SGM Uploader cable
The SGM USB to DMX cable is an accessory used mainly to update the fixture with the
latest SGM firmware. See below how to update the fixture with the latest firmware.
The SGM Uploader cable is also used for controlling the DMX values channel by
channel through the Firmware Uploader Tool software (available for download at
www.sgmlight.com).
Upgrading the firmware
The firmware installed in the fixture can be identified in different ways:
•
When powering on the fixture, the display shows the current installed firmware version (only standard).
•
Go to MENU → INFO → FIRMWARE VERSION (only standard).
• Through RDM.
We recommend that the fixture’s firmware is always up-to-date.
The latest firmware version is available for download under the
respective product at www.sgmlight.com.
To update your G-1 Beam (POI) with the latest firmware, use an SGM USB 5-Pin-XLR uploader cable, and a Windows-based com
-
puter with the SGM Firmware Tool software installed (available for download at www.sgmlight.com).
Additionally, the Firmware Tool software offers a simple DMX controller featuring 512 DMX channels for test purposes.
SGM Vacuum Test kit
The Vacuum Test Kit is an accessory suitable for all SGM IP-rated fixtures, made for testing the IP
validity after having reassembled the fixture.
In order to ensure the IP-rating of the G-1 Beam (POI), it’s highly recommended that the fixture is
always vacuum tested after installing or swapping any part that might compromise the IP-rating.
SGM disclaims liability for any damage occasioned by the non-use, or inability to use, the vacuum
test kit after reassembling the fixture.
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
afte 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-1 Beam 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 hardware, cables, and connectors.
The level of cleaning required will vary greatly depending on the operating environment and
installation. When the G-1 Beam is used hanging outdoor for prolonged periods of time,it is
essential to keep the drain around the DMX connectors under the base clean and free from
accumulated dust, dirt, foliage etc. Therefore, it is recommended to do frequent check-ups the
first few weeks of operation to see how often cleaning is necessary.
