ABOUT
The AC400 DMX 4x8 is the ideal companion for powering LiteMat+ Plus and LiteTile+
Plus units up to 400 watts. Its rugged housing includes several mounting options
along with four ¼-20 (SAE) threads for attaching clamps, making it suitable for over-
head setups. Locking connections provide AC input and DC output along with DMX
pass-through. The unit operates all“Plus+Compatible”Hybrid xtures up to 400W. The
internal electronics include genuine LiteDimmer circuits known for smooth low end
dimming, icker-free operation, and rock solid reliability. Simple manual control is
provided through the backlit display along with access to DMX settings. A 12VDC
convenience outlet provides power for accessories such as LiteDimmer Wireless
receivers or DMX consoles. Powering the AC400 DMX 4x8 is simple. It operates on any
AC voltage between 90 and 305VAC and includes unique overload circuit protection
called CurrentSense. CurrentSense technology allows for the 400W capacity to be
doubled to 800W — still only allowing 400W of power to be used — without causing
any damage to the xture or the dimmer. Because 400W of power is being distributed
evenly to the entire 800W-capable xture(s), the result is ultrasoft light that is perfect
for intimate setups. Be sure to see all other Plus+Compatible products that are useable
with your new LiteDimmer+ AC400 DMX 4x8 unit.

CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS
The AC400 DMX 4x8 has the following controls:
A) Three Pushbuttons (Functions change depending on the current screen.)
The AC400 DMX 4x8 has the following connections:
B) DMX Input/Output: 5-pin XLR connector
C) AC Power Input (with power switch): C13/C14 plug
D) DC LED Output: PL7 connector
E) DC Convenience Outlet: Barrel (2.1 x 5.5 mm) connector

POWERING THE AC400 DMX 4X8
The AC400 DMX 4x8 runs o of AC voltage (90VAC to 305VAC; 50/60 Hz).
Additionally, the AC400 DMX 4x8 comes equipped with a 12VDC convenience outlet
for powering ancillary devices, such as a LiteDimmer Wireless TRX unit (sold separately).
HOW TO INSTALL
To install the AC400 DMX 4x8, complete the following:
1) Position the power switch (located above the AC power input) to o.
2) Install the AC input lead into the AC power input.
3) Connect the load to the PL7 DC output connector. Be sure to observe the
power capacity (400W) of the AC400 DMX 4x8.
4) If a DMX connection is desired, provide DMX signal to the DMX input of the
AC400 DMX 4x8.
5) Position the power switch to on.
You are now ready to operate the AC400 DMX 4x8.
When installing the AC400 DMX 4x8, be sure to exploit the various rigging points available,
including slots for zip ties, Velcro® wraps, drywall screws, and ¼-20 screws (SAE), just to
name a few.

DMX MODE
The default operating mode for the AC400 DMX 4x8 is DMX Mode, in which the
AC400 DMX 4x8 is always checking for and responding to an active DMX signal.
•There are several settings that can be adjusted during DMX operation
(see “Settings” section).
•Additionally, the DMX start address must be set
(see “Setting DMX Start Address” section).
•If no DMX signal is present or if local (non-DMX) control is preferred,
change the mode to Local Mode
(see “Local Mode” section).
SETTINGS
The following settings can be adjusted on the AC400 DMX 4x8:
•Smoothing (Smooth)
Smoothing increases resolution during fades and, in doing so, helps to eliminate
visible “steppiness” in the dimming range, especially at the low end. If high speed
changes are needed, smoothing may be turned o.
•DMX Bit Rate (DMX) (only applies to DMX Mode operation)
A) 8-bit: Accepts 8-bit data streams.
B) 16-bit: Accepts 16-bit data streams. 16-bit operation can provide greater
resolution. Not all DMX consoles support 16-bit DMX streams. This bit rate
should be selected only when it is known that the DMX console is outputting
a 16-bit data stream.
•Dimmer Response (Curve)
A) Standard (Std): The standard dimming curve is a linear curve, meaning that for
every increase in input intensity control there is an equal increase in output
intensity control.
B) Exponential (EXP): The exponential dimming curve allows for greater resolution
in the low end of the dimming range. At the low end of the dimming
range, changes in input intensity control translate to relatively small changes
in output intensity control at the low end and larger changes as the input
intensity control increases.

1) Navigate to the DMX Address Screen from
the Home Screen by pressing the right
button ( ▶).
2) Press the center button (Edit) from the DMX
Address Screen to begin editing the DMX
start address. A cursor will begin ashing over
the lowest digit of the DMX start address.
3) Use the right button ( ) to increase and the
left button ( ) to decrease the right digit.
When the desired value is displayed, press
the center button (Next) to advance to the
center digit.
4) Repeat Step #3 for the remaining digits.
5) When satised with the value of the nal
digit, press the center button (OK) to conrm
the DMX start address.
Note: The AC400 DMX 4x8 operates with
Hybrid functionality, which means the DMX
start address corresponds to the intensity
control while the next consecutive address
corresponds to the CCT control. For example,
if the DMX start address is 357, then DMX
channel 357 is intensity and channel 358 is CCT.
SETTING DMX START ADDRESS

percentage (0% to 100%). When the desired
intensity is displayed, press the center button
(Next) to advance to Kelvin (CCT) adjustment.
4) Use the right button ( + ) to increase and the
left button ( – ) to decrease the CCT. CCT is
displayed in degrees Kelvin (2600K to 6200K).
When the desired Kelvin is displayed, press
the center button (Next) to conrm CCT
adjustment.
5) To continue making master intensity (Mstr)
and/or Kelvin (CCT) adjustments, press the
center button (Next), and repeat Steps #3
and #4.
6) Press the right button ( i) To view dimmer
power monitoring information such as:
• Operating temperature (Temp) in °F and °C
• Operating voltage (Volts) in volts DC
• Output current (Pwr) in amps)
Note: This screen will timeout and revert to
Step #3. Repeat Steps #3 and #4.
7) To exit Local Mode and revert to DMX
operation, press the left button (↵).

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the AC400 DMX 4x8 is experiencing irregular operation, checking the following may
be able to help identify the problem(s):
•DMX Frequency (DMX Hz)
• With low DMX refresh rates (less than 20 Hz), steppiness (especially on the low
end of the dimming range) is possible. The maximum refresh rate when sending
information for all 512 channels of a DMX universe is 44 Hz. Higher refresh rates
are possible when sending less than 512 channels of information. A DMX
frequency of 0 indicates that no DMX signal is being received.
Where to nd this information:

— Navigate to Splash Screen 2: Splash
Screen 2 appears immediately after Splash
Screen 1 without any prompting.
— Navigate to the Information Screen, which
is only a splash screen (i.e., it automatically
times out), from the Home Screen by
pressing the center button (↵).

•Operating Temperature (Temp)
• The AC400 DMX 4x8 is comprised of a dimming element and a power supply
element. The maximum operating temperature of the power supply element
is 158°F (70°C). The dimming element can handle slightly higher temperatures.
An overly high operating temperature could cause component failure. Be sure
to monitor the temperature, and ensure that the AC400 DMX 4x8 is in an
environment that allows it to cool properly.
•Operating Voltage (Volts)
• The operating voltage of the AC400 DMX 4x8 is 24VDC. Large deviations from
this voltage could cause issues.

Debugging Screen
•Blank Screen
• If the screen is on but not displaying any information, press the center button.
If this does not solve the problem, perform a factory reset (see “Factory Reset”).
FACTORY RESET
If the AC400 DMX 4x8 is experiencing irregular operation, a factory reset may be
needed. Resetting the operating system can restore normal operation in many cases.
To perform a factory reset, perform the following steps:
1) Turn the AC400 DMX 4x8 o by ipping the switch above the AC input.
2) Press and hold the left button.
3) While holding the left button, turn the AC400 DMX 4x8 on by again ipping the
switch above the AC input.
4) The device will power up to a factory reset screen. When prompted, conrm a
factory reset by pressing the right button, which corresponds to“Yes.”
5) The device will then begin ashing a red indicator light and will prompt to be
restarted. At this time, cycle power going to the AC400 DMX 4x8 to nish the
operation by turning the AC power switch o and then back on.
Your preferences and settings may now have to be reset.
If the AC400 DMX 4x8 is still experiencing irregular operation after a factory reset, contact
LiteGear Technical Support for assistance.
