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 installing the ArcSystem TX1 Transmitter for use
with ArcMesh installations, see the ArcSystem Installation Manual at

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.
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.
