ARC-OP – wall-mounted controller consisting of two separate components
AMiT Automation is introducing the new ARC-OP wall-mounted controller, designed to control heating and ventilation in rooms, particularly in applications with fan coil units. At first glance, it catches the eye with its clean design – it is available in an elegant all-glass version with a concealed LED display or in a variant with a classic reflective LCD display. During the development of this product, emphasis was placed not only on functionality but also on the device’s interior appearance
The ARC-OP is also the first project of its kind for AMiT Automation. The final product is not created as a single, individually ordered unit, but by combining two separate components – the front panel and the base board. The combination of these two components creates a fully functional wall-mounted controller.
Neither the front panel nor the base board can operate independently. For this reason (when ordering) it is always necessary to select a specific front panel variant and a specific base board variant. Both components are ordered separately, not as a single unit.
One concept, multiple design options
The front panel is the user interface of the controller. Depending on the selected variant, it offers either an all-glass design with an LED display or a design with a clear LCD display. The controller can measure temperature, relative humidity and, in variants marked ‘C’, also the CO₂ concentration in the room.
The base board provides power supply, communication and mounting within a KU68 installation box. A basic variant is available with an RS485 interface only, or an extended variant with RS485, two digital inputs and two triac outputs. This allows the same concept to be used for both simpler installations and applications where it is necessary to connect, for example, a window contact, a presence sensor or to control other peripheral devices.
Why a separate front panel and base board?
This concept offers greater flexibility in both design and ordering. The designer or customer can choose the controller’s look, the measured variables and, at the same time, the range of inputs and outputs according to the specific application. The result is a wall-mounted controller that can be simple and cost-effective, or expanded with additional functions – always based on the same product platform.
The ARC-OP is available in white or an elegant black colour. This makes it easy to match the character of any interior, from technical rooms and offices to hotel and residential projects.

Ordering as a combination of two components
When ordering the ARC-OP you have to always use:
1. Front panel
ARC-DOP10/xx, ARC-DOP10C/xx, ARC-DOP20/xx or ARC-DOP20C/xx
2. Base board
ARC-BOP/xx or ARC-BOPDI2TRI2/xx
The combination of these two separately ordered parts forms the complete and functional ARC-OP wall-mounted controller. ARC-OP wall-mounted controller.
