All ArcSystem wireless luminaires require a TX1 Transmitter and commissioning tool to set DMX addresses for both wired DMX and wireless installations. Contact your ETC Service Technician for more information. Note: By default the TX1 DMX output is disabled. If you require DMX output from the TX1, you must use the ArcSystem comissioning tool software to add DMX fixtures. -
Page 13: Arcmesh Specifications
ArcMesh Specifications • Use up to 100 devices per TX1 transmitter. • Patch up to 64 ArcMesh channels to 512 DMX channels. • Use up to 16 TX1 transmitters per system. There are no system range limitations for transmitting data between luminaires because each luminaire has the ability to act as a repeater (see Re-Broadcast Mode below). - Page 14 Emergency drivers and luminaires require two branch circuit connections. These inputs have the following functions: 1. Normal branch circuit to sense failure of the normal supply. Connect to Sense Input connector. 2. Normal/Emergency branch circuit providing power to the luminaire in both conditions. Connect to Maintained Input connector.

Page 55: Output Channel Control Switches
Output Channel Control Switches Each output channel on the D4 Driver is controlled by a switch block (S1–S4, shown below). Switch positions 2–5 are factory set to allow individual control of each output. In order to bridge channels together, you must adjust the positions of switches 2–5. LED 4 LED 3 Switch... - Page 56 Switch Blocks Each of the four switch blocks controls one output channel. • Switch block S1 controls the output channel labeled "LED 1" on D4 Driver 150 or "CH 4" on D4 Driver 350 and 700. • Switch block S2 controls the output channel labeled "LED 2" on D4 Driver 150 or "CH 3" on D4 Driver 350 and 700.
- Page 57 Setting Switches 2 Through 5 for Bridged Output Channels Note: Each output channel that you want to bridge must have the same setting for switch positions 2–5 as the other output channels in the bridge. Output channels that are electrically connected (bridged) with different switch settings may have reduced capacity.

Page 58: Example Bridge Configurations
Example Bridge Configurations All Four Output Channels Bridged Bridging four output channels can be done as shown below for maximum load capacity on one circuit and control on output channel 1. The bridged circuit can be assigned to any output channel as long as all four switch blocks (S1–S4) are set the same. The illustration and table below show all four output channels bridged together to form bridged output channel 1. - Page 59 Output Channels Bridged in Pairs Bridging pairs of output channels can be done as shown below for control on output channel 1 and output channel 2, or on any pair of output channels as long as the output channels that are electrically connected (bridged) have the same switch block settings. The illustrations and table below show output channel 1 and output channel 2 bridged to form bridged output channel 1 and output channel 3 and output channel 4 bridged to form bridged output channel 3.
- Page 60 Three Output Channels Bridged Bridging three output channels can be done as shown below for control on output channel 1, or on any channel as long as the three output channels that are electrically connected (bridged) have the same switch block settings. The fourth output channel can be assigned to any of the three remaining channels.
