DESCRIPTION 

 
The AS-40M is a compact 4 channel light dimmer.  It has a maximum capacity of 600 Watts per channel and a 
maximum TOTAL load capacity of 2400 Watts.  It is supplied with an input power cord which may be connected to 
a 120 VAC, 20 Amp power circuit.  The AS-40M is intended for INDOOR USE ONLY. The unit operates using the 
USITT DMX-512 protocol. The AS-40M may be operated in a relay (non-dim) mode. The unit will also function as 
a stand alone chaser and has eight primary preset chase patterns which may be used.  An additional manual 
operating mode is available which enables the unit to function as a stand alone dimmer with manual control of 
each channel. 
 
 

INSTALLATION 

 
LOCATION:  Locate the unit in a well ventilated area away from moisture and heat.  Two ½” holes are provided 
on one end of the dimmer to install a lighting bar pipe clamp and suitable safety cables.  
 
POWER CONNECTIONS:  Extending from the chassis is a 20 amp line cord for connection to a 120 VAC, 20 
Amp, grounded service. Total capacity of the AS-40M is 2400 watts. 
 
LOAD CONNECTIONS:  There is one Edison Plug connector provided for each AS-40M output channel.  They 
are located along the left and right edges of the unit.  The markings on the cover indicate the channel numbers for 
each connection.  The maximum capacity of each channel is 600 watts. 
 
CONTROL SIGNAL CONNECTIONS:  
 
The male five pin XLR connector on the unit end panel connects to the control console.  The female connector is 
for connection to additional dimmers. The AS-40M dimmer is compatible with the USITT DMX-512 protocol. 
 
Note that the DMX standard does not provide for console power via the dimmer chain. Therefore the DMX 
console used with AS-40M dimmers must be powered by other means. 
 
Wiring information for the DMX control signal connectors is shown on the unit top cover.
