ARC-2 Wall Panel
ARC-2
Adaptive Remote Control Wall Panel
The ARC-2 is a menu-driven remote control for Symetrix DSPs such
as the 8x8 DSP, and the SymNet Express Cobra line (8x8, 12x4, 4x12
and 4x4). Tap into the full power of your system with twenty-four
(24) menus with up to sixteen (16) items each that can be used to ad-
dress multiple basic functions or initiate complex logic-based control
events: gain, preset triggering, source selection, room combining
and more. The 8-character backlit display supports up to thirty-one
(31) scrolling characters, providing instant user feedback for control
assignments, default settings, and actions. The three buttons help
you navigate menus, raise or lower values, and enable or disable
the remote control. All control assignments, including item labeling,
parameter limits and firmware version upgrades are handled by
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. Intuitive Navigation: Pressing the menu
button navigates through the menu names. The menu button also acts
as a preset trigger when a preset list is scrolled. The up/down arrow
buttons adjust parameter settings and scroll through preset lists.
Holding the menu button and using the up/down arrow keys moves
you forward or backward through the menus. Programmable Setup:
The wall panel’s behavior is programmable as well. Menu brightness
in “active” and “inactive” states can be set independently, so the
display will “sleep” in light-sensitive environments like theaters. If
the ARC-2 goes idle, it can scroll a message and return to the top of
its menu tree. Upper and lower parameter limits help contain the
range of adjustment and a button press lockout will prevent tamper-
ing by curious but unauthorized fingers. Available with an aluminum
faceplate, ARC-2 mounts into a single gang electrical box (US).
Architect and Engineer Specifications: Adaptive Remote Control (ARC).
The series of remote control wall panels shall be designated in two groups – Menu ARC, and Modular ARC. The Menu ARC (ARC-2) shall include one 8-character backlit
alpha-numeric display, one momentary button for menu selection, and two momentary buttons for value increment/decrement. The Menu ARC shall mount in a standard U.S.
single-gang backbox. Power and control shall be connected via two RJ-45 connectors, or screw-type barrier-strip. Modular ARC wall panels shall consist of multiple models that
mount in standard U.S. single- or dual-gang backboxes, and shall be compatible with standard Decora
®
faceplates. ARC-K1 shall include one push-button rotary encoder, one
eight-segment LED stack, and two status LED indicators; ARC-SW4 shall include four momentary buttons with four corresponding status LED indicators; ARC-EXK shall include
one push-button rotary encoder, one eight-segment LED stack, and two status LED indicators, ARC-EX4 shall include four momentary buttons with four corresponding status
LED indicators; ARC-SWK shall consist of one ARC-K1 tied to one ARC-EX4. ARC-Mic shall include one onboard electret condenser microphone and one momentary push-to-talk
button, tied to one ARC-EX4; ARC-XLR shall include one 3-pin female XLR connector and one momentary push-to-talk button, tied to one ARC-EX4. Adaptive Remote Controls
shall function as external user controllers for Symetrix DSP systems. A designer software application shall be provided for assigning control within DSP system components.
RS-485 communications shall be utilized for software control and configuration. The series of wall panels shall be CE marked, CSA tested to UL 60065. The series of wall panels
shall be Adaptive Remote Control (ARC).
