Symetrix 80-0056 ARC-2e White

Product Overview

The Symetrix 80-0056 ARC-2e is a two-button/encoder Decora-style ARC (Adaptive Remote Control) wall panel in white for US single-gang electrical boxes. It provides local room-level control of Symetrix DSP parameters — typically volume up/down or menu navigation — via RS-485 connection to any compatible Symetrix DSP. With a backlit alphanumeric display and two momentary button functions plus a rotary encoder-style interface, the ARC-2e is a clean, low-profile wall panel suited for conference rooms, meeting spaces, classrooms, and commercial spaces.

Product Description

The ARC-2e includes one 8-character backlit alphanumeric display, one momentary button for menu selection, and two momentary buttons for value increment and decrement. It mounts in a standard US single-gang electrical box. Power and RS-485 control are connected via two RJ45 connectors, with power provided by the connected DSP or an optional ARC-PSe power supply (80-0093). The ARC-2e is compatible with all Symetrix DSPs that support ARC wall panels, including the Jupiter, Zone Mix 761, Prism, EDGE, and Radius NX families. Its functions are configured in Symetrix Composer within the DSP site file. Also available in black (80-0155).

Frequently Asked Questions

How many ARC-2e panels can be connected to one Symetrix DSP?

Multiple ARC wall panels can be daisy-chained on the same RS-485 bus. The number of panels per bus depends on the specific Symetrix DSP model. Consult the DSP’s Composer documentation for per-bus limits.

Does the ARC-2e require the ARC-PSe power supply?

The ARC-2e can be powered by the DSP directly or by an optional ARC-PSe (80-0093) when powering multiple panels on a long RS-485 run.
