ARC-PS
Rack Mount Wall Panel Power Supply
The ARC-PS is a nineteen (19) inch rack-mountable power supply ca-
pable of supplying power and control over CAT5 cable to a maximum
of ten ARC Wall Panels. Panels can be connected in a “star” con-
figuration, “daisy-chain”, or a hybrid of the two. RS-485 from a DSP
device is connected to the ARC-PS Euroblock connector. The device
includes eight (8) RJ-45 connectors for CAT5 cable, and corresponding
Euroblock connectors for eight (8) discrete channels of ARC Audio.

!
Main Power: Accepts power from Symetrix PS-4 (included) power
supply only (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 15 VDC output, 20 Watts max).
@
RS-485: Connects the SymNet system’s RS-485 bus, wired in parallel
(A to A, B to B and GND to GND) using shielded twisted pair.
#
Remote ARCs (x8): Distributes power and RS-485 data to one or more
ARC devices.
$
ARC Audio (x8): Splits a single analog line level audio signal off of the
ARC port. Can be wired to a line level analog input or output jack for
remote audio over CAT5.
