7.2 WAYS TO CONTROL
The light can be controlled in several ways:
Use Astera ARC1 infrared remote control, point it at individual lights and press
the desired effect.
The AsteraApp™ is an efficient way to quickly create a customized light
show. It can group several lights together, address individual lights or groups
of lights, and send complex effects with a user defined color palette to all
lights in range. For additional information refer to chapter 8.
Alternatively, the Astera ARC2 remote control can be used.
The light can also be controlled by CRMX wireless DMX, the built in receiver is
compatible with all LumenRadio CRMX transmitters as well as W-DMX™ G2,
G3, G4 and G4S transmitters (G4 and G4S in 2.4 GHz mode only).
You can also use an Astera ART3 Wireless DMX Transmitter to send DMX in the
UHF frequency band, although CRMX is the recommended method.
Power the light on/off, set a static color or change its settings.
(see chapter 7.8 for details on how to set a static color with the button)

7.3 CONTROL BY INFRARED WITH ARC1
The light can be controlled by the infrared remote control if:
• INPUT SELECT is set to AUTO or APP CONTROL (refer to chapter 8.15.3).
• The light is currently NOT operated by DMX. If it is, only ON and OFF will work while
INPUT SELECT is set to AUTO.
The ARC1 is very handy to switch several lights on or off at a time. The ARC1 can also accept
configuration commands that are sent from the AsteraApp™ to a light by pressing the POW-
ER ON button.
