Overview of AAS (Analog Address System)

Analog Address Overview

The Analog Address system is a lighting control system that allows you to control
architectural lighting from wall-mounted slider stations. The system can control up to
eight analog channels wired to DMX512 dimmers. Up to eight slider stations may be
installed. The system also includes a processor unit from which you can assign dimmers
to channels and enter other system settings.
