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
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.

5 ADDING OR DELETING TRANSMITTER & CREATING GROUP CHANNELS
5.1 Using Motor P1 Button
5.2 Using a preexisting Controller
IMPORTANT
Multiple motors can be paired to the dry contact input transmitter for group control. Their limit settings and
favorite positions should be individually adjusted by a single channel remote, which is only paired to one of
those motors
• Confirm that motor limits and favorite position are already set for each individual motor.
• Ensure that each motor you want to group is also assigned to a channel by itself or another remote.
NOTE: This is not applicable in mechanical switching mode.

NOTE: The time interval of each pulse should be in the range of 0.25 ~ 2.0 seconds. The motor rotation can
be stopped by using the STOP button or the UP & DOWN together in the roller motor mode. In the tilt mode,
each closing pulse triggers the motor to move one small step but a pulse longer than 2 seconds can trigger
continuous movement of the motor.

Problem Cause Remedy
Motor is not responding
Switch power supply is not
connected
Check power source and
connections.
Radio interference / Shielding
Ensure switch is positioned away
from metal objects and that
the antenna on motors are kept
straight and away from metal.
Receiver distance is too far from
switch Move switch to a closer position.
Power failure
Check power supply to motor is
connected and active (non-battery
motors).
Incorrect motor wiring
Check motor wiring is connected
correctly (refer to motor
installation instructions).
Cannot set limits on a single
motor (multiple motors respond)
Transmitter has group control
function set and drives all the
paired motors together
Use an ARC remote to individually
adjust motor limits.
Use P1 motor button to set other
motors in group into “Sleep” mode.
SYSTEM BEST PRACTICE - Provide
an extra 15 channel switch or
remote in you multi motor projects
to provide individual control for
each motor for programming/
configuration purposes.
Motor will not go down after
setting the top limit
Top limit was set using the down
and stop buttons
Reset the motor and begin
programming sequence again.
Remember that upper limit is to be
set using the up and stop and the
down limit is set using the down
and stop.
