Preparing for installation
Unpacking
Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged during transport.
The G-7 BeaSt is shipped with:
•
2m (78 in.) power cable with IP connector
•
Two omega brackets with 1/4-turn fasteners
•
Safety information leaflet
Location / application
The fixture is IP66-rated and designed for both indoor and outdoor events. This means that it is protected from:
•
Dust, to the degree that dust cannot enter the device in sufficient quantities as to interfere with its operation.
•
Pressure jets of water from any direction.
When selecting a location for the device, ensure that:
•
It is situated away from public thoroughfares and protected from contact with people.
• It is not immersed in water.
•
It has adequate ventilation.
When using the fixture with a DMX controller ensure that:
•
According to RS485 standard, the DMX out of the last fixture should be terminated with a 120 Ohm resistor between pin 2 and 3.
•
If the resistor is not installed, make sure that the DMX out is properly sealed by mounting the protection cap, in accordance
with the ingress protection (IP) requirements.
•
A maximum of 32 fixtures are allowed to be connected to the same DMX link.
Transportation
•
Always use the supplied packaging or suitable flight case for transportation and storage.
•
Release the tilt lock when transporting the fixture. Leaving the tilt lock blocked may cause damage to the fixture.
•
Never carry the fixture by connected cables or wires, use the handles.
Installing/ Rigging the G-7 BeaSt
All SGM luminaries have locking points at the base for installation and rigging. The
distance between the points from centre to centre is always 106 mm (Fig. 2). The base
of the standard G-7 BeaSt include 1/4 turn fastener cam locks to mount the omega
brackets. For further details of the bracket dimensions see page: 25, or contact SGM
support.
The G-7 BeaSt may be installed in any orientation, with or without base, on the ceiling
or on a wall surface.
Always use the supplied omega brackets and lock with 1/4-turn fasteners (fig 3).
N.B.: The 1/4-turn fasteners are only locked when turned fully clockwise.
Depending on the structure, please use appropriate and secure methods for mounting the Omega bracket.
