AK SERIES ARCHITECTURAL REMOTE STATION
Version 0.1 OWNERS MANUAL 08/08/2011
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AK Series remote units are wall mounted, multiscene
remotes for use with the Lightronics AR-1202
architectural dimmer and certain other Lightronics
products. Each button activates a complete lighting
scene. LED indicators show which scene active .
There are currently three models available:
AK-1005 5 Scenes
AK-1003 3 Scenes
AK-1002 2 Scenes
AK Series units fit into standard single gang wall
switch boxes. They communicates with the AR-1202
via a 4 wire bus which will accommodate several
remotes and other controls. All wiring is low voltage.
The units generally operate in an exclusive mode
where only one scene can be active at a time. Each
scene may be toggled on and off. When a scene is
selected, the AR-1202 circuits fade, at a user controlled
rate, to the setting for that scene.
Scenes activated by these remotes are actually set up
and stored in the AR-1202 dimmer. The remotes only
tell the AR-1202 which scene(s) to activate.
INSTALLATION
Remove all power from the AR-1202
before making connections
CAUTION
AK Series units connect 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.
See the diagram
"CONNECTOR WIRING"
for details.
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 terminal.
The other end of the cable connects to a small terminal
strip inside the AR-1202 dimmer. Refer to the AR1202 Owners Manual for complete wiring details.
AK-1005
MULTIPLE UNITS: Follow the instructions for a
single unit for the first AK Series remote. Connect the
terminals of the second unit to the corresponding
terminals of the of the first unit (create a "daisy
chain").
Additional units can be added in the same manner.
Do not make multiple "home runs" to the AR-1202 or
create a "star network".
OPERATION
SCENE SETUP
Scenes to be activated by an AK Series remote must
have already been created and stored in the AR-1202
dimmer. See the AR-1202 Owners Manual for
instructions on programming scenes.
AK Series remotes are used with AR-1202 scenes
starting at scene one (the top button). The remaining
buttons use the next consecutive numbered scenes. If
multiple units are used, they will ALL use scenes
starting at scene one.
It is possible to make AK Series remotes operate with
other scenes but the unit must be ordered with special
factory programming to do so.
