1.3 Electrical S ecifications
DANGER!!
1 CLASS FIXTURE, GROUND NEEDED!
POWER REQUIREMENTS: Univesal 90V-245 V 50Hz,60Hz.
POWER ABSORBED: 1000W@230V 50Hz
PROTECTION FUSES: 2x16 Amp
ADDITIONAL ELECTRONICAL PROTECTIONS:
In addiction to the tradictional electrical fuse protection, Synthesis is fitted with sophisticated
electronical systems able to protect the fixture from overvoltage or dangerous low voltage, avoiding,
in this way, damages to the electronic boards as usually happens in these kind of situations. The
electronic ballast fitted as standard, allows a wide possibility to use the fixture with any power
supply included between 90-240 Volts 50 or 60 Hz, exposing anyway Synthesis to the more common
risks in the electrical installations on mondial level (neutral detachment or fluctuating low voltage).
For this reason SGM has developed a system able to protect Synthesis from the common problems of
the electrical installation, making everything transparent to the end user. The protections are:
1. Protections against the overvoltage.
In case of power supply over 280 Vrms, due to the neutral detachment, the internal protection detects
the overvoltage preventing the fixture’s switching on. The display, powered by the internal battrey, will
show the error message "POW R OV RVOLTAG "
2. Protections against the low voltage.
This second case involves all those countries where the power supply is 100-120Volts. In this
second case we can meet two different situations:
In the first situation, we have a fixture already powered at 100 Volts and, for some reasons,
the power supply lowers under 80 Volts. In this case, Synthesis detects the low voltage but
keeps on working normally. If this situation lasts for a long time, then the internal
temperatures will increase until the temperature protections won’t stop the internal
powering.
In the second situation, Synthesis is not yet powered and, by swithcing on the fixture, it
immediately detects that the voltage is already under 80 Volts. In this case, the internal
protection will provide to lock the fixture immediately.

Before installing the fixture check that the power supply cable AC is
disconnected.
1. Wiring and connection work must be carried out by experienced qualified staff.
2. Class one equipment must be earthed (grounded)
3. Do not power Synthesis units with dimmers, as this could damage their on-board power supply
4. Before connecting the unit, make certain that the mains power supply is the same as indicated
on the fixture’s ID plate
5. The unit must be protected by a thermal/magnetic circuit-breaker

CONSTRUCTION OF THE SIGNAL CABLE
Synthesis Spot has a DMX 512 input fitted which uses standard XLR 5 Pins connector.
For the connection use screened cables having the IA RS-485 specifications with the following
features:
2 conductors plus screen
120 ohm impendance- low capacity
Max transmission speed 250 Kbaud.
CABLES CONNECTIONS
see illustration, taking care with the screen, which
must be connected to Pin 1
ATTENTION!!: the screened parts of the cable (sleeve) must NEVER be
connected to the system's earth, as this would cause faulty fixture and
controller operation.
Example of connection of the DMX line:
To avoid the risk of faulty operation, follow these indications:
Maximum cable length: 500 m
Max. N° of fixtures connected: 32 units
Cable runs: Avoid running cables alongside power supply lines.
Termination: A 120 Ohm resistor between Pins 2 and 3 on the last fixture.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE DMX TERMINATION
The termination avoids the risk of DMX 512 signals being reflected back along the cable when they
reaches the end of the line:
under certain conditions and with certain cable lengths, this could cause them to cancel the original
signals.
The termination is prepared by soldering a 120Ohm 1/4 W resistor between pins 2 and 3 of the 5-pin
male XLR connector (see diagram).
WIRELESS DMX
Synthesis is the world’s first moving head fixture fitted with wireless DMX as standard. It uses a
technology based on the idea of GSM, with a radius over 500 meters.
It has been widely tested in environments with WiFi, bluetooth, GPRS-UMTS signals, with excellent
results.
If you want to use the wireless DMX protocol instead of the cable, proceed as follows:
For the wireless connection you need a specific transmitter (code 0097035)
Synthesis has 2 menus dedicated to the wireless: 1-WIR L SS LOG OFF and 2-WIR L SS
The procedure to activate the wireless communication is very easy:
1. nter the LOG OFF menu and confirm the S T option. This function disables all the
communications previously enabled.
2. Set the WIR L SS on ON. This will enable a new communication.
3. Press the LOG key on the Transmitter to connect the receiver placed on the fixture to the
wireless transmitter.
RDM (REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT)
RDM stands for Remote Device Management. This is the colloquial name for the ANSI 1.20 standard
in development at STA. RDM is intended to allow bi-directional communication over the DMX512
cable. This will occur on the twisted pair connected to pins 2 and 3. This same pair of wires is used
to transmit data from the console to the dimmers or moving lamps.
The large benefit of this approach as opposed to using the spare pins 4 and 5, is that RDM can be
retrofitted to installations wired with single pair cable.
RDM will provide the following benefits:
1. Ability for the console to set the base address of the lamp. There will no longer be a need for DIP
switches.
2. Plug and Play. The console will be able to search all the DMX512 devices and then automatically
patch them.
3. Fixture Personality: it will be possible for the console to use RDM to download personalities direct
from the moving lamp.
4. RDM devices can be firmware upgraded via the DMX signal.
5. RDM devices can send status and fault information back to the console.
6. By allowing bi-directional communication, it will be much easier to mix DMX installation with
sophisticated thernet protocols such as Art-Net and ACN.

RS-232 CONNECTION
For this connection, use good quality screened coax cable (RG58 50Ohms) to avoid problems with
signal transmission and faulty fixture operation. Connectors must always be 5-pin XLRs.
