The DMX-ONÉ is primarily a diagnostic tool that generates a single

channel with DMX 512 Address capabilities for troubl eshooting. As a
limited secondary application it can be used in place of a dimmer board
to control a small number of fixtures. The DMX- ONÉ can be used to
provide remote dimming control for the ParaBeam 400 and 200. This is
useful for checking the dimming performance of the product prio r to
sending it out on a production.

The DMX ONÉ is used for remote control of DMX lamp switching on the products
pictured above. The unit can also provide a DMX chasing control of lamps
without the necessity of a dimmer board.

*The DMX ONÉ will operate the DMX 4Bank in the 4ft setting only. Reason:
need second DMX channel to control the 2ft setting. For 2ft control of the DMX
4Bank , recommend using a DMX dimmer board.

A ParaBeam can be dimmed by DMX using the DMX ONÉ. This is useful
when checking or trouble shooting a fixture. The DMX ONÉ can operate
next to the fixture in place of a dimmer board.

Note: DMX overrides all manual settings

• Turn MASTER down to Minimum.

• Turn off power switch.

The Image Series and Wall-O-Lite share a similar control interface. The
DMX Image 80 is pictured below as an example. Image series and Wall­Lites have 2 modes of operation. In Fixture Mode one address controls 8
lamps. In Individual Lamp Mode each lamp has a unique DMX address.
