Features:

• Distributes power and data to multiple ARC wall panels via eight RJ-45 connectors over long distances.

• Connects directly to any Integrator Series, Jupiter or Symetrix DSP unit using standard CAT5/6 cables.

• Supports flexible ‘star’ configuration, ‘daisy-chain’, or a hybrid of the two.

• Versatile half-rack design. All hardware is included to mount 1 or 2 in a single rack space or to surface mount.

• ARC Power Calculator spreadsheet helps determine maximum ARC quantities and distances between wall panels.

Specifications¶

Total ARC Cable Length (RS-485 from DSP to furthest ARC): Standard CAT5/6, maximum total cable length = 4000 feet / 1219 meters for RS-485 data.

Number of ARCs Supported: The power draw is dependent upon ARC types used, number of each type, and total cable length. At least 8 ARC-2e with 800 feet / 243 meters of cable supported.

Mechanical Data¶

Space Required¶

Half rack unit (WDH: 20.83 cm x 22.86 cm x 4.37 cm / 8.2 in. x 9 in. x 1.72 in.) Depth does not include connector allowance.

Allow at least 3 inches additional clearance for rear panel connections. Additional depth may be required depending upon your specific wiring and connections.

Electrical¶

24 VDC @ 1 Amps (24 Watts) maximum.

No line voltage switching required.

Ventilation¶

Maximum recommended ambient operating temperature is 30 C / 86 F. Ensure that the left and right equipment sides are unobstructed (5.08 cm, 2 in. minimum clearance). The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
