Connecting to a DMX control device

The G-7 BeaSt 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 using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX IN cable to the input connector (male 5-pin XLR plug), and the DMX OUT to the 

output connector (female 5-pin XLR plug), both connectors on the rear of the fixture’s base. For outdoor events, use at least I 

P66-rated or higher XLR connectors. 

NOTE!
If using a wireless DMX system, remember to use the protective caps in any unused DMX connector in order to maintain 

the fixture’s IP-rating.

Connecting a wireless transmitter

The G-7 BeaSt is designed to look for wireless transmitters in ‘connect’ status, even if this option is not yet enabled.
To connect the G-7 BeaSt to a wireless transmitter:

• 

Log off the currently paired wireless transmitter (by default the fixture is linked to the SGM factory transmitter). 

See “Disconnecting a wireless transmitter” below. 

• 

While in the WIRELESS DMX menu; make sure the fixture's wireless is enabled.

• 

Press the connect button on the wireless transmitter.

• 

Confirm that the fixture has paired with the wireless transmitter.

Disconnecting a wireless transmitter

To disconnect the fixture from the currently paired wireless transmitter, go to:
 SETTINGS → WIRELESS DMX → LOG OFF.

Signal priority

The G-7 BeaSt can be paired to an active wireless transmitter simultaneously as being connected to cabled DMX. The fixture will     

prioritize cabled DMX over wireless DMX.
The active input type is displayed under the wireless signal strength indicator. The signal strength can be also be checked via RDM 

data by using an external RDM device (e.g. the SGM A-4).

Configuring the device for DMX control

About DMX

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.
The G-7 BeaSt can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller on a number of DMX channels, which varies depending 

on the DMX mode that has been set. Visit www.sgmlight.com

 to see all DMX charts under the respective product, or upon request 

via [email protected]

.

The cables can be daisy chained between the fixtures, with a possibility of having connected up to 32 fixtures on the same DMX 

link. Up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) of cable is achievable with high quality DMX cables. All DMX links must be terminated in the last 

fixture by connecting a DMX termination plug to the last fixture´s 5 pin DMX out connector.

PLEASE NOTE: 

• 

Standard microphone cable is not suitable for transmitting DMX.

• 

Up to 32 fixtures can be linked to the same DMX chain. Additional fixtures will overload the link.

• 

The last fixture must always be fitted with a DMX termination plug to the fixture’s DMX out.
