Connecting AC power
The Q-10 Series can operate on any 100–277 V, 50/60 Hz AC mains power supply.
Connect a Q-10 standard to AC power using the supplied cable with a IP-rated power, or similar with
a maximum of 20 A, to ensure the correct ingress protection (IP-rating).
The xture must be grounded/earthed and able to be isolated from AC power. The AC power supply
must incorporate a fuse or circuit breaker for fault protection.
The power cable color coding is given in gure 8:
• Connect the black wire to live.
• Connect the white wire to neutral.
• Connect the green/yellow wire to ground (earth).
For a temporary outdoor installation, the mains cable must be
tted with a grounded connector intended for exterior use. For
permanent installations, have a qualied electrician to wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit. The junction’s ingress
protection (IP) rating must be suitable for the location. Always use a junction box with a proper IP class suitable for the environment.
When installing standard type C circuit breakers, there will be no limitations due to the xture in-rush current.
For assistance with alternative congurations, contact your SGM representative.
NOTE: In POI versions, SGM supplies a bare end power cable. Connect the xture to power by mounting a power connector
to the bare end mains cable. Please refer to “Connecting DMX and AC power in POI” on page 17.
After connecting the Q-10 to power, run the on-board test by selecting TEST → AUTOMATED TEST in the menu, to ensure that the
xture and each LED are functioning correctly. POI versions have to be tested through RDM.
PLEASE NOTE!
The protective caps must be securely mounted on any unused DMX connectors, in order to maintain the ingress protection (IP-rating).
CAUTION!!
Do not connect the xture to an electrical dimmer system, as doing so may cause damage.

Angle indicator
The Q-10 comes with a scale function, which eases the adjustment to the tilt desired.
The angle indicator in the wheel shows the current angle of inclination.
NOTE: In POI versions, SGM provides a POI Spanner with a pig-nose key for tilt adjustment. Either use the large or the small
pig-nose key, depending on the type of xture. See “POI Tilt lock” on page 17 to know more about the tilt lock in Q-10 POI.
The Q-10 can be tilted from 0° - 120°.
In standard versions, there is no need for any special tools to adjust the tilt angle.
Take the following steps for adjusting the tilt in standard Q-10:
1. Loosen the both tilt screws (one on each side) by turning them counter-clockwise.
2. Adjust the tilt to the desired angle and hold it.
3. Lock the position by re-tightening both tilt lock knobs clockwise.
If you feel resistance when tilting the xture, you might not have loosened the tilt lock knobs enough.
CAUTION!!
If the xture has been operating, always allow it to cool for 15 minutes before handling.
Exterior surface temperature after 5 min. operation = 45 °C (113 °F). Steady state = 68 °C (154 °F).

The Q-10 Series is controllable using a DMX control device, and it can be connected using either a DMX cable, or via the xture’s
built-in CRMX wireless receiver system.
When using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX-In cable to the input connector and DMX-Out cable to the output, both on
the rear of the xture’s base (chassis mounted male and female 5-pin XLR plugs). For outdoor installations, use only IP-rated XLR
connectors suitable for outdoor use.
In standard xtures, if using a wireless DMX system, remember to use the protective caps in any unused DMX connector in order to
maintain the xtures’ IP rating. For POI versions, please refer to “Connecting DMX and AC power in POI” on page 17 to see
how to connect DMX and AC power.
NOTE: SGM xtures provide a passive DMX Thru signal as DMX Out, instead of an active output signal.

Conguring the device
The Q-10 can be set up by using the control panel and OLED multiline display on the xture’s head or through RDM.
Please note: In POI versions there is no display mounted in the xture. The adjustments are made through RDM.
See “Conguration” on page 16 for more information.
The OLED display is the human interface of the xture, as it displays the current status and menu of the xture. The display panel
can be used to congure individual xture settings, check the xture’s wireless status, conrm the rmware version, and read error
messages. The complete list of the menu and all commands available are listed in “Control menu” on page 14.
Before turning on the Q-10, make sure the power in cable is properly connected. To turn o󰀨 the device, simply disconnect power in
cable. When the xture is powered on, it boots and resets before displaying the currently selected operating mode and the DMX start
address. Navigate through the menus and options using the arrow buttons, and select items using the ENTER button.

About DMX
The Q-10 Series can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller on a number of DMX channels.
DMX is the USITT DMX512-A standard, based on the RS-485 standard. The signal is sent as DMX data from a console (or a
controller) to the xtures via a shielded twisted pair cable designed for RS-485 devices.
The cables can be daisy chained between the xtures, and up to 32 xtures can be connected to the same DMX link. Up to 300
meters (1000ft.) of cable is achievable with high quality DMX cables. In installations with standard xtures, remember that all DMX
links must be terminated in the last xture by connecting a DMX termination plug to the last xture´s 5 pin DMX out connector.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Standard microphone cable is not suitable for transmitting DMX.
• Up to 32 xtures can be linked to the same DMX chain. Additional xtures will overload the link.
• The last xture must always be tted with a DMX termination plug to the xture’s DMX out.
DMX Start address
The Q-10 Series can be operated in di󰀨erent DMX modes. For any of the modes, the rst channel used to receive data from a DMX
control device is known as the DMX start address.
For independent control, each Q-10 must be assigned its own DMX start address. For example, if the rst Q-10 is set to 6ch CTC DMX
mode with a start DMX address of 113, the following Q-10 in the DMX chain should then be set to a DMX address of 119. As the rst
xture uses all the rst 6 DMX channels, including channel 113, the next available channel is 119 (113+6=119 >> 119).
If two or more xtures of the same type have the same DMX address, they will behave identically. Incorrect settings will result in
unpredictable responses from the lighting controller. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control.
Set/edit DMX address
The DMX address is shown on the OLED display in the control panel. To change the address
setting, press the up and down arrows. When the desired address is displayed, press ENTER to
save the setting. For your convenience, the next available DMX address is displayed to the right.
Note that channel spacing is determined by the number of channels of the DMX mode.
See instructions on how to use the display panel in “Conguring the device” on page 10.
The Q-10 Series also o󰀨ers the option to set the DMX address through RDM.
NOTE: the POI versions are only addressable via RDM. See “Conguration” on page 16.

Eects
Colors and LED Panels
The Q-10 Series features 2,048 RGB SMD LEDs and 2,048 white SMD LEDs divided into 8 individually controllable segments, which
generates wide-ranging color e󰀨ects and pixel-mapping combinations for creative lighting designs.
The xture can operate in RGB calibrated mode, which ensures that colors are compatible across the range of SGM xtures.
However, the Q-10 also o󰀨ers the ability to operate in RAW mode with full control of each color.
Color temperature correction
The Q-10 Series o󰀨ers seamless CTC (color temperature correction) control from 2,000° Kelvin - 10,000° Kelvin.
Ultra high-speed strobe e󰀨ect
The ultra high-speed strobe e󰀨ect generates random strobe and pulse e󰀨ects with variable speed.
Individual xture settings
Flipping the OLED display (POI n.a.)
If the xture is installed hanging upside down, it might be useful to ip the display so that it is easier to read.
To ip the display press ENTER and select SETTINGS → FLIP DISPLAY, or press the up and down buttons on the control panel at
the same time.
Setting the OLED display saver (POI n.a.)
By default the OLED display dims down after a short period when the control panel is not in use. The display can also be set to turn
o󰀨 completely, especially when a pitch-black environment is required. Pressing any key will always turn on the display or restore it to
normal brightness.
To congure the display settings press ENTER → SETTINGS → DISPLAY SAVER.
NOTE: To avoid the risk of display deterioration caused by long term usage, it is recommended to select the setting → DISPLAY OFF.

Supported RDM functions
The Q-10 features are supported via various RDM functions.
RDM (Remote Device Management) is a protocol enhancement to USITT DMX512 that allows bi-directional communication between
the xtures and the controller over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow conguration, status monitoring, and management.
An RDM controller is needed to get control over the supported parameters. See the tables below for supported RDM functions.

The SGM POI versions are designed for permanent outdoor installation and are IP66-rated or higher. POI versions are designed for
use in maritime and o󰀨shore environments, as per the C5-M corrosion-resistance class.
Physical dierences
The POI version di󰀨ers from the standard version by having xed chassis power, DMX cables, and heavy-duty cable glands. The
display and control panel have been removed.
Conguration
The Q-10 POI does not include a display, therefore it has to be congured through RDM (Remote Device Management).See “RDM”
on page 15 for more information.
In Q-10 POI, the DMX address and DMX mode can only be set through RDM. When addressing through USB powered DMX / RDM
devices, ensure that DMX link is terminated, and keep a short cable length as far as possible.
Regarding the DMX modes for POI, they are the same as the Q-10 standard. Visit www.sgmlight.com to see all DMX charts available
under the respective product, or upon request via [email protected].
PLEASE NOTE!!
Remote Device Management (RDM) requires a correct DMX cable installation and termination.
When setting addresses through RDM and using USB dongles, disable the USB selective suspend to ensure a proper
voltage to the DMX link. If any lag or trouble occurs when addressing, decrease the cable length range to <12 m and only
address one xture at a time.
LED Indicator
The LED indicator is located on the xture’s head (same place where the display is located in
standard Q-10), and shows the current status of the xture.
The LED indicator can have di󰀨erent colors and three possible stages: static, ashing, or o󰀨.
• Static green: xture is powered on without receiving DMX signal.
• Flashing green: xture is powered on and receiving DMX signal.
• Flashing orange (when using the magnet): xture is connecting to / disconnecting from
an external wireless transmitter.
• Static/ashing red: an error message is stored; review via the SGM RDM Addressing
Tool, reboot the xture, or contact SGM support for diagnostic help.
• O󰀨: xture is o󰀨 or indicator LED is set to auto dimming (set via RDM).
SGM Addressing Tool
SGM provides a windows software tool designed to allow the user to address and congure the xtures through RDM. Changing the
settings is done in the exact same way as it is in the display.
This tool is available for download at www.sgmlight.com, and has to be used with the SGM USB 5-Pin-XLR Uploader cable (available
from your SGM dealer).

Figure 19: Q-10 POI base with dimensions
POI Spanner
The Q-10 POI includes a spanner with a magnet, that serves the function of
establishing connection between the xture and the wireless transmitter.
The spanner also has two types of pig-nose keys used for tilt adjustment in
POI xtures. Depending on the type of xture, either use the large or the small
pig-nose keys.
In Q-10 POI devices, the smallest pig-nose key is used for tilt adjustment.
POI Tilt lock
The tilt angle in POI xtures may be adjusted by using the small pig-nose key provided in the spanner.
To adjust the tilt angle in Q-10 POI take the following steps:
1. Make sure the xture has cooled down before handling.
2. Take the spanner and turn both tilt lock knobs (one on each side) counter-clockwise by using
the small pig-nose key. Screws are loosened by turning counter-clockwise.
3. Tilt the xture to the desired angle and hold it.
4. Lock the position by tightening the tilt lock knobs clockwise with the same pig-nose key.
Installation and rigging of the Q-10 POI
While the base of the standard products includes 1/4 turn fasteners camlocks for omega brackets, the base of POI products comes
with M-10 nuts for M-10 screws. The M-10 screws are included in the package in the same amount as the number of M-10 nuts in
the base.
The Q-10 POI base has six M-10 nuts that can be used for installation and rigging. The SGM Omega bracket (not included) or a
customized bracket is needed to install the xture. Consider the dimensions below of the Q-10 POI base for customized mounting
bracket purposes.
The SGM POI Omega bracket suited for M-10 holes can be ordered as an accessory. Contact your local SGM dealer for further
information on correct POI-rated mounting.

Connecting DMX and AC power in POI
DMX in and DMX out are in the same cable. See more in gure 20 about the SGM POI DMX cable.
Power is wired the same as the standard version. See “Connecting DMX and AC power in POI” on page 17.
For permanent installations, have a qualied electrician wire the mains cable directly to a suitable branch circuit. The junction’s
ingress protection (IP) rating must be suitable for the location.
For a temporary installation, the mains cable may be tted with a grounded connector intended for exterior use.
PLEASE NOTE!!
• Standard microphone cable is not suitable for transmitting DMX.
• Up to 32 xtures can be linked to the same DMX link. Additional xtures will overload the link.
• The last xture must always be tted with a DMX termination plug to the xture’s DMX out.
• SGM xtures provide a passive DMX Thru signal as DMX Out, instead of an active output signal.

Figure 20: Connecting DMX and AC Power in Q-10 POI
Connecting a wireless transmitter in POI
In POI versions with wireless, it is necessary to pair the xture with a new transmitter (by default, the xture is linked to the SGM
factory transmitter).
In order to do so, make sure the xture is powered on before taking the following steps:
1. Take the spanner that comes with the xture, place the magnet close to the LED indicator, and wait for 3 seconds. The LED
indicator will blink orange for 1-2 seconds, before switching to static green again. The xture can now be paired with a new
transmitter.
2. Go to the wireless transmitter and press “connect” or “link”. Now the external third-party transmitter and the internal SGM
receiver should be linked together.
Repeat the process to link the xture to another transmitter.
Disconnecting a wireless transmitter in POI
To disconnect the Q-10 POI from the currently paired wireless transmitter, simply hold the magnet for 3 seconds over the LED
indicator. The LED indicator blinks orange for 1-2 seconds, switching later to green again. The xture is now logged o󰀨.

Anti-glare shields
The Q-10 Series supports two di󰀨erent types of optional anti-glare shields:
• Full anti-glare shield - covers the full xture’s opening.
• Half anti-glare shield - covers half of the xture’s opening.
Using the anti-glare shields will remove any unwanted glare and reections.
The anti-glare shields are easily mounted by removing the two tilt lock bolts, one on each side of the xture. Ret the anti-glare shield
in position and screw both tilt lock bolts again.
Note: The anti-glare shields are suitable for both permanent outdoor and indoor installations.

SGM Vacuum Test kit
The Vacuum Test Kit is an accessory suitable for all SGM IP-rated xtures, made for testing the IP
validity after having reassembled the xture.
In order to ensure the IP rating of the Q-10 Series, it’s highly recommended that the xture is
always vacuum-tested after installing or swapping any part that might compromise the IP rating,
e.g. swapping the front lens.
SGM disclaims liability for any damage occasioned by non-use or inability to use the vacuum test
kit after reassembling the xture.
SGM Uploader cable
The SGM USB to DMX cable is an accessory used mainly to update the xture with
the latest SGM rmware. See below how to update the xture with the latest rmware.
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 rmware
The rmware installed in the xture can be identied in di󰀨erent ways:
• When powering on the xture, the display shows the currently installed rmware version (only standard).
• Go to MENU → INFO → FIRMWARE VERSION (only standard).
• Through RDM.
We recommend that the xture’s rmware is always up-to-date. The latest rmware version is available for download under the
respective product at www.sgmlight.com.
To update your Q-10 Series with the latest rmware, use the SGM USB 5-Pin-XLR uploader cable, and a Windows-based computer
with the SGM Firmware Tool software installed (available for download at www.sgmlight.com).
Additionally, the Firmware Tool software o󰀨ers a simple DMX controller, featuring 512 DMX channels for test purposes.
Cleaning
SGM luminaires with IP65 or IP66 rating do not need any cleaning procedures inside the xture. However, cleaning the front lens may
be needed to achieve the maximum light output after 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 Q-10 Series using a soft cloth dampened in a solution of water and 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. Therefore, it is recommended
to do frequent check-ups the rst few weeks of operation to see how often cleaning is necessary.
