Currently available fader remotes are the AF-2004,
AF-3007 and the AF-5013.
Fader remotes are scene block addressable so you can
select which scenes will be activated it. There are 3
scene blocks available. Each block includes 16 scenes.
The first block starts 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.). The 2nd and 3rd
scene blocks begin at scene 67 and 83 respectively.
Multiple remotes of this type may be but are not
required to be set to the same block of scenes. Refer
to the fader smart remote owner manual for specific
info on setting scene blocks.
SIMPLE REMOTES OPERATION
Scenes 1 - 7 (stored in the AR-1202) may be accessed
by simple remotes. A BLACKOUT FUNCTION may
also be accessed. A simple remote is any switch
which can provide a momentary contact closure that
can be applied to a specific pin on the AR-1202
SIMPLE REMOTE UNIT INPUTS terminal strip.
Lightronics currently offers a APP01 simple remote.
This is a "center off , single pole, double throw,
momentary toggle switch". It can be used as a simple
entrance switch to activate a scene when someone
enters an area. Alternative devices such as relays,
timers, and motion sensors can be connected to AR-
1202 dimmers as simple remotes. These are available
from a variety of manufacturers.
Operation of a simple remote is dependent upon the
device used. In the case of the Lightronics APP01 it is
a simple matter of pushing the switch.
EVENT SYSTEM OPERATION
The AR-1202 includes an internal clock and timer sub
system. This subsystem may be used to create events
which activate and switch between preset lighting
scenes based upon times, days, and dates. A total of
128 events may be programmed.
The clock operates without AC power for aprox. 2
weeks and does not require a battery. Event settings
are retained in non volatile memory therefore they
will not be lost if the AR-1202 powered off.
An event is used to trigger any one of 100 scenes
which have been previously created and stored in the
AR-1202. Any scene may be used by multiple events.
A scene may be set to turn ON, or OFF, or be ignored
by an event.
An event may be set to trigger based on a date of the
year and a time. This enables scene activation for one
time or infrequent occurances such as holidays.
An event may also be set to trigger on a daily or
multiple times per day basis. Additionally specific
days of a week can be designated to be used or
skipped. This is a more common type of operation
where events are triggered on a regular schedule.
