Introduction
The AC-1 Auxiliary Controller controls your components by sending
infrared and serial commands to your ccGEN2 system. Installing
multiple AC-1’s expands zones throughout the home or commercial
space. It controls equipment such as shades and TV lifts using the base
stations sensors, relays and serial ports. Also control URC RF Lighting
using the optional RFTX-1 transmitter.
Features and Benefits
●Expand Control
Add an AC-1 to a ccGEN2 system and expand control to
other rooms/areas in the home or office. Components
located out of reach from the CP-1 Central Processor may be
controlled via IR, RS-232 or Relays by using an AC-1.
●Lighting Control
By connecting an optional RFTX-1 RF Transmitter, take
control of your URC lighting (within range). Control a
specific light, a whole room or even the entire home from
any remote control or iOS device.
●Sensor Automation
Using URC’s sensors for audio (SEN-AUD), video (SEN-VID),
voltage (SEN-VOLT), light (SEN-LITE), current (SEN-CMF) and
contact closures (SEN-CCLS) helps to automate the simplest
tasks throughout your home or commercial space directly
from your ccGEN2 RM-1 or RM-2 remote control.
