Manual Operation
DMX Operation
The onboard dimmer knob can manually dim lamps.
DMX Addressing
Prior to hanging any instruments, set the DMX address of each
Fixture.
Push the tabs above or below the number window to set the ad-
dress. (Valid addresses range from 001 to 512.). The light above
the address block will illuminate if a DMX signal is present.
The ParaBeam 210 operates on one DMX address to control/dim
2 lamps on one dimmer channel.
Tip: DMX Channel 2 allows for a greater degree of control. The board operator can turn
two lamps off (1 f-stop drop in exposure) without shifting the color temperature.
The MANUAL DIM LAMPS switch selects 4 lamp or 2 lamp
operation. Select the 2 lamp setting to turn off the outer lamps.
Note: All manual controls are disabled as soon as the DMX
cable is applied. For manual control with DMX cables plugged in,
set address to “000”. There is a 5 second delay when switching
between DMX and Manual control.
The DMX CHANNELS feature allows user to select 2 or 4 lamp
operation for DMX dimming control.
The ParaBeam 410 operates on one or two DMX addresses.
On DMX Channel 1, one DMX address controls/dims all four
lamps on one dimmer channel.
On DMX Channel 2, two DMX addresses are used:
The 1st address controls the inner two lamps.
The 2nd address controls the outer two lamps.
