Modular ARCs
Overview
The Modular ARCs are a series of configurable remotes
within the ARC family. The series consists of five base base
and two expansion devices. The Modular ARCs,
as their name implies, are expandable within a familiar
Decora
®
form factor.
Note:
Cooper brand Decora
®
plates
are recommended for use with the Modular ARCs due to
their better fit.
The Base Devices
ARC-K1
The ARC-K1 is a modular remote
control for Symetrix DSPs
featuring
a push-button rotary encoder that
provides the client with simple control
of two (2) parameters in the system.
The 8-segment LED stack provides
instant user feedback, clearly
showing relative volume level. Two
additional LEDs, labeled “A” and “B”,
illuminate to indicate which of the two
available controls is active. All control
assignments, including
parameter limits and firmware version upgrades are handled
by the software included with Symetrix DSP hardware.
Power, control, and a single channel of ARC Audio are
connected via RJ-45 inputs or screw-type barrier strips.
The ARC-K1 also supports “sleep” mode for light-sensitive
environments like theaters. Hardware lockout pins are
provided to accommodate an installer-supplied key switch
and software and hardware lockout functions can be
independently programmed. Upper and lower parameter
limits help contain the range of adjustment. The ARC-K1 is
splash-resistant and mounts into a single gang electrical box
(US), finished with a standard Decora
®
faceplate (supplied in
white).
ARC-SW4
The ARC-SW4 is a modular
remote control for Symetrix
DSPs
featuring four momentary
pushbutton switches that provide the
client with simple control over source
selection, preset triggering and
more. Each of the four pushbuttons
have corresponding tri-color LEDs
which can provide user feedback in
a number of ways. LEDs may follow
buttons or LEDs and buttons may be
programmed independently.
All control assignments, including button and LED
functionality, parameter limits and firmware version upgrades
are handled by the software included with Symetrix DSP
hardware. Power, control, and a single channel of ARC
Audio are connected via RJ-45 inputs or screw-type barrier
strips. The ARC-SW4 also supports “sleep” mode for light-
sensitive environments like theaters. Hardware lockout pins
are provided to accommodate an installer-supplied key
switch. The ARC-SW4 is splash-resistant and mounts into
a single gang electrical box (US), finished with a standard
Decora
®
faceplate (supplied in white).
