Upgrading the firmware
The firmware installed on the fixture can be identified in two ways:
•
When powering on the fixture, the display will show the currently installed firmware
•
Go to the MENU → INFO → SOFTWARE VERSION
We recommend that the fixture’s firmware is always up-to-date.
The latest G-4 Series firmware version is available for download under the respective product at www.sgmlight.com.
To update your G-4 Series with the latest firmwaxre use an SGM USB 5-Pin-XLR uploader cable, and a Windows-based computer
with the SGM Firmware Tool software installed. The Firmware Tool is also available for download at www.sgmlight.com.
Additionally, the Firmware Tool software offers a simple DMX controller featuring 512 DMX channels for test purposes.
Cleaning
SGM luminaires with IP65 or IP66-rating do not need any cleaning procedures inside the fixture. However, cleaning the front lens may
be needed to achieve the maximum light output after exposure to dust, sand, or dirt. Exterior housing can also be cleaned to get a
better look. To maintain adequate cooling, fans must be cleaned periodically.
Whenever necessary, clean the G-4 Series using a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and a mild detergent. Do not use
products that contain solvents, abrasives, or caustic agents for cleaning, as they can cause damage to both hardware, cables, and
connectors.
The level of cleaning required will vary greatly depending on the operating environment and installation. It should therefore be
checked at frequent intervals within the first few weeks of operation to see how often cleaning is necessary.
