Connecting to a DMX control device

The Q-10 Series is controllable using a DMX control device, and it can be connected using either a DMX cable, or via the fixture's
built-in CRMX wireless receiver system.
When using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX-In cable to the input connector and DMX-Out cable to the output, both on
the rear of the fixture's base (chassis mounted male and female 5-pin XLR plugs). For outdoor installations, use only IP-rated XLR
connectors suitable for outdoor use.
In standard fixtures, if using a wireless DMX system, remember to use the protective caps in any unused DMX connector in order to
maintain the fixtures' IP-rating. For POI versions, please refer to pages 16-17 to see how to connect DMX and AC power.
NOTE: SGM fixtures provide a passive DMX Thru signal as DMX Out, instead of an active output signal.
Connecting a wireless transmitter
The Q-10 is designed to look for wireless transmitters in 'connect' state, when this option is not yet enabled.
To connect the Q-10 to a wireless transmitter:
Log off the currently paired wireless transmitter - see below "Disconnecting a wireless transmitter".
Press the connect button on the wireless transmitter.
Confirm that the fixture has paired with the wireless transmitter.
Note: for POI versions, refer to page 17 to see how to connect to a wireless transmitter.
Disconnecting a wireless transmitter
To disconnect the fixture from the currently paired wireless transmitter, go to SETTINGS → WIRELESS DMX → LOG OFF in the
menu.
Note: for POI versions, refer to page 17 to see how to disconnect from a wireless transmitter.
Signal priority
The Q-10 can be paired to an active wireless transmitter simultaneously, when connected to a cabled DMX. The fixture will prioritize
cabled DMX over wireless DMX.
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 version with wireless, the DMX signal strength can only be checked through RDM.
