MANUAL OPERATION 

 
The AS-40M can be operated by itself as a manually controlled dimmer.  If there is no DMX signal present and 
the unit is not in the chaser mode then each channel can be controlled by one of the four rotary faders on the unit 
top cover.  The faders are marked as to channel number.  Rotating any fader clockwise will increase the intensity 
of the channel. 
 

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR 

 
TROUBLESHOOTING 
 

 

 

Check the DMX control cable. 

 

Check the settings of the dimmer DIP switches. 

 

Check the console setup for correct patching.   

 

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 5 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 
Department,  509 Central Drive,  Virginia Beach, VA 23454.  Tel: 757 486 3588.
