Installation
Location: Although SCR dimmers are very efficient,
solid-state dimmers still generate heat.
Allow adequate space around the
enclosure for ventilation. Allow adequate
space between the lighting fixtures and
the Stik enclosure.
Mounting: The unit may be mounted to a pipe with
standardfixtureclamps,mounted toa wall
with the wall mounting brackets, or
suspended with a pipe using the pipe
mounting brackets.
WARNING:
The maximum working load using the pipe
mounting brackets is 100 lbs. When using
the pipe clamp mounting bracket, use a
safety cable.
If you are unsure about a mounting
method, contact a qualified rigger.
To mount the Stik, attach the desired
bracket to the back of the unit with the
supplied screws. The pipe clamp
mounting bracket may be attached so the
Stik is mounted above or below the pipe.
The wall mount bracket may be used for
wall or ceiling mount.
Loads: This unit is designed to dim incandescent
light sources, low voltage light sources
with electronic or magnetic transformers
only.
NOTE: Only dimmable electronic transformers
may be used. Electronic transformers vary
greatly by manufacturer. Some low voltage
fixtures may flicker when dimmed. If this
happens, try a different type of transformer or
fixture.
DO NOT EXCEED 600 WATTS PER
DIMMER
Power Source: This unit is designed to operate on 120
volts, 50 or 60 Hz AC power. An internal
jumper may be changed to allow opera-
tion at 240 VAC. This dimmer must be
connected to a suitable branch circuit not
exceeding 20 amps.
DO NOT CONNECT THE STIK TO
OTHER THAN THE SPECIFIED
VOLTAGE.
DO NOT CONNECT THE STIK TO
THE OUTPUT OF ANOTHER
DIMMER.
DO NOT EXCEED THE BRANCH
CIRCUIT BREAKER RATING OF
THE CIRCUIT.
Supply Cord: The dimmer is supplied with aType SO #12/3
AWG supply cord.
NOTE: Only use 12 gauge or larger extension
cords with this unit. Using smaller gauge cords
may cause overheating of the power cord.
WARNING:
MAXIMUM ambient operation and storage environment for this equipment is 104 F.(40C), with 90% humidity, non-condensing.This
product is protected by an internal thermal sensor. If the unit overheats, it will automatically shut itself off. It will come back on after
the unit has cooled down. To prevent overheating, allow adequate air circulation between the unit and lighting fixtures, do not
operate in direct sunlight or in high ambient temperatures.The external case of the Stik may get hot to the touch after operating at
maximum capacity over an extended period of time.
This product is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose this unit to rain.

Diagram of Stik with PBG connectors
1. DMX Input: A 5 pin Opto-Isolated XLR connector on
the end of the Stik. The input connector
is mounted adjacent to the power cord.
2. Power Cord: With strain relief cable clamp.
3. Load
Connectors: Varies with the type of connectors
ordered.
4. Fuse Holders: Each dimmer in the Stik has a fuse to
provide supplemental protection. These
fuses will protect the dimmer in the event
of a short circuit or overload condition.
Replace with6.25A 250VACceramic slow
blow fuses.
5. Last Stik Switch: When on, this terminates the DMX-512
data line. If the Stik is at the end of a
cable, this switch should be on. Only the
last Stik in the DMX-512 data link should
have this switch set to the “On” position.
A yellow LED indicates when the
termination is active.
6. Start Address: Threerotary switchesto selectthe dimmer
starting address. Set the switch from 001
to 509 to select the desired starting
address for the first dimmer in the Stik.
(Address for dimmer number 1) The
remaining three dimmers will follow in
sequence, one after another. Setting the
starting address to 000 will disable the
DMX-512 input.
7. LED Indicators: Power, DMX, and Overtemp LED
indicators.
8. Test/Focus: These buttons operate in two modes. If
the Stik is connected to a valid DMX-512
transmission, the button cause the
corresponding dimmer to fade to 100%,
the LED above the button will flash to
indicate that the dimmer is in test mode.
Pressing the button again will cause the
dimmer to return to the current DMX-512
level. If the dimmer is left in test mode, it
will time-out after about 2½ minutes, and
the dimmer will revert back to the current
DMX-512 level. When no valid DMX-512
transmission is being received, the Test
button may be used to manually adjust
the output level of the dimmer. Pressing
the button will raise or lower the dimmer
output. Multiple presses may be used to
set the dimmer to the desired level. The
LED above the button will show the ap-
proximate dimmer output. As long as no
DMX-512 signal is being received, the
dimmer will stay at the desired level.
9. DMX Output: The output connector may be used to
string additional Stiks together. All 5 pins
are connected between the input and out-
put connectors. The pin-out is as follows:
1 - Signal Ground
2 - Data-
3 - Data+
4 - Not used
5 - Not used
Note: DMX output should not be used
when the Last Stik switch (#5) is in the
“On” position.

Symptom Possible Cause Remedy
Nothing works, Power indicator is off. No AC power. Check incoming power source, or breaker.
Nothing works, Power indicator is off, Bad control board, or blown fuse. Check internal fuse.
incoming power is good. Send Stik in for repair.
Stik plugged into wrong voltage. Make sure the Stik is set to the same source as
the power source.
DMX light won't come on. No DMX-512 source. Check DMX-512 source.
Bad DMX cable Check Cable.
Invalid Dimmer Address Set address switch to proper starting address of
001 to 512.
A dimmer won't come on. Dimmer level set to zero. Make sure the control console is sending a valid
level.
Bad lamp / fixture Check lamp or fixture.
Blown fuse. Check dimmer output fuse.
A dimmer won't go out. Blown SSR. Replace solid state relay.
Output fuses keep blowing. Overload. Do not exceed 600 watts per output.
Wrong fuse. Use 6.25 Amp 250VAC ceramic slow-blow fuses.
Lamps flicker or flash. Stik plugged into a dimmer. Plug the Stik into a standard power source, not
the output of a dimmer.
