Points to Consider
The SX16+ operates on the principal of switching
either a low voltage or ground through multiple
relays for control of solenoid-operated, motor-driven
or solid state equipment.
In many cases, equipment such as VTRs, cassette
and open real tape decks or slide projectors may be
connected directly to the SX16+ relays through a
built-in multi-pin connector.
Sometimes, interface devices such as A.C. power
switchers, light dimmers, solid state or motor driven
volume controls, etc. are needed between the low
voltage relays in the SX16+ and the controlled
equipment.
For the sake of neatness, care should be taken
when laying out a control system so that functions
for individual pieces of equipment fall in sequential
order on the SX1 6+ Relays.
Multiple functions of one piece of equipment can be
divided between SX16+ Controllers. For example,
'Play' and 'Stop' for a VCR could be on SX16+ #1
with 'Fast Forward' and 'Rewind' on #2.
For typical hookup information to commonly used
equipment refer to the sample system diagram on
pages 31-34.

Connecting the SX16+ to Controlled Equipment
Connecting to the SX16+ Back Panel
Solid or stranded wire, 18-24 Gauge, can be used
for wiring to the terminals on the rear of the SX16+.
Strip 1/4' of insulation from the wire, insert stripped
end into the appropriate relay terminal and tighten
the screw to secure the wire.

The heads of the screws also make a convenient
place to test system wiring.
