ADDITIONAL L CTRONICAL PROT CTIONS :
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 "POWER OVERVOLTAGE"
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.
LAMP SP CIFICATIONS
Synthesis is fitted with Osram HTI 700W SE/75 lamp.
This lamp is able to generate a color temperature of 7200°K, alternatively the same lamp is available but with
color temperature of 5600°K with a life of 750h.
The lamp is hot restrike, thanks to its electronic ballast, Synthesis can have this function as standard.

C ONSTRUCTION OF TH SIGNAL CABL
Synthesis spot has a DMX 512 input fitted which uses standard XLR 5 Pins connector.
For the connection use screened cables having the EIA RS-485 specifications with the following features:
2 conductors plus screen
120 ohm impendance- low capacity
Max transmission speed 250 Kbaud.
C ABL S CONN CTIONS
see illustration, taking care with the screen, which must
be connected to Pin 1
ATT NTION!!: the screened parts of the cable (sleeve) must N V R be connected to
the system's earth, as this would cause faulty fixture and controller operation.
xample 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 120Ohm resistor between Pins 2 and 3 on the last fixture.

GB SGM Technology for lighting
User Manual 1.00 14 Synthesis
C ONSTRUCTION OF TH DMX T RMINATION
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).
W IR L SS 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-WIRELESS LOG OFF and 2-WIRELESS
The procedure to activate the wireless communication is very easy:
1. Enter the LOG OFF menu and confirm the SET option. This function disables all the communications
previously enabled.
2. Set the WIRELESS 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 (R MOT D VIC M ANAG M NT )
RDM stands for Remote Device Management. This is the colloquial name for the ANSI E1.20 standard in
development at ESTA . 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
Ethernet protocols such as Art-Net and A N.

RS-232 CONN CTION
For this connection, use good quality screened coax cable (RG58 50Ohms) to avoid problems with signal
transmission and faulty fixture operation. onnectors must always be 5-pin XLRs.
Refer to the diagram for wiring.
2.6 Firmware updating
To update the firmware of the fixture you need:
USB-DMX Driver to install the new hardware.
USB-DMX cable to connect the unit to thel P .
Updated software version.
Please follow the below procedure to perform the updating:
1. Install the USB-DMX driver on the P you will use to download the software.
The driver and the instructions to install it will be available in our web site www.sgm.it
2. onnect the USB-DMX cable from the P to the fixture.
3. Download the software.
The software is composed by an upd file and a file with extention .exe, by opening the file .exe the updating will
be enabled automatically.
This software won’t update the microprocessors of the fans boards fitted in the head, of the ballast and the PF .
It will be possible to download the software from our web site www.sgm.it.
