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.
BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT VISUAL INSPECTION All users of the SGM fixtures should regularly clean those parts of the fixture directly exposed to the elements, such as the external housing and front lenses. Additionally, all owners of the SGM fixtures must periodically check the external housing of the fixture for structural breaks, deteri- oration, cracked lenses, or loose screws.
OVERVIEW The P-3 series of fixtures are designed to provide even and powerful washes over various flat surfaces such as stages and building facades. The range features multiple beam angles, LED engines and control protocols. P-3 is an exterior, IP66 rated product intended for permanent or temporary mounting.
Testing the fixture for proper function is also recommended. During testing, configuration and addressing can be done. The P-3 is an addressable product and is most efficiently configured before installation. This is especially true in installations where the fixtures will be in inaccessible areas.
All SGM fixtures have locking points in the base for installation and rigging. In both standard and POI fixtures, the distance between the points from center to center is always 106 mm. Standard versions include 1/4 turn fasteners to mount SGM omega brackets.
0.3 m (12 in.) of the fixture. Step 6. Check that there is no risk of the head/yoke colliding with other fixtures or structures. Figure 3 : Installing the P-3 Product Version 1.0 | Revision A | Released 2023-10-19...
SAFETY WIRE Fasten a safety wire (not shown) between the load-bear- ing support structure and the safety wire attachment point on the device. The safety cable (not included in the package) must: • Bear at least 10 times the weight of the device (SWL).
PLEASE NOTE! APPLICABLE TO P-3 VISION AND WASH VARIANTS ONLY. The P-3 Vision and Wash are designed to work with an arraying bracket which locks the fixtures together in x and y axis. This bracket aligns the fixtures only, they are not designed to be self-supporting.
P-3 VISION AND WASH POWER The power input required is 100–277 V, 50/ 60 Hz AC mains power supply, and draws a maximum of 360 Watts (P-3 Vision) or 330W (P-3 Wash) . Both are connected to power via “Powercon” type connectors. Power plug is as per local code.
For outdoor installations, use only IP65-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. PLEASE NOTE! SGM FIXTURES PROVIDE A PASSIVE DMX THRU SIGNAL AS DMX OUT, INSTEAD OF AN ACTIVE OUTPUT SIGNAL.
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. The OLED display shows the current status and menu of the fixture. It is used to configure individual fixture settings and read error messages.
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. FIXTURE UNIVERSE (B) Displays the current fixture universe. The universe is al- tered directly from this view. DMX ADDRESS (C) Figure 10: Display Displays the current DMX address.
CONFIGURATION P-3 Vision and Wash are configured using either the user interface or SGM software; the SGM software, the SGM RDM Addressing Tool. This software is Windows® PC based and connects to the fixtures via DMX512/RDM using the SGM USB uploader cable.
MANUAL OPERATION 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.
Fig 15: RDM Addressing Tool STEP 1: Launch SGM RDM Addressing Tool. Click Full Discovery and look for the fixture to show in the table. STEP 2: Select the standard settings tab and enter a DMX address and a personality/mode of operation. These modes must match the control mode in the controller which will control the fixture.
SETTINGS → FAN MODE in the menu. LED ENGINE All variants in the P-3 Series feature 18 high-power multichip LEDs. These are either RGBW or Tunable White LEDs, divided into 3 individually controllable segments.
SUPPORTED 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. A RDM controller is needed to get control over the supported parameters. See the tables below for supported RDM functions.
OPERATION FROM A SINGLE CONTROLLER The P-3 Vision can be controlled from either one or two controllers at the same time. When Hybrid Mode is disabled, the fixture will behave as a standard lighting fixture in the sense that it will only receive and use data from a single controller.
How to use the Crossfade channel? The Crossfade channel is a DMX channel that is present as the last one in every P-3 Vision DMX Mode. It allows the lighting operator to choose whether the Vision Section outputs RGB content from the lighting controller or the media server or a mix of both.
