  • Page 30: Voltage Sync

    SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION Voltage Sync Voltage Sync is also a reliable method of synchronization if chosen and implemented correctly. The Sync Inputs can detect the control out voltage from a Niles Signal Sensing product interfaced to the source component. Obtaining Voltage Sync Current Sensing Current Sensing synchronizes a component by detecting the changes in the AC power draw that occurs with a component when it turns ON and OFF.
  • Page 31: Light Sensing

    SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION Light Sensing Using a light sensor (LS-1) to synchronize your components is usually your last choice, simply because the other choices are more reliable. The Niles LS-1 Light Sensor can synchronize a component by sensing changes in light. The 12V output of the LS-1 is then connected to the ZR-4630’s Sync Input dedicated for that component, a mini- plug to RCA adapter is required for this connection (see Connections for more information).
