Please take a moment to read this manual
before operating the AS-62L Dimmer
IMPORTANT:
DESCRIPTION
The AS-62L is a compact 4 channel light dimmer. It has a maximum capacity of 1200 Watts per channel and
maximum total load capacity of 4800 Watts. It is supplied with 2 input power cord stubs which may be connected
to 2 different 120 VAC power phases. The AS-62L is intended for INDOOR USE ONLY. The unit operates using
the industry standard three wire multiplex protocol. The AS-62L may be operated in a relay (non-dim) mode. The
unit will also function as a chaser and has several preset chase patterns which may be used.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION: Locate the unit in a well ventilated area away from moisture and heat. Two ½” holes are provided
on the dimmer top cover to install a lighting bar pipe clamp and a suitable safety cable.
POWER CONNECTIONS: Extending from the chassis are two 20 amp line cords for connection to 2
separate
120 VAC, 20 Amp, grounded services in any phase combination. Total capacity of the AS-62L is 4800 Watts.
LOAD CONNECTIONS: There are 6 numbered duplex outlets on the top of the unit. Each provides 2
connections for one of the output channels. You can connect up to 1200 Watts of lighting to a single channel.
The total load capacity of the AS-62L channels 1, 3, and 5 combined is limited to 2400
Watts. The total load capacity of the AS-62L channels 2, 4, and 6 combined is also limited
to 2400 Watts.
CONTROL SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
The male three pin XLR connector on the unit end panel connects to the control console. The female connector
is for connection to additional dimmers. The AS-62L dimmer LMX-128 protocol is compatible with the Lightronics
and NSI/Sunn three wire multiplexed protocol. If you have older Lightronics dimmers which run in the obsolete
Lightronics mode only, contact Lightronics for information on chang ing the mode. When using multiple dimmers,
ALL dimmers MUST be in the SAME mode.

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 swit ches 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 cont rolling 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 proportion al 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.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Check that you have power applied to the dimmer.
• Check that all light fixtures are functional.
• Check the fuses.
REPAIR
The only user serviceable parts are externally accessible fuses. Replace fuses ONLY with 10 Amp, 250VAC, fast
blow fuses. Internal service on the unit by other than Lightronics authorized agents will void the warranty.
If service is required, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the dimmer, or Lightronics, Service
