D1 Driver working with ArcMesh or not?

Question

We purchased about 45 D1 Drivers and the recessed Arc1 fixtures. The plan was to use WIFI Arc Mesh to control them and wired DMX for the other fixtures. However there is not an antennae on the D1. Are there two types of D1? Wired and Wifi? How can you tell the difference? 
 
 Thanks

Paul, 
 Based on your need for Emergency Lighting you should be discussing this with an ETC dealer and an Electrical Engineer. You can also reach out to the NYC ETC office and Pete Wiegand. To learn more I would suggest checking out the ETC Emergency Lighting Guide https://www.etcconnect.com/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=10737501667 In regards to your -E version questions. There are 2 ways to do Emergency with Arcsytem for the -E model. This driver is UL924 listed. 
 1. Our preferred way of doing emergency with ArcSysytem is using the -E version (UL924 rated) require 2 circuits into it, a Normal and Normal/Emergency circuit. The Normal Circuit is actually used as a sense feed to determine when power is lost, and the 2nd circuit is what actually is powering the fixture all the time. It has an internal override to push the fixture to full regardless of the DMX or Wireless signal when the normal/sense feed goes away. 
 2. The more traditional way is to use a DEBC (DMX Emergency ByPass Controller) and EBDK (sense feed) which is how you would properly make sure the DMX signal is pushed to full on a UL 924 driver. The standard driver (Non -E) does not carry a UL924 listing. Those examples are drawn out below.
