WARNING! READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAREFULLY BE- FORE UNPACKING, INSTALLING, POWERING OR OPERATING THE DEVICE. SGM fixtures are intended for professional use only. They are not suitable for household use. Les fixtures SGM sont impropre à l’usage domestique. Uniquement à usage professionnel.
All users of SGM luminaires should regularly clean those parts of the luminaire directly exposed to the elements, such as the external housing and front lenses. Additionally, all owners of SGM luminaires must periodically check the external housing of the luminaire for structural breaks, components in bad shape, cracked lenses, or loose screws.
All SGM fixtures have locking points in the base for installation and rig- Ø 18 mm ging. In both standard and POI fixtures, the distance between the [ 0,7in ] points from center to center is always 106 mm.
M-10 key until they are fully attached to the base. Figure 3 : Installing the Q-7 4. Hang the fixture on a truss or other structure. Tighten the clamp/bracket. 5. Verify that there are no combustible materials, cables, or surfaces to be illuminated within 0.3 m (12 in.) of the fixture.
WARNING! ALWAYS SECURE AN ELEVATED FIXTURE WITH A SAFETY WIRE. ALWAYS USE A SAFETY WIRE OF A GRADE AISI 316 STEEL. MAKE SURE THE SLACK OF THE SAFETY WIRE IS AT A MINIMUM. NEVER USE THE YOKE/HAN- DLE FOR SECONDARY ATTACHMENT. Fasten a safety wire (not shown) between the load-bearing support structure and the safety wire attachment point on the device.
IP-rated XLR connectors suitable for outdoor use. Terminate the DMX out cable of the last fixture in the data link with a 120 ohm DMX termination. Note that SGM fixtures provide a passive DMX Thru signal as DMX Out, instead of an active output signal. PLEASE NOTE! FOR POI VERSIONS, PLEASE REFER TO “INSTALLATION POI FIXTURE”...
ATTACHING THE CRMX™ WIRELESS ANTENNA The CRMX™ wireless receiver antenna is an included accessory and is recommended for long-range wireless opera- tion. Before connecting the wireless receiver, ensure that there is no DMX cable connected to the fixture. For long-range operation, replace the factory default cone antenna with the supplied wireless CRMX™...

PLEASE NOTE! POI FIXTURES SHOULD BE PRE-SET WITH ANY CUSTOM PROGRAMMING BEFORE INSTALLA- TION. ALTHOUGH MOST FUNCTIONS ARE POSSIBLE TO BE SET VIA RDM ONCE MOUNTED IN POSITION, IT IS EASIER TO DO CONFIGURATION AND ANY TROUBLESHOOTING BEFORE MOUNTING IS COMPLETE. UNPACKING Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged during transport.
CONNECTING TEMPORARY SIGNAL The fixture is compatible with DMX512 (ANSI E1.11 – 2008) only. It can be connected using either the SGM POI up-load- er cable, or via the fixture’s built-in CRMX wireless receiver system. STEP 1: Download and install the SGM RDM Addressing tool.
POI fixture. But on POI, these settings are changed through the Addressing Tool. Figure 13: SGM Addressing tool STEP 1: Launch SGM RDM Addressing Tool. Click Full Discovery and look for the green light to illuminate on the fixture. If the green light does not appear, cycle power or refer to troubleshooting.
Figure 14: POI Spanner STEP 1: Using a SGM magnetic spanner tool, place the magnet close to the LED indicator, and wait for 3 seconds. The LED indicator will blink orange for 1-2 seconds, before switching to static green again. The fixture can now be paired to a new transmitter.
MOUNTING All SGM POI fixtures have M10 size attachment points to mount the supplied brackets or directly to a structure. The POI wash fixture may be installed in any orientation and it might take up to two brackets per fixture. Depending on the structure, please use appropriate and secure methods for mounting the Omega brackets.

WALL BRACKET ATTACHMENT Medium 6/8 Series Attach and align the bracket to a surface. The shorter side of the bracket is the side that attaches to a wall surface. There are two slots provided to align the bracket. Using appropriate fas- teners, align and level the bracket.
POI TILT LOCK The fixture can be tilted in any orientation. To adjust the tilt angle in POI fixtures: • Loosen the two tilt lock kobs (one on each side) by turning them counter-clockwise using the small pig-nose key. Knobs are loosened by turn- ing counter-clockwise.
DMX signal, like to RS-485 signal protocol. DMX in and DMX out are in the same cable. See more in figure above about the SGM POI DMX cable. For permanent installations, have a qualified electrician wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit.
In order to do so, make sure the fixture is powered on before taking the following steps: • STEP 1: Using a SGM magnetic spanner tool, place the magnet close to the LED indicator, and wait for 3 sec- onds. The LED indicator will blink orange for 1-2 seconds, before switching to static green again. The fixture can now be paired to a new transmitter.
USER INTERFACE The fixture can be set up by using the control panel and OLED multi-line display on fixture’s head or through RDM. PLEASE NOTE! IN POI VERSIONS THE DISPLAY IS REPLACED BY AN INDICATOR LIGHT. THE ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE THROUGH RDM. SEE “POI PERMANENT OUTDOOR INSTALLATION”...
DISPLAY OPERATIONAL MODE (A) Displays the current mode (quick color, stand-alone, or DMX mode). The fixture is set by default to be controlled in DMX mode. 6CH CTC MODE (107) DMX ADDRESS (B) A - Operational mode Displays the current DMX address. The DMX address is al- B - DMX address tered directly from this view.
CONFIGURING THE DEVICE FOR DMX CONTROL ABOUT DMX The fixture can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller on a number of DMX channels. DMX is the USITT DMX512-A standard, based on the RS-485 standard. The signal is sent as DMX data from a console (or a controller) to the fixtures via a shielded twisted pair cable designed for RS-485 devices.
FULL COLOR CALIBRATION AND COLOR TEMPERATURE CORRECTION (Q-7 ONLY) • Most DMX channels: Possibility to choose between raw or white-calibrated color (6500K default) via the Control Menu (SETTINGS → WHITE CALIBRATED). • RGB DMX modes: Features full color calibration (irrespective of current color setting) when 2 or 3 colors are mixed, to ensure uniform color mixing between products.
SETTING A STATIC COLOR MANUALLY The standard fixture can be configured to display a predefined and static color. To set up a static color select ENTER → MANUAL → QUICK COLOR. Note that, once the MANUAL → QUICK COLOR settings are changed, the fixture will be set, by default, to automatical- ly start in quick color mode whenever it is powered on.
Q-7 Series offers the ability to adjust the refresh rate (frequency) in order to achieve flicker-free performance. In the Q-7 menu, go to SETTINGS → REFRESH RATE. Here you are able to set the refresh rate (frequency) of the LEDs to be: •...

SUPPORTED RDM FUNCTIONS he Q-7 Series features support for various RDM functions. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a protocol enhancement to USITT DMX512 that allows bi-directional commu- nication between the fixtures and the controller over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, sta- tus monitoring, and management.
The Q-7 Series have available an optional floorstand, ideal when there is a frequent need of changing the position of the fixture between hang- ing and standing. The Q-7 floorstand it is easy to mount or remove, simply by the use of 1/4 turn fasteners. Figure 26 : Floorstand...
