About the Zero 88 Betapack 2 / Betapack 2 Plus
The Zero 88 Betapack 2 and Betapack 2 Plus are 4U, six-channel professional power controllers, each channel capable of driving up to 10 amps of lighting load. DMX versions are supplied with a tamperproof plate that covers the front panel controls while keeping all LEDs visible, preventing unauthorised adjustment. Channel test switches (present on the standard Betapack 2 but not the Plus) allow each channel to be tested individually, with green output indicator LEDs giving an approximate indication of channel level. Each pair of channels features a preheat adjustment to set a minimum output when the connected controller is at zero. Fuse blown neons indicate a failed fuse, and a desk supply LED shows the polarity of the analogue DIN connector pin 7 supply.
Zero 88 Betapack 2 / Betapack 2 Plus — buyer FAQs
What is the Zero 88 Betapack 2 and how does it differ from the Betapack 2 Plus?
The Zero 88 Betapack 2 is a 4U, six-channel professional power controller capable of driving up to 10 amps per channel. The key difference between the two variants is that the standard Betapack 2 includes individual channel test switches with a test level preset, while the Betapack 2 Plus does not. Both share the same channel count, per-channel load rating and overall form factor.
What control options are available on the Betapack 2 and Betapack 2 Plus?
Both models are available in analogue and DMX variants. The DMX version is fitted with a tamperproof plate that covers the front panel controls while leaving all LEDs visible, preventing unauthorised changes. The analogue version uses a DIN connector, with a desk supply LED indicating the polarity of the pin 7 supply voltage. When using a remote control input on the Plus, all local faders should be set to zero to avoid mixing local and remote control.
What monitoring and adjustment features do the Betapack 2 models include?
Each channel has a green output indicator LED that gives an approximate reading of channel level and confirms the triac control element is operating. Each pair of channels has a preheat adjustment to set a minimum output when a connected controller is at zero. Where fitted, fuse blown neons sit next to each channel fuse and illuminate if a fuse has failed.
Who makes the Zero 88 Betapack 2?
The Betapack 2 and Betapack 2 Plus are made by Zero 88, a brand associated with professional lighting control equipment. The Betapack 2 range sits within their power controller products, offering both analogue and DMX variants in a 4U rack-mount format aimed at professional lighting installations.
What should I check when buying a used Betapack 2 or Betapack 2 Plus?
Confirm whether the unit is the standard Betapack 2 or the Plus variant, and whether it is the analogue or DMX version, as these affect functionality. Check that the channel test switches, preheat controls and indicator LEDs are all working, and verify the fuse blown neons where fitted.
