SIMPLE REMOTE CONNECTIONS
Scenes 1 - 8 (stored in the AB-0602A) may be used
by simple remotes. A BLACKOUT function may
also be accessed. A simple remote is any switch that
can provide a momentary contact closure which can
be applied to a specific pin on the AB-0602A simple
remote controls connector.
See the
CONTROL SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
diagram for specific connection details. The three
COM
(commons) pins are electrically tied together.
A SIMPLE REMOTE COMMON is routed to the
remote switch. When the switch is operated the
closure brings the common back to the applicable
pin
(SW1 - SW8)
on the simple remote controls
connector in the AB-0602A. Contact SW9 is the
BLACKOUT. Almost any available low voltage
wire may be used since these connections are just
contact closures.
Multiple simple remotes may be used. Additionally
multiple AB-0602A units may be chained to one or
more simple remotes.
An example remote of switch operation using a
Lightronics APP01 switch is shown below. It can
activate scene 1 and invoke a blackout.
