The Lightronics AS42D-ST is a 4-channel portable, Stagepin Outlet, version of the A/C dimmer pack designed for DMX-512 operation. Built for flexible, on-the-go use, it provides reliable control of connected lighting loads in temporary, compact, or mobile installations. The unit connects directly to a 120VAC power source and distributes dimmed or switched output across four channels, allowing quick setup for portable lighting applications.
Key Features
• 4 dimming channels, 1,200W per channel (4,800W total)
• DMX-512 control with 5-pin XLR input/output
• Switchable non-dim (relay type) mode for compatible loads
• 8 built-in chase patterns for stand-alone operation
• Standard 120V Edison duplex power cord (3-prong wall outlet)
• Stagepin Outlet output connectors for connected devices
• 10 Amp fuses per channel for circuit protection
• Sequential DIP switch mapping for flexible DMX configuration
• Compact, portable design for temporary installations or areas with limited space
Users can control lighting through a DMX-512 console or operate the unit independently using built-in chase patterns. This stand-alone capability makes it well suited for smaller setups where a full control system is not required, while DMX-512 compatibility allows seamless integration into larger lighting systems.
Integration into existing lighting systems is straightforward. The AS42D supports standard DMX-512 daisy-chain connections for multiple dimmer packs and can be configured for relay operation when controlling non-dimmable loads. This flexibility allows the unit to be used across a wide range of portable lighting applications.
Designed for dependable, portable operation, the AS42D delivers consistent dimming performance in a compact form factor. Its durable construction, flexible control options, and stand-alone functionality make it a practical solution for facilities and events requiring reliable, mobile lighting control.
