DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
The AC-2116 is a wall mounted, sixteen scene, digital
remote for use with the Lightronics AR-1202
architectural dimmer. User operation is as simple as it
can get (16 numbered scene buttons and an "OFF"
control). LED scene indicators always display the
active scene number.
The unit fits into a standard double gang wall switch
box. The unit communicates with the AR-1202 via a 4
wire bus which will accommodate multiple AC-2116
units and other remote units. All AC-2116 wiring is
low voltage.
The unit 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
off all scenes. Scenes activated by the AC-2116 are
actually set up and stored in the AR-1202 dimmer.
The AC-2116 only tells the AR-1202 which scene to
activate. The AR-1202 dimmer can be programmed to
respond to the AC-2116 in various ways to create zone
controls.
INSTALLATION
CONNECTIONS
The AC-2116 connects to the AR-1202 dimmer via a
shielded 4 conductor cable arranged as 2 twisted pairs.
A data grade, low capacitance cable (less than 25 pf
per foot) is required to assure trouble free data
transmission to and from the AC-2116. One pair
connects to the
pair carries the power
The cable shield should be connected to the
A connection diagram is provided at the end of this
manual.
SINGLE UNIT: Connect the 4 cable wires to the
screw down terminals on the back of the unit. Connect
the cable shield to the
The other end of the cable connects to a small terminal

owners manual for additional wiring details.
MULTIPLE UNITS: Follow the instructions for a
single unit for the first AC-2116. Connect the
corresponding connector pins of the second unit to
those of the first unit. Repeat the procedure for
additional AC-2116 units.
MULTIPLE UNITS OF DIFERENT TYPES: The
AC-2116 may be connected together with other
Lightronics smart remotes. These remotes all have the
same connection scheme. Connect the AC-2116 to the
other remotes by connecting like signal names together

OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATION
No setup or turn on procedure is needed. When the
AR-1202 dimmer is powered on, the AC-2116(s) will
also be powered. The unit comes on in an "all scenes
off" condition. If communication with the AR-1202
cannot be established, an AC-2116 will appear to be
repeatedly scanning through all scenes.
Scenes to be activated by an AC-2116 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 ON.
If a scene which has 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 ON.
SCENE ASSIGNMENTS
AC-2116s operate by activating scenes 1 thru 16 in the
AR-1202. If multiple AC-2116 units are used together
then they will all operate scenes 1 - 16.
It is possible to have an AC-2116 operate other scenes
but the unit must be ordered with special programming.
