General warnings
Carefully read the warnings contained in this manual, since they supply important instructions concerning safety of installation, use and maintenance.
It is very important that this manual be kept with the equipment for future consultation.
In case of sale or transfer of the equipment to another user, ensure that this manual always
accompanies the equipment to allow the new owner to obtain information about the operation
and the relevant warnings.
• After unpacking check the integrity of the equipment. In case of doubt, do not use the equipment,
and contact an authorized SGM Technical Service Centre.
• The packaging materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, nails, etc.) must be kept out of reach
of children since they are potential sources of danger.
• This equipment may only be operated by adults. Do not allow children to tamper with the machine
or play with the product.
• The electrical work necessary for the installation of the equipment must be carried out by a qualified
electrician or by a competent person.
• Before connecting the unit, check that the data on the registration plate is the same as that of the
electrical grid.
• Avoid using the equipment:
- in places subject to excessive humidity
- in places subject to vibrations or knocks
- in places with temperatures higher than 45°C or lower than 2°C
- Protect the equipment from excessively humid conditions
(the optimum values are between 35 and 80%).
• Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.
• Prevent inflammable liquids, water or metallic objects from penetrating the equipment.
• In case of spilling liquid on the equipment, immediately disconnect the power supply of the mixer.
• The minimum distance between the projector and the surface to be illuminated must not be less
than 1.5 m.
• In case of serious functioning problems, switch off the equipment and contact the nearest SGM
retailer or the manufacturer directly for inspection.
• Avoid opening the equipment: there are no parts repairable by the user.
• Never try to repair the equipment alone. Repairs carried out by inexpert persons may cause damage
Always insist on original spare parts.
Protect the environment: do not throw the packaging in your dustbin,
but return it to your retailer or take it to a collection point for special
waste disposal.

Made in Italy by SGM Electronic
Printed in February, 1998 • Rel. 1.02
General Characteristics
Newton Control is a dedicated control unit for the intelligent Newton spotlights.
Its simplicity of use makes it suitable for any type of application, since it allows much more rapid,
more simple and more precise control than occurs with controls fixed to the projector body, and can
also be carried out at a considerable distance from the projector.
The vast and pluridecennial experience of SGM in the sector of light control systems has allowed
developing a product with high reliability and precision, thanks to the absolute mastery of the knowhow and the optimisation of the quality/price relation.
Newton Control is supplied directly from the projector to which it is connected and does not require
any other connections.
Technical Characteristics
POWER SUPPLY
+ 14V DC, 350mA

Equipped with a mother board (CS 0190)
CONTROL SYSTEM
Newton Control controls 5 DMX channels, corresponding to the
following Newton projector functions: ch 1 = iris / ch 2 = colour
ch 3 = dimmer / ch 4 = strobe / ch 5 = colour mode

Newton Control Connections
Newton Control is connected to the Newton spotlight through the DMX 512 input socket.
The control unit is fitted with a special connection cable.
The Newtons allow cascade connection and can thus be controlled in classic DMX (or RS-232) chains.
Therefore, the operator is not required to control the functions, transferred to the controller or the light
desk, and can concentrate on the movement quality.
When using a different controller or a light desk, the projectors must be suitably addressed (see the
following diagrams), while when using the dedicated Newton Control, all the projectors must be
addressed to channel 001. In the first case the Newtons are independent, while in the second case
they are all under the same controls.
The Newtons supply power directly to the Newton Control unit using the pins 4 and 5 of the
DMX IN socket (see following diagrams).
When implementing systems using these two socket pins, always bear this in mind, in order to prevent damage to the projector or the units connected to it.
