Power Up and Control
Final Installation
ArcSystem D1, D1 HO, D2, and D4 drivers and ArcSystem multi-cell luminaires are supplied with
a 5 dB antenna providing 90 degree omni-directional coverage. Install this antenna to the
antenna receptacle.
Note:
Incorrect installation of recessed luminaires may cause output to turn on and
off periodically due to built-in protection against overheating. Leave the lamp on for
several hours to check for overheating caused by improper installation. The driver can
overheat even if the lamp is off.
Power Up Procedure
1. Check that luminaire power switch is on, if applicable.
2. Check the DMX control source to ensure proper installation and termination per the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Apply power at the main circuit breaker.
After the power up procedure, the luminaire will light.
Note:
All ArcSystem luminaires are factory set to provide 100% output level. This
allows an electrical contractor to check that all products are properly installed and
wired. During system commissioning, the certified ETC technician will remove this
setting and configure DMX addresses for normal use. During normal use after
commissioning is complete, ArcSystem luminaires will light if the DMX Control level is
greater than 0.
DMX System Control
ArcSystem can be installed and controlled over the wireless ArcMesh protocol, hard wired DMX,
or a hybrid of the two, making it a great solution for both new construction and retrofit
situations.
•
ArcSystem is compliant with DMX 512-A (ANSI E1.11-2008 (R2013)).
•
DMX loss behavior is hold last look.
For wired DMX installation, each luminaire can be addressed to any one of the 512 DMX
addresses up to the maximum device limit of 32 devices on each DMX line. For wireless DMX
installation, there are up to 64 control channels available. See
TX1 Installation on page 47 .
Channels can be grouped and programmed into presets per the needs of your space. Groups and
presets can be recalled through a lighting console or other devices.
Both wired and wireless products can be used within a single system. The following graphic
shows an example of how a system with wired luminaires, wireless luminaires, and a transmitter
may be installed.
