Basic programming
The functionality of the AR-SG-4SM-W scene plate is controlled by a number of parameters which can be changed or
programmed by any of the following devices:
 UHS4 Infrared Handset
 UNLCDHS Infrared Handset (with LCD). See advanced programming section starting on page 6.
 ALC programming software + USB cable (Micro B USB to Standard type A USB. Not supplied).
This product guide shows how to program the AR-SG-4SM-W using the UHS4 and UNLCDHS.
Step 1: Entry into Configuration mode
Step 2: Set input channel (scene button) addresses
The addressing for an input channel (scene button) defines the
devices that will respond to any control messages sent by the
Scene Plate.
For example, activating an input that has its Local Code set to
1, generates a control message that will only be actioned by
devices that also have a Local Code of 1.
To program the settings for a specific input channel you must
specify the appropriate channel number (i.e.1 to 7) using the
programming device.
If no channel number (or channel 0) is specified, all input
channels will be set to the same address.
Configuration parameters can be programmed via Infrared or RF commands. For RF command connect the AT-PC-USB
and run ALC programming software.
Function IR mode RF mode
Entry Press buttons 1 and 2 together for 3 seconds to enable
IR data reception.
Press buttons 3 and 4 together to
3 seconds to activate
configuration via RF commands
Timeout 30secs Every time a config parameter is
received in active mode it will set
timeout to 10secs.
LED
indication
Fascia Ring will blink until IR port is active. Led1 will
blink indicating right IR command is received.
Fascia Ring will blink until RF
mode is active.

Parameter Name Default Value Range / options Description
Device Addressing - This will set the addressing parameters for all the channels in Scene Plate.
Local Code 1 1 to 999 This number denotes the local code for all input channels available.
Sub Local Code Not set 1 to 99
0 to clear
A number corresponding to the Sub Local Code to be controlled by
the associated input channel.
Area Code(s) Not set 1 to 999 A number corresponding to the Area Code of all input channels. Up to
10 area codes can be set for each channel.
Product ID Automatically
assigned by the
device
1 to 999 A number used to uniquely identify each device within a range of
devices that are set to the same Local Code.
Building Code 1 1 to 999 A number shared by all devices that belong to the same building or
system.
Individual Input Channel - If a particular channel needs to be modified, press channel button and select particular channel number.
Addressing Same method as device addressing above. The addressing for each individual input can be changed.
Button Behaviour
Changes in the state of an input (e.g. from inactive to
active) generate different events that can then be used to
trigger various control functions.
The events generated depend on whether momentary or
latching mode is selected (via the Switch Type parameter -
“Param Set”).
Control Functions
Each type of input event can be used to trigger any of the
following control functions:
 Scene Select
used to select a specific lighting scene. Depending on
the input channel addressing both Local and/or Area
scenes can be selected.
 Scene Raise or Lower
used to increase or decrease the overall lighting levels
for the currently active scene.
 Circuit Absolute Level
used to set the level of a specific output channel.
 Circuit Raise or Lower
used to increase or decrease the level of a specific
output channel.
 Sequence Control
used to start, stop or pause a sequence of scenes.
 Override Control
used to select global override scenes, typically during
emergency situations (e.g. fire evacuation).
 Emergency Test
used to test device/systems for correct operation during
a mains power failure.
The table below and on page 7 gives a summary of all
programmable parameters for the AR-SG-4SM-W Scene
Plate.
 By default at first Power On Addressing parameters will be set to default values. Set addressing parameters as
required.
 To configure custom parameters from the handset. Navigate to “Input channels”, AN10 Select Product AR-SG-
4SM Input Channels. Using the Channel Button, select the particular channel to be configured or select “ALL
channels” to configure all channels. Scroll down to “Buttons events” and select the correct “Param Set” number for
the type of switch and operation required (see page 7 of product guide).
 Next navigate to “Input Function”, select and send the required input function number for each input (see opposite).
Example. On scene Recall on input 1, select input 1 using the channel button, and send a “Input Function” number 1,
for Off scene recall on input 2, select input 2 and send “Input Function” number 2.
 If it is set to NONE for particular input no action will be generated.

The local scene request sent to all devices with the same Local Code,
when movement is detected. If input function selected is Scene recall
then this parameter can act as local or area scene depending on the
value set.
If input function selected is On circuit absolute or Off circuit absolute
then if value is set between 0 to 100 it will set Local ON level to the
level set.
If value is set between 101 to 201 it will set Area ON Level to
normalized to 0 to 100% level.
Value of 101 to 201 will correspond to 0 to 100% of light level.

the Local Of f Scene will be implemented.
Step Scene is only implemented when no movement is detected
during timeout period.

Range The maximum RF range between An-10
devices is 100m in free air and up to 30m
indoors. However the materials used within
a building will vary and this will impact upon
the RF range. In reality the nature of how
the An-10’s hybrid-mesh works means that
in most scenarios the individual range of an
An-10 product will not be important.
