Can I use GDS commissioning hardware with ETC ArcSystem fixtures?
To commission an ArcMesh system, you will need two pieces of hardware:
- An ArcMesh TX1 transmitter. This is required at commissioning, and must remain on site as a transmitter if fixtures are being used wirelessly
- An ArcMesh USB Commissioning Tool. This is required at commissioning, and to make changes later, but not during normal operation
If ordered as part of a new system, you will receive ETC-branded versions of the above devices.
If you already have GDS-branded versions of these devices, they can also be used to commission ETC-branded fixtures.
However, the "USB TX1 Commissioning Gateway", an all-in-one device formerly produced by GDS, is not supported and will not work with ETC ArcMesh fixtures.
