For system security when using RF remote controls or keypads, each Aris System has its own identification
code that is transferred with every button pressed (similar to garage door opener codes). From a Vaux RF
Remote Control, or the Computer port, you can program one of 10,000 possible codes.
The Aris Model 700 System uses RC-8-RF radio-frequency remote controls, the Aris Model 710 Controller
uses RC-8-IR infrared remote controls, and the the Aris Model 720i may use either RC-8-RF or RC-8-IR
remote controls (or both).
Keypad Control
Your Aris system may be also be controlled by Vaux wired or wireless keypads. Vaux keypads are
programmable and customizable, in configurations from two to seven gangs. Vaux wired keypads may be
located up to 1000 feet from the media center, while the wireless keypads have a typical 125 feet range.
The Aris Model 700 System may use wireless (RF) keypads, the Aris Model 710 Controller uses wired
keypads, and the the Aris Model 720i may use either wired or wireless keypads (or both). Keypads may be
used in place of, or in addition to, remote controls — in fact, you may wany keypads in some rooms, and
remote controls in others.
Computer Control
The Aris MediaMation System may be completely controlled by an attached computer, or other control
system (such as AMX or Crestron) which communicates over a serial, RS-232 connection. The host
computer has complete control over A/V zone switching, volume/bass/treble levels for each zone, zone
status polling, playback of learned IR component codes, as well as control of X-10 lighting and appliance
devices. Serial communication uses the public-domain Vaux Protocol standard, which is published in
Vaux’s Software Developer's Guide.
