Updating The Driver Firmware; Wireless Arcmesh Luminaires; Rdm Luminaires; Arclamp With Arcmesh Configuration And Commissioning - ETC ArcLamp System Installation Manual

Note:
All ArcLamp Drivers are factory set to provide 100% output level to all
circuits. This allows an electrical contractor to check that all products are properly
installed and wired. During system commissioning, the certified ETC technician will
remove this setting and configure DMX addresses for normal use. During normal use
after commissioning is complete, ArcLamps will light if the DMX Control level is greater
than 0.

Updating the Driver Firmware

When commissioning a system installation, check all ArcSystem drivers and multi-cell luminaires
to ensure that the latest firmware is present. If the firmware is not up to date, upgrade it
following the instructions below for your luminaire type.

Wireless ArcMesh Luminaires

Upgrade luminaire firmware using the ArcSystem Configuration Software. The fixture firmware
file and ArcSystem Configuration Software are available for free at etcconnect.com.

RDM Luminaires

Upgrade luminaire firmware using ETC Concert and ETC UpdaterAtor software before
commissioning is completed. For more information on UpdaterAtor, download the UpdaterAtor
Software Quick Guide for free at etcconnect.com.

ArcLamp with ArcMesh Configuration and Commissioning

Initial system programming of a wireless ArcLamp system requires a USB commissioning tool (ARC-CT)
and existing hardware such as a laptop or desktop computer that is connected to the ArcMesh
network. This programming will be carried out by an ETC certified technician at the time of
system commissioning and training.
The following checklist will be included during the configuration process:
patching groups of fixtures to specific DMX channels
•
assigning minimum and maximum dimming levels per group
•
assigning power fail/recovery options per group
•
