AS-62L END VIEW
OPERATION
NORMAL MODE (non-chaser)
A green LED in the end panel will indicate that a valid control signal is applied to the unit. A DIP switch block on
the end panel selects the starting channel number of the dimmer. The 8 right hand switches control this function.
For example, if all switch positions are down - the dimmer will respond to channels 1-6. Moving the switch
position on the far right up will set the dimmer to respond to channels 3-8. A complete table of channel
assignments is provided at the end of this manual.
RELAY MODE Pairs of channels (1/2 and/or 3/4 and/or 5/6) may be switched into the relay mode. In this mode
the output of these channels will be either off or full on depending on the control console channel setting. The trip
point for turn on is aprox. 50%. The 3 left hand switches on the DIP switch block control relay mode channel
selection.
CHASER MODE
When operating in the chaser mode the AS-62L becomes independent of the control console and other dimmers.
The green LED indicator is OUT when in the chaser mode. Chaser mode is turned on and off by one of the DIP
switches on the end of the unit. A diagram on the unit cover shows the switch settings for controlling chaser
operation.
Eight different chaser patterns are available. A “bounce” condition may be imposed on several of the chase
patterns by setting one of the DIP switches. The bounce condition causes the chase pattern to run in alternating
directions.
The chase step time may be controlled for up to 128 seconds per step. Step fade time is proportional to the step
time. If a channel is in the relay mode during chaser operation - it will “snap” on and off (zero fade time). The
following tables show the details of chaser settings.
