AC-1109 ARCHITECTURAL REMOTE STATION
Version 0.B OWNERS MANUAL 06/08/2010
DESCRIPTION OF UNIT
The AC-1109 is a wall mounted, eight scene, remote
station for use with the Lightronics AR-1202
architectural dimmer. User operation is as simple as
it can get (eight numbered scene buttons and an
"OFF" control). LED scene indicators always
display the active scene number.
The unit fits into a standard single gang wall switch
box. The unit communicates with the AR-1202 via a
four wire bus which will accommodate multiple AC1109 units and other wall station controls. All AC1109 wiring is low voltage.
The unit basically operates in an exclusive mode
where one scene may be activated at a time. When a
scene is selected, the AR-1202 fades at a user
controlled rate to that scene. A blackout button is
also provided to shut all scenes.
Scenes activated by the AC-1109 are actually set up
and stored in the AR-1202 dimmer. The AC-1109
only tells the AR-1202 which scene to activate. The
AR-1202 dimmer can be programmed to respond to
the AC-1109 in various ways to create zone controls.
The AC-1109 is normally factory set to operate with
scenes 1 - 8 (block 1) of the AR-1202 dimmer. It
can be factory set to operate with other blocks of 8
scenes as follows.
Block 1 Scenes 1 - 8 Block 4 Scenes 25 - 32
Block 2 Scenes 9 - 16 Block 5 Scenes 33 - 40
Block 3 Scenes 17- 24 Block 6 Scenes 41 - 48
Multiple AC-1109 units using different scene blocks
can be used together to create zone control.
INSTALLATION
The AC-1109 connects to the AR-1202 via a
shielded 4 conductor cable arranged as 2 twisted
pairs. One pair connects to the DATA - and DATA
+ signals. The other pair carries the common and
power. Refer to the diagram AC-1109
CONNECTIONS in this manual for additional
wiring information.
SINGLE UNIT: Connect the 4 cable wires to the
screw down terminals on the back of the unit.
Connect the cable shield to the REMOTE
COMMON pin. The other end of the cable connects
to a small terminal strip inside the AR-1202 dimmer.
See the AR-1202 Owners Manual for additional
wiring details.
MULTIPLE UNITS: Follow the instructions for a
single unit for the first AC-1109. Connect pin 1 of
the second unit to pin 1 of the first unit. Continue for
the remaining wires and shield. Repeat the
procedure for additional AC-1109 units.
OPERATION
No setup or turn on procedure is needed. When the
AR-1202 dimmer is powered on, the AC-1109(s)
will also be powered. If communication with the
AR-1202 cannot be established, an AC-1109 will
appear to be repeatedly scanning through all scenes.
Scenes to be activated by an AC-1109 must have
already been created and stored in the AR-1202. See
the AR-1202 Owners Manual for instruction on
programming scenes.
If a scene is activated from an "OFF" condition but
has no channels assigned to it which are on or
partially on then the scene LED indicator will light
and the "OFF" indicator will remain lighted.
If a scene with no channels on or partially on is
activated while another scene which does have on or
partially on channels is active then the LED
indicator for the scene will light and the previous
scene indicator will remain lighted
