Quick Installation Guide

• This leaflet is merely a quick installation guide for SGM moving head and  SGM stationary lights, containing important safety information.
• For detailed information, please always consult the user manual of the product, available for download at www.sgmlight.com.

Unpacking

• Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged during transport.

Connecting AC power

• Please check the product label of the fixture to get the correct voltage range.
• Connect the fixture to AC power by mounting a power connector to the bare-ended mains cable using the power cable coding given in the table below.
• Connect the black wire to the live
• Connect the white wire to the neutral
• Connect the green/yellow wire to the ground (earth)
• The fixture must be grounded/earthed and able to be isolated from AC power. The AC power supply must incorporate a fuse or circuit breaker for fault protection.
• For temporary outdoor installations, the mains cable must be fitted with a grounded connector intended for exterior use. For permanent installation have a qualified electrician to wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit.
• When installed, we recommend keeping SGM fixtures powered on, so the dehumidifiers perform properly. The junction’s ingress protection (IP rating) must be suitable for the location.
• After connecting a fixture to power, run the on-board test by selecting TEST → AUTOMATED TEST in the menu, to ensure that the fixture and each LED are functioning correctly (standard products only).
• Check the user manual for more information about the control panel menu (POI n.a.).
• NOTE: When using a power link connection, make sure the maximum power capacity is not exceeded to avoid short-circuiting and damaging the fixture.
• CAUTION!! Do not connect the fixture to an electrical dimmer system, as doing so may cause damage.

Connecting to a DMX control device

• The fixture 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 if included.
• When using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX-In cable to the input connector and the DMX-Out cable to the output, both located on the rear of the fixture’s base (male and female 5-pin XLR plugs).
• For outdoor events, use at least IP65-rated XLR connectors. Remember to terminate the DMX-Out cable of the last fixture in the data link.
• If using a wireless DMX system, remember to connect or cover any unused DMX-In and DMX-Out connectors to maintain the fixtures’ IP rating.
• For POI versions, please refer to the next pages to see how to connect to DMX.
• NOTE: SGM fixtures provide a passive DMX Thru signal as DMX Out, instead of an active output signal.

POI Permanent Outdoor Installation

• The POI versions are designed for permanent outdoor installation and have higher ingress protection. With a C5-M corrosion resistance class, the POI versions are specially designed for use in maritime and offshore environments.

Physical differences

• The POI version differs from the standard version by having fixed-chassis power DMX cables and heavy-duty cable glands. The display, RFID, and control panel have been removed.

Configuration

• The POI version is configured exclusively via RDM (Remote Device Management). Thus, the DMX start address, DMX mode, etc. are configured either using an external RDM controller or via the SGM RDM Addressing tool.
• All DMX charts are available at sgmlight.com under the respective products, or upon request via support@sgmlight.com.

LED indicator

• The POI fixtures have an LED indicator that shows the current status of the fixture. The LED indicator is usually located in the base, in the yoke, or at the top of the fixture’s head (depending on the type of fixture).
• The LED indicator can have three possible colors in three possible stages: static, flashing, or off.
• Static/flashing green: The fixture is powered on and/or receiving a DMX signal.
• Flashing orange (when using a magnet): The fixture is connecting to / disconnecting from an external wireless transmitter.
• Static/flashing red: an error message is stored; review via the SGM RDM Addressing Tool, reboot the fixture or contact SGM support for diagnostic help.
• Off: The fixture is off or the indicator LED is set to auto-dimming.

POI Quick Installation Guide

Connecting DMX and AC power

• DMX in and DMX out are in the same cable. See more about the SGM POI DMX Cable in the picture on the right.
• Power is wired as the standard version. See “Connecting AC power. For permanent installations, have a qualified electrician to wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit.
• POI products must always be powered on, so humidifiers perform properly. The junction’s ingress protection (IP) rating must be suitable for the location.
• For a temporary installation, the mains cable may be fitted with a grounded connector intended for exterior use.

POI Connection Diagram

POI Spanner

• All the static POI products include a spanner with a magnet, whose function is to establish a connection between the fixture and the wireless transmitter.
• The spanner also has two types of pig-nose keys used for tilt adjustment in POI fixtures. Depending on the type of fixture, it is used either the large or the small pig-nose keys.
• A: Magnet
• B: Pignose for tilt lock – small
• C: Pignose for tilt lock – large

Connecting a wireless transmitter to a POI fixture

• In POI versions with wireless mode, it is necessary to pair the fixture with a new transmitter (by default the device is linked to the SGM factory transmitter).
• In order to do so, take the POI Spanner and place the magnet close to the LED indicator for 3 seconds. The LED indicator will blink orange before switching to green. The fixture can now be paired with a new transmitter.
• Go to the wireless transmitter and press connect” or “link”. Now the third-party transmitter and the internal SGM receiver should be linked together.
• To link the fixture to another transmitter, repeat the process.

Disconnecting a wireless transmitter from a POI fixture

• To disconnect a POI fixture from the currently paired wireless transmitter, simply hold the magnet over the LED indicator.
• The LED blinks orange for 3 seconds and then it changes to green. The fixture is now logged off.

Locking points for installation and rigging

• All SGM luminaries have locking points in the base for installation and rigging. The standard products include 1/4 turn fastener cam locks to mount the omega brackets, while the POI products come with  M-10 nuts for M-10 screws.
• In both standard and POI fixtures, the distance between the points from center to center is always 106 mm.
