Avoid personal injury WARNING! Take measure to prevent personal injury. • Do not look directly at the light source from close range. • Take precautions to prevent injury due to falls when working at height. • For permanent installation, ensure that the device is securely fastened to a load-bearing surface with suitable corrosion- resistant hardware.
White Emitter LED’s. The P-5 W is similar, but incorporating white-emitting LEDs. The P-5 TW offers the ability to adjust white color temperature to 2200, 3000, 4000 or 5300K. The P-5’s all provide built-in wireless DMX support, stand-alone programs, dimming, and a lamp life expectancy of 50,000 hours*. The P-5’s also offer a variation of beam angles with 15°, 21°...

Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged during transport. ™ The P-5 is shipped with two quarter-turn brackets, that can be used to mount the device at elevation, and a W-DMX wireless antenna.
Installing the P-5 The P-5 may be installed in any orientation, but if installed horizontally with a downward beam-angle, water can potentially pool in the fan wells. Under normal operation the moisture will evaporate. However, in loca- tions with high rainfall, you may wish to fab-...

Two quarter-turn brackets are supplied with the device if it is to be flown above the ground. Remove the floor stand/base and rig the P-5 to a support truss or structure using the supplied brackets and suitable clamps. Fasten a safety cable (not shown) between the support structure and the attachment point on the device.
Connecting AC Power The P-5 can operate on any 208–240 V, 50/60 Hz AC mains power supply. It draws approximately 2 amps at full power. For permanent installation, have a qualified electrician wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit. ...
Configuring the device using an Android telephone via RFID P-5 devices can also be configured wirelessly, via RFID, using the SGM Tool app installed on an Android smart phone that has NFC support (ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 compatible, operating on 13.56 MHz ±7k Hz carrier frequency).
Master/Slave configuration You can set a P-5 device to operate as master device to another P-5 device (which then becomes a slave device), or an entire group of P-5 devices (which then becomes slave devices). The assigned slave device(s) will mimic the settings of the master...
Setting a static color manually The device can be configured to display a predefined and static color using the “Manual→Quick color” menus (see “Control menu” on page 31). Note that whenever the “Manual→Quick color” settings are changed, the device will be set by default to automatically start in quick color mode whenever it is powered on.
Using stand-alone operation Stand-alone operation is where the device is not connected to a control device, but is preprogrammed with a series of up to 24 scenes, that play continuously in a loop. Up to three stand-alone programs can be defined and run from the menus, and one of the programs can be set to run by default whenever the device is started.
Connecting to a DMX control device The device is controllable using a DMX control device and it can be connected using either a DMX cable or via the P-5’s built- in wireless receiver system. If using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX in cable (with male 5-pin XLR plug) and out cable (with female 5-pin XLR plug) to the DMX data link.
™ The W-DMX G4 wireless receiver is supplied with the P-5 as an alternative to the wireless cone antenna receiver. Before you attach the wireless receiver, ensure that there is no DMX cable connected to the device. Attach the wireless DMX an- tenna to the connector on the back of the device.
The first channel used to receive data from a DMX control device is known as the DMX start address. Each P-5 must have a DMX start address set. For example, if a P-5 has a DMX address of 10 and it is in 3-channel DMX mode, then it uses channels 10, 11, and 12.
Using the “DMX mode” menu available from the control panel, specify the DMX mode that provides the device controls that you require: P-5 DMX modes Function Individual control of color channels for red, green & blue. White is automatically mixed in.

P-5 TW DMX modes Function Dimmer & white temperature control (2200k-5300K) White temperature control (2200K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5300K) Dimmer, white temperature control (2200K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5300K), shutter, strobe, pulse and open shutter effects. Fine and coarse control of white temperatures (2200K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5300K)
Full Color Calibration and Color Temperature Correction (P-5 only) All channel modes except 3 Channel Mode RGB: Lets you choose between raw or white-calibrated color (6500K default) via the Control Menu (“Settings→White Calibrated”) 3 Channel Mode RGB: Features full color calibration (irrespective of current color setting) when you mix 2 or 3 colors to ensure uniform color between products.
Linear control provides uniform adjustment throughout the control action, whereas gamma corrected dimming provides finer control at low light levels, where the eye is more sensitive to change. By default, the P-5 uses gamma corrected dimming. For uniform response, set all devices to the same dimming curve. To set the desired dimming curve, use the “Settings→Dimming curve”...
Setting the fan mode For operating environments where low-noise is a requirement or where the device will be operating in high temperatures, it is possible to adjust the default fan speed to low or high using the “Settings→Fan mode” menu.
Service Apart from the lens module, there are no user-serviceable components in the device. Do not open the P-5, as doing so is likely to damage the ingress protection. Consult your SGM dealer if the device operates abnormally, is defective or otherwise in need of service or repair.

Dismantle the front and unscrew the highlighted front plugs with an Unbrako 6/HOP6 Allen key. Take out the lens module. Place the new lens on the PCB print spacers and carefully press the lens module in place.
Page 30
Screw in the highlighted front plugs with an Unbrako 6/HOP6 Allen key (Nm 1,0) and place three Silica Gel bags (not included in lens kit) as shown. Place the sealing frame (facing upwards - see below) on top of the lens module.
If in doubt, consult your SGM dealer for a suitable maintenance schedule. Clean the P-5 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.
