units. Multiple AB-0602N's and/or multiple smart
remote wall stations may be connected together.
The AB-0602N can store 64 preset scenes which can
be activated by the smart remotes. These scenes are
grouped according to which type of smart remote
can use them. Scenes 1 - 32 are reserved for push
button and IR remotes. Scenes 51 - 63 are used with
fader remotes. Both push button and fader remotes
may be connected to the same remote bus. If
multiple AB-0602N units are connected to a remote
then each one will activate its own stored scene.
BUTTON AND IR SMART REMOTES
These remotes activate individual scenes which have
been stored in the AB-0602N. Scenes will activate
on an "exclusive" basis (only one scene may be on at
a time). Currently available button remotes are the
AC-xx, AK-xx, and AI-1001.
These units are set to control scenes starting at scene
number one. It is possible to order a remote to use
other scenes.
The scene activation buttons will toggle. In other
words a scene will go OFF if you push its button
while the scene is active.
The OFF button invokes a system wide
BLACKOUT. (all scenes will be turned off
regardless of their source).
FADER SMART REMOTES
These units use specific individual scenes which
have been stored in the AB-0602N on a "pile on"
basis. In other words multiple scenes will merge
together in a "greatest of " fashion. This means that
the intensity of any given channel will go to the
highest level of all the scenes which use it.
Currently available fader remotes are the AF-2104,
AF-3107 and AF-5113.
All fader remotes will interact with scenes beginning
at scene 51. This refers to the lowest numbered
fader on the remote. The other faders on that remote
will use the next consecutively numbered scenes (52,
53, 54, etc.).
UNIT ID ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT
The smart remote connection bus used with AB-
0602N's must have a single controlling (master) unit
on it. Assigning the master unit on the bus is
accomplished by setting unit ID addresses.
When using only one AB-0602N with smart remotes
control, the unit must be set to UNIT ADDRESS 00.
If multiple AB-0602N's are used then one of them
(and ONLY one of them) must be set to UNIT
ADDRESS 00. The remaining units may be set to
any other unit address. It is recommended that they
be set to consecutive numbers starting at 01.

CREATING AND SAVING SCENES
Scenes to be activated by an AB-0602N must first be
created and stored (recorded) in the unit. Scene
recording stores the current intensity levels of all six
channels in the unit regardless of how they were set.
Intensity levels for a scene can be set using only the
dimmer or by operating the unit with a DMX
console. Each scene created has an associated user
settable fade time.
A universal BLACKOUT scene (all channels OFF)
is also available. It appears as scene number 00 in
the menus. The blackout scene has a user settable
fade time.
