The new SC8 II Pad System from Eliminator Lighting (From ADJ) is a convenient control solution for standalone lighting and effects equipment. It features an 8-channel relay pack combined with a separate remote control interface, allowing efficient cable management and convenient power switching. It is ideal for permanent installations in bars, nightclubs, and other entertainment venues as well as for use by mobile event companies and entertainers.

Offering a total load capacity of 15 Amps, the SC8 II Pad RP (relay pack) features eight Edison socket power outlets. Power is supplied to the pack by a trailing cable fitted with an Edison plug and it is fitted with both side mounting brackets and an M10 threaded mounting hole, allowing for both permanent installation and temporary rigging. A standard 3-pin DMX cable is used to connect the relay pack to the SC II Pad control surface, and a 25 ft. cable is supplied with the system (longer cables can be purchased separately if required).

The SC II Pad itself features a master power switch together with independent toggle and flash switches for each of the 8 outlets. Dedicated LEDs beside each pair of switches provide visual indication of which channels are currently active. Power is supplied to the control surface via an IEC socket and a 4 ft. IEC to Edison cable is supplied with the system. In addition to providing a control signal to the relay pack via a 3-pin DMX socket, the controller also offers two 5V USB outlet sockets which can be used to power ancillary devices up to a maximum load of 2.1A each (3.4A in total).

The SC8 II Pad System is designed to make setups using standalone lighting and effects equipment neater and easier to control,” comments Albert Paredes, Product Manager for Eliminator Lighting. “Up to eight different standalone lights or effects can be plugged into the rely pack, mounted close to the fixtures on a truss or in a venue’s roof. A single 3-pin DMX cable can then be used to carry the control signal to where it is required – for example the DJ position – allowing each fixture to be switched on and off as required. This allows for shorter power cable runs, preventing tangles of cords and providing convenient control exactly where it is needed.”
