MECHANICAL TOLERANCES AND RECOMMENDED USE IN LOW AMBIENT TEMPERA-
TURES
Ambient temperature range for storage, start-up, and operation of G-7 Spot and G-7 Spot POI moving heads is
described at www.sgmlight.com.
All lighting fixtures have mechanical tolerances which can introduce unexpected results when in extreme tempera-
tures. To minimize these undesirable effects in extreme cold, from firmware 1.31 on, the G-7 Spot (both in POI and
non-POI versions) includes a “Heat Up mode” feature accessible via the “Function” DMX channel (DMX chart avail-
able at www.sgmlight.com). This functionality pre-conditions the mechanical systems of the unit during low ambi-
ent temperature periods, without creating a visual impact in the illuminated area. When the user activates the “Heat
Up mode” the fixture warms up by operating the light source at 30% output as well as adjusting other settings. The
CMY flags, CTO and iris functions are also used to block as much light as possible. Pan / tilt movement or gobo
wheels are not affected and will still respond to DMX parameters.
In temperatures below -20º C (-4º F) degrees, main features such as pan and tilt function correctly, while the preci-
sion mechanical features such as gobo indexing may not perform at their maximum accuracy even when using the
“Heat Up mode”. To use the precision mechanical features at their best, when in ambient temperatures below -20º C
(-4º F), a full-output warm-up procedure is advised. See below for more details.
IP66 -Standard version Recommended Operation
The reliability of the main features in the G-7 Spot will not be compromised by the presence of low temperatures as
long as the values indicated in the specifications are respected. To achieve the best performance of the precision
mechanical systems, SGM recommends warming up the internal parts by using the light source at 100% output
before operating the programmed scenes when the fixture is to be used in ambient temperatures below 0º C (32º
F). The required time to warm up the mechanical systems of the unit and for them to function accurately depends
entirely on the ambient conditions. A test on location is advised.
SGM recommends avoiding tight mapping in multiple fixtures such as vertical or horizontal alignment of gobo
projection in extreme conditions. Continued use of these moving parts can sporadically cause deviations from
expected performance. Before attempting repair, it is recommended to remotely reset the fixture via the “Function”
DMX channel (see DMX charts at www.sgmlight.com) and / or power-cycle the fixture. In non-POI devices, it is also
possible to calibrate these functionalities manually via the integrated OLED display.
PLEASE NOTE! THE PROTECTIVE CAPS MUST BE SECURELY MOUNTED ON ANY UNUSED DMX CONNECTORS IN
ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE IP RATING.
PLEASE 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 Spot is designed to look for wireless transmitters in ‘connect’ state when this option is enabled. The fixture
comes tested for wireless functionality from the factory, therefore the beginning of the pairing process is disconnect
from the factory wireless DMX transceiver.
To connect the G-7 Spot to a wireless transmitter:
1. Log off the currently paired wireless transmitter. Go to SETTINGS → WIRELESS DMX → LOG OFF in the menu.
Fixture confirms logged off.
2. Press the connect button on the wireless transmitter.
3. Confirm that the fixture has paired with the wireless transmitter.
PLEASE NOTE! FOR POI VERSIONS, REFER TO "WIRELESS DATA CONNECTION" ON PAGE 18
The G-7 Spot can be paired to an active wireless transmitter simultaneously when connected to a 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
checked via RDM data by using an external RDM device.
