Note: ArcSystem Pro One-Cell Micro and ArcSystem Pro One-Cell standard
luminaires are not interchangeable. One-Cell Micro luminaires require a D2 driver to
function; One-Cell and One-Cell Small luminaires require a D1 driver or D4 driver to
function.
Note: All ArcSystem wireless luminaires require a TX1 Transmitter and
commissioning tool to set DMX addresses for both wired DMX and wireless
installations. Contact your ETC Service Technician for more information.

System Overview 9
TX1 Transmitter
The TX1 Transmitter is the DMX wireless gateway for the ArcMesh
protocol.
One transmitter:
•
Controls up to 100 devices across 64 DMX addresses.
•
Has a 24 preset scene memory.
•
Has DMX wired output for control of third party equipment
within scene store.
•
Has two auxiliary inputs for closed contact connection to
trigger a stored scene.
Each transmitter can be set to one of 16 available network IDs
allowing multiple transmitters to be used concurrently without
“cross-talk.” When two or more transmitters are set to the same
network ID and radio channel, the transmitter with the highest
MAC address acts as a master with the others assuming the role of
backup.
For information on system installation, see TX1 Installation on
page 47 .
ArcMesh
ArcSystem products can be controlled using wired DMX through RJ45 connections, or the
wireless ArcMesh protocol. A wireless installation is an ideal solution for retrofit situations where
installing additional cable is not practical.
The following diagram illustrates a basic hybrid ArcSystem installation with a wireless luminaire,
TX1 Transmitter, and a wired DMX console for the main control source.

TX1 Transmitter
Each system requires a minimum of one TX1 Transmitter. The TX1 is used as a transmitter of
wireless data to luminaires or other devices within a system.
Note: By default the TX1 DMXoutput is disabled. If you require DMX output from the
TX1, you must use the ArcSystem comissioning tool software to add DMXfixtures.

10 ArcSystem Installation Manual
ArcMesh Specifications
•
Use up to 100 devices per TX1 transmitter.
•
Patch up to 64 ArcMesh channels to 512 DMX
channels.
•
Use up to 16 TX1 transmitters per system.
There are no system range limitations for transmitting
data between luminaires because each luminaire has the
ability to act as a repeater (see Re-Broadcast Mode
below). ArcSystem is self-regulating and continues to
reconfigure the communication “mesh” to establish the
most successful path of communication transmission.
Re-Broadcast Mode
By default all ArcSystem luminaires are shipped with Re-
broadcast Mode turned off to reduce the amount of
wireless activity. In areas of poor wireless reception, re-
broadcast mode may be enabled on a luminaire-by-
luminaire basis to improve the overall signal level of the
system.
CAUTION: If re-broadcast mode is
required, use this feature in as few
luminaires as possible to avoid unnecessary
traffic on the network and possible system
performance issues.

System Overview 11
Emergency System Overview
ArcSystem drivers and luminaires can be purchased in UL924 listed variants. Each of the
luminaires can be configured to be UL924 listed when wired into an existing emergency
response system.
•
See Emergency System One-Cell Installation on page26 .
•
See Emergency System Multi-Cell Installation on page37 .
Install the ArcSystem D1, D2, or D4 Series driver or multi-cell luminaire in a location that is
accessible by qualified personnel for testing of the emergency operation.
Install the ArcSystem multi-cell luminaire in a location that is accessible by qualified personnel
for testing of the emergency operation.
Note: Luminaires must be hard-wired to emergency certified drivers to be considered
for UL924 certification.
Note: The number of designated emergency lamps and their height is the
responsibility of the specifier and installer in order to achieve the minimum FC levels of
NFPA101. Installation scenarios should be evaluated by the AHJ to confirm illuminance
and performance requirements of ANSI/NFPA 101 and the IBC.
Note: ArcSystem Pro One-Cell Micro luminaires in emergency installations must be
installed with a maximum mounting height of 23.2 ft (7.07 m).
Note: Installation must follow all national and local codes for electrical equipment.
Note: Normal and emergency wiring cannot be contained in the same conduit
according to NEC 700.10(B).

12 ArcSystem Installation Manual
Emergency drivers and luminaires require two branch circuit connections. These inputs have the
following functions:
1. Normal branch circuit to sense failure of the normal supply. Connect to Sense Input
connector.
2. Normal/Emergency branch circuit providing power to the luminaire in both conditions.
Connect to Maintained Input connector.
Sense detects when power is lost and forces the luminaire to a full-on state, powered by the
emergency supply through the Constant Power input. Control of the luminaire will not be
available until the sense input has been restored.
WARNING: Do not mix 120 V and 277 V between the sense and
emergency feeds.
AVERTISSEMENT : Ne pas inverser les alimentations à 120V et 277V
entre les alimentations de détection et de secours.
WARNING: Sense (normal) and Maintained (normal/emergency) feeds
must have the same phase. The diagram below shows the recommended
installation.

Before You Begin Installation
Review the following sections before beginning your ArcSystem installation. ArcSystem products
should only be installed by a qualified installer or electrician.
Power Disconnect Device
Before installation, make sure you have a readily accessible input power disconnect device
installed ahead of your ArcSystem products.
WARNING: RISK OF DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK! Failure to disconnect all
power to the system before installation, maintenance, cleaning, or any
other system modification could result in serious injury or death.
AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE MORT PAR DÉCHARGE ÉLECTRIQUE!
Négliger de débrancher toutes les sources d’alimentation du système avant
l’installation, l’entretien, le nettoyage ou toute autre modification du
système peut causer des blessures graves ou la mort.
De-energize main feed to ArcSystem and follow appropriate Lockout/Tagout
procedures as mandated by NFPA 70E. It is important to note that electrical
equipment such as breaker panels can present an arc flash hazard if
improperly serviced. This is due to the high amounts of short-circuit current
available on the electrical supply to this equipment. Any work must comply
with OSHA Safe Working Practices.
WARNING: Circuits that are installed without an accessible power
disconnect device cannot be serviced or operated safely.
AVERTISSEMENT : Il est imprudent d'utiliser ou de réparer les circuits
installés sans qu'un dispositif de déconnexion de l'alimentation ne soit
accessible.
Site Survey for Wireless Installations
ArcSystem transmitters and luminaires operate in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band using the IEEE
802.15.4 standard. This band is shared with other technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, low
power sensor networks, wireless AV transmitters and some radio microphones.
Before commissioning a system, a wireless site survey is essential.
Gathering information on how your wireless lighting system will overlap with all other Wi-Fi
traffic in the area will help determine setup of transmitters and which luminaires should be re-
broadcasting, not just receiving wireless data.
Installation Requirements
•
Indoor installation only: 0–40°C (32–104°F), 5–95% non-condensing humidity.
•
Dry locations only.
•
Installation location must support the weight of the luminaire, driver, and applicable
mounting hardware.
CAUTION: ArcSystem luminaires and drivers are not suitable for use in
spaces with restricted air flow. Enclosing the luminaires or drivers temporarily
or permanently may cause damage to the luminaires or drivers.
