AUTOMATE | Dry contact input transmitter enables most common mechanical switches
or automation systems relays to control ARC motorized shades. It functions as a single
channel transmitter and accepts dry contact input. Once a motor or group of motors
are paired to the transmitter, it converts the dry contact inputs and sends ARC radio
commands to trigger those motors to move upward/downward.
FEATURES:
• Interface between third party smart home systems and ARC motors
• Three dry contact inputs
• Wireless signal output
• ARC motor communication protocol
• Group Motor Control
• Four switch modes
• 12V or 24V power source compatible
