Power indicator
A power indicator is located on the bottom of the G-1 Beam base unit and can have three possible states with three different colors:
green, orange and red.
These states are explained below.
G-1 Beam base with one or more batteries (up to three batteries)
Operating from AC power
Green = Fixture is idle or off/charging and battery level is above 75%, or fixture is in use and battery level is above 75%.
Orange = Fixture is idle or off/charging and battery level is below 75%.
Red = Fixture is in use/not charging and battery level is below 75%.
Operating from battery
Green = Battery level is above 75%.
Red = Battery level is below 75%.
G-1 Beam base with one or more batteries
Operating from AC power without batteries installed
Green = Power is on, light is off.
Red = Power is on, light is on.

AC power, battery and charging (POI n/a)
The standard G-1 Beam offers the possibility to be acquired with optional batteries, allowing the fixture to run independent from any
AC power source. A base unit delivered without the battery option can have the batteries inserted at a later stage, in quantities of
one, two or three.
When the standard G-1 Beam is equipped with charged batteries and connected to AC power, the fixture will not turn off if the power is
disconnected. If a standard G-1 Beam runs on battery power when AC power is connected, AC power will take over operation. When
AC power is disconnected, the fixture will return to run on battery power (if not discharged).
Having the G-1 Beam been turned off due to continuous resistance to the pan & tilt (forcing it away from position for a prolonged
period), the G-1 Beam can then be turned back on by sending a full reset by DMX (only when connected to AC power).
If running on batteries, the G-1 Beam can be turned back on by pressing and holding any button on the display panel for approximately
1 sec.
Battery charging and use
The batteries are charging in the following scenarios, when connected to AC power:
•
When the fixture is off.
•
When the fixture is on but idle / not in use.
The batteries do not charge while the fixture is in active use, e.g. when the light source is on,or pan/tilt is in use, etc.
•
Charging from a completely discharged state to full voltage and 70% of full capacity, 8-12 hours.*
•
Charging from a completely discharged state to full voltage and 100% of full capacity, 12-16 hours.*
The base unit can also be charged without the head unit attached.
When using the G-1 Beam running on battery power the estimated battery capacity is:
•
Battery capacity non-stop use 7-9 hours.*
•
Battery capacity typical use 12-14 hours.*
After 500 full cycles the expected battery capacity will be 85%* of the initial capacity. (Full cycle = 0% to 100% to 0%).
If the batteries are not fully charged/discharged, the number of cycles are higher.
* Under the manufacturer’s test conditions.
