BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT

Please visit the SGM ofﬁcial website at www.sgmlight.com for the latest version of this user

manual/ safety information leaﬂet. Due to continuous improvements, the instructions may

change without notice. SGM always recommends the latest available ﬁrmware version from

www.sgmlight.com.

EXTERNAL CLEANING AND VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE FIXTURE

All users of the SGM ﬁxtures should regularly clean those parts of the ﬁxture directly exposed

to the elements, such as the external housing and front lenses. Additionally, all owners of the

SGM ﬁxtures must periodically check the external housing of the ﬁxture for structural breaks,

deterioration, cracked lenses, or loose screws. To ensure proper operation, but also to prevent

the risk of potential accidents, do not use the ﬁxture if the lens, housing, or power cables are

damaged. If parts of the ﬁxture appear to be missing, cease use immediately and contact SGM

support.

WIRING AND CONDUIT/ CONTAINMENT

SGM ﬁxtures supplied with power and data cable leads are not intended for installation in

permanently installed conduit or containment. When installing the ﬁxtures in a permanent

installation, ensure cable leads are installed as a service loop to an appropriately rated junction

box using suitable cable strain reliefs/glands. All installed ﬁxtures must be securely mounted,

and service loop appropriately protected for installation location. All electrical wiring and

connections should be completed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed includ-

ing the following:

• Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.

• Permanently installed equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights

where it will not be readily subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.

• The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an

unsafe condition.

• Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.

• Refer service to qualiﬁed personnel or authorized service centers.

• Do not look directly into the beam for long periods of time, when the ﬁxture is on.

• The ﬁxture shall, under no circumstance, be covered with insulating material of any

kind.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

OVERVIEW

The VPL Series is a group of "Video Pixel Linear" ﬁxtures. Each VPL is an array of LED Quad-Pixel clusters inde-

pendently controlled, designed to create powerful pixel mapping and media effects for both indoor and outdoor

installations. The ﬁxture is a perfect lighting ﬁxture for linear and radial installations where high-visibility and very

ﬂexible setup are essential.

VPL SERIES

• Is an all-weather IP-66-rated ﬁxture.

• Has 16, 32 or 64 full-color LED Quad-Pixel clusters.

• Is IK09-rated, C-5M / CX (marine) protected, UV and corrosion resistant.

• Uses Power and Data in one cable with no need for external power supplies or drivers.

• Is Art-Net and sACN compatible.

• Has 16 bit control with real time remote monitoring and auto addressing.

• Is available in different lengths, with optional front lenses as and accessories.

VPL VARIANTS

There are three available lengths of the VPL:

VPL SIZE LED QUAD PIXEL

1220-20 1220mm. / 4 ft. 64 Quad pixel clusters

256 full-color LED chips

610-20 610mm. / 2 ft. 32 Quad pixel clusters

128 full-color LED chips

305-20 305mm. / 1 ft. 16 Quad pixel clusters

64 full-color LED chips

INSTALLATION

IDENTIFYING POWER & DATA

The VP cable with the male connector is the ﬂexible cable which extends from the power supply, while the female

VP data connector is mounted directly into the power supply (see ﬁgure 1).

UNPACKING

Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged during transportation.

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS

The ﬁxture is IP66-rated and designed for both indoor and outdoor events, which completely protects the ﬁxture

from:

• Dust: to the degree that dust cannot enter the device in sufﬁcient quantities to interfere with its operation.

• High pressure jets of water from any direction.

When selecting a location for the device, ensure that:

• It is situated away from public thoroughfares and protected from contact with people.

• It is not immersed in water.

• It has adequate ventilation.

VPL Connector End cap:

• Ensure that the last ﬁxture's has a waterproof VPL Connector End cap installed in the female chassis connec-

tor, to maintain the IP66 rating

TRANSPORT HANDLING

• Always use the supplied packaging or suitable ﬂight case for transportation and storage.

• Never carry the ﬁxture by connected cables or wires!

8Product Version 1.0 | Revision A | Released 2023-01-10

SGM offers three brackets for installation of VPLs: The

touring bracket for temporary setups and single or dual

bracket for permanent installations.

The VPL Touring Bracket (P/N: 83060633) (see ﬁgure 2) is

perfect for temporary installations. It has a snap-on sliding

bracket for quick release and easy setup, designed as a

versatile item to attach a generic third-party clamp for

rigging the VPLs. When using touring brackets, always

secure every VPL with a safety wire, attached to the

ﬁxture's highest point.

The choice of permanent installation brackets depends on

the VPL setup.

Figure 3: Single bracket Figure 4: Dual bracket

Figure 2: VPL Touring Bracket

The Single Installation Bracket (P/N: 86060634) is

intended for single ends of VPLs, arranged in a

parallel array (see ﬁgure 3)

RIGGING PROCESS USING SGM BRACKETS

Single Bracket

Dual Bracket

The VPL Dual Installation Bracket (P/O: 83060635) is

intended for installing the ﬁxtures in a physical series

connection (see ﬁgure 4). The VPL Dual Installation

Bracket will maintain the pixel pitch of 20mm and can be

used in combination with the touring bracket to ensure a

consistent distance between pixels.

PLEASE NOTE! UNDERSTANDING AND CHOOSING THE RIGHT BRACKET IS CRUCIAL FOR SAFETY. FOR PERMA

NENT INSTALLATIONS, THE VPLS SHOULD ALWAYS BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST TWO BRACKETS.

ALWAYS SECURE EVERY VPL WITH A SAFETY WIRE WHEN USING THE VPL

TOURING BRACKET.

9Product Version 1.0 | Revision A | Released 2023-01-10

TEMPORARY INSTALLATIONS

The Touring Bracket is designed for temporary

installations and rental applications. It is a

versatile bracket, meant for attachment to truss

or pipes. A VPL Single Touring bracket can carry a

SGM VPL 1220-20 if it is placed no more than 300

mm away from either end of a VPL. (see ﬁgure 5).

Figure 5: Bracket guide-line, if the bracket is closer to than

300mm to the edge, two brackets are advised.

SAFETY WIRES

The safety wire should be installed at the highest

point on the VPL to minimize the fall distance.

When installing VPLs in ceilings or any horizontal

plane with people below, make sure to install one

safety wire in both ends of the VPL (see ﬁgure 7). If

the ﬁxtures are installed as an extension of each

other, one safety wire can be attached to two

adjacent ﬁxtures (see ﬁgure 6).

Attach to suitable truss

Figure 7: Attach the safety wire in both sides.

Figure 6: Attaching safety wire through the holes in the VPL

proﬁles.

WARNING! ALWAYS INSTALL A SAFETY WIRE ON BOTH ENDS WHEN

USING VPLS IN A CEILING INSTALLATION. THE VPLS SHOULD ALWAYS BE

PROPERLY FIXED AND NOT HUNG IN THE CABLES.

FRAMES

To create frames and shapes with the VPLs, install the ﬁxtures with enough space for the VP cable to attach to the

next VPL. Figure 8 illustrates the two recommended orientations of the standard VPL 1220-20 and 610-20. Note that

the VPL 305-20 cannot bend a full 90 degree due to the compactness of the ﬁxture's cable. Make sure the installa-

tion is rigid so that the ﬁxtures cannot move and cause extensive wear on the cables. For further information or

suggestions about the VLP and their installation, please contact your local SGM distributor or SGM support at

[email protected]
