Important Notes on ARC Encoding:
The ARC 128-bit encoding provides enhanced security. If you are replacing an older remote or adding a new one to an existing installation, ensure your receiver is compatible with ARC encoding. Some older installations may require a specific procedure or a compatible receiver to utilize ARC remotes.
For detailed information on ARC compatibility and programming, refer to the official BENINCA documentation or website. The image below provides some general guidance on ARC devices and frequently asked questions.
