AF-3107 ARCHITECTURAL REMOTE STATION

Version 0.01 04/26/2011

INTRODUCTION

The AF-3107 is a 6 scene, wall mount remote control
unit intended for use with the Lightronics AR-1202
Architectural dimmer. The unit fits in a standard three
gang wall switch box.

All power and data connections are via a 4 wire
communication bus between itself and the AR-1202
dimmer.

The unit provides manual fader control of 6 scenes. A
7th fader is provided as a master control for all six
scenes. Pushbutton switches are provided to activate a
blackout and all full on selection. LED indicators
provide status feedback.

Multiple units may be chained together to provide
dimmer control from various locations. The AF-3107
may also be used with other Lightronics architectural
remote stations.

connections

The AF-3107 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 AF-3107. One pair
connects to the

MULTIPLE UNITS OF DIFERENT TYPES: The AF­3107 may be connected together with other Lightronics
smart remotes. These remotes all have the same
connection scheme. Connect the AF-3107 to the other
remotes by connecting like signal names together
(

SCENE ASSIGNMENTS

AF-3107s operate by fading scenes 51 thru 56 in the
AR-1202. The left hand end fader (#1) corresponds to
scene 51. If multiple AF-3107 units are used together
then they will all operate scenes 51 - 56.

It is possible to have an AF-3107 operate other scenes
but the unit must be ordered with special programming.

OPERATION

No setup or turn on procedure is needed. When the
AR-1202 unit is powered on, the AF-3107 will also be
activated. The AF-3107 will activate in the "all scenes
off" State.

The scenes activated by the AF-3107 must be created
and stored in the AR-1202 prior to activation. See the
AR-1202 owners manual for detailed instructions for
creating and storing scenes. Scene numbers proceed
from left to right at the AF-3107.

The AF-3107 faders operate in a pile-on mode on a
"greatest of" basis. This means that the intensity of a
dimmer channel will be at the intensity of the scene
calling for the highest intensity level.

The OFF button causes all six scenes to be blacked out
(turned off).

The ON button causes all six scenes to be fully
activated (turned on).
