configuring the device

The Q-8 can be set up by using the control panel and OLED multiline display on the fixture's head or through RDM.
The OLED display is the human interface of the fixture, as it displays the current status and menu of the fixture. The display panel
(See figure 8) can be used to configure individual fixture settings, check the fixture's wireless status, confirm the firmware version,
and read error messages. The complete list of the menu and all commands available are listed in "Control menu" on page 13.
Before turning on the Q-8, make sure the power in cable is properly connected. To turn off the device, simply disconnect power in
cable. When the fixture is powered on, it boots and resets before displaying the currently selected operating mode and the DMX
start address. Navigate through the menus and options using the arrow buttons, and select items using the ENTER button.
