Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of ArcSystem products. ArcSystem is a family of overhead LED
products designed for installations where dimming, light quality, and ease of installation are
absolutely essential. With ArcSystem, you will experience perfectly smooth dimming from 100%
down to absolute zero. ArcSystem luminaires come in a variety of form factors, beam angles,
and color-temperature options, all with high-efficiency optics and an outstanding quality of light
ideal for any application.

ArcSystem products with ArcMesh can be controlled using wired DMX or the wireless ArcMesh
protocol. This manual provides step by step instruction on the installation of ArcSystem products
as well as full system integration.
