Ahhh. A dimmer. (I'm a little dim, myself.) The controls at the master all froze. I spent a lot of time on the phone with someone from Lehigh. We tried a lot of things, and he finally said to pack it up and send it in. I haven't mailed it in, yet. I'm looking for options. I need to know if all the newer DMX can be adapted in some way? Is DMX only for LCD? Where can I find out how to wire it? And all that kind of stuff.Cursory research shows Lehigh ALX is a dimming system, not a controller. Since the dimmers accept DMX512, you can use anything from an $80,000 grandMA2 to a $99 Chauvet OBEY40 for control.
Why does the existing system "need to be replaced"? How is it not doing what is expected?

Some actual model numbers would help a lot. Can't tell if you are talking about a remote (wall plate station) , a rack controller (on the dimmer rack), or an actual console (light board). Or does your installation have some combination of these? Did you mean L E D instead of L C D? If it is a Lehigh system, it could be running on their proprietary "Ovation" protocol or it could be running on standard DMX. How about some photos of the wall station, console, rear of console, and dimmer rack?
If Lehigh can fix the problem for say $150, do you need a new system?
I'm closest to "Janitor". (No offense taken.) I'm just the old retired guy who has time to deal with something I know little about. I have been told that I can use another master dimmer but I can't find information on how to go from 3 wires to 6. There are two remote switches that haven't worked for a long time. Probably don't need them. What we really need a programmable master dimmer with about a dozen channels. (One a janitor can operate.)What are you trying to accomplish/control, what is your application, and who is your user (a programmer, a teacher, a regular lightboard op, a janitor?)
