AK SERIES ARCHITECTURAL REMOTE STATION
Version 0.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AK Series remote units are wall mounted, multiscene
remotes for use with the
architectural control system. The LitNet host units
consist of the AR and AB series of architectural
dimmers, the RA rack mount dimmers and the SR &
SC architectural controllers. Each button activates a
complete lighting scene. LED indicators show which
scene is active.
There are currently three models available:
AK1005
AK1003
AK1002
AK Series units fit into a standard single gang wall
switch boxes. They communicate on LitNet via a four
wire bus which will accommodate several remotes and
other controls. All LitNet wiring is low voltage.
The units generally operate in an exclusive mode
where only one scene can be active at a time.
scene may be toggled on and off. When a scene is
selected, the lighting circuits fade, at a user controlled
rate, to the setting for that scene.
Scenes activated by these remotes are actually set up
and stored in the LitNet host. The remotes only tell the
host which scene(s) to activate.
INSTALLATION

host(s) before making connections

conductor cable arranged as 2 twisted pairs. One pair
connects to the DATA - and DATA + signals. The
other pair carries the common and power.

OPERATION
No setup or turn on procedure is needed. When the
LitNet host is powered on, the AK1005 will also be
powered. If communication with the LitNet host
cannot be established, an AK1005 will appear to be

already been created and stored in the LitNet host. See
the host product Owner's Manual for instruction on
