Using The Remote Trigger Feature - Niles iPower AC-6 Installation & Operating Manual

USING THE REMOTE TRIGGER FEATURE

Trigger Activation
Your AC-6+ has (2) Trigger Inputs and (1) Bus Trigger Output which provides a wide array of possi-
bilities for automated turn-on and shut-off of the Triggered outlets. Each Trigger Input can be acti-
vated with 12V DC 200mA input via standard 3.5mm mini plug jacks found on the AC-6+. This
dual-trigger input configuration allows for two zone control of the system, while the single bus out-
put allows the AC-6+ to be "daisy chained" to other iPOWER
protected, triggerable device. In addition, the Trigger Output can be utilized to generate a "power
status" signal for use with compatible Niles infrared or audio/video distribution products.
IMPORTANT NOTE
All components in a system must be connected to an iPOWER
the system to be protected from electrical disturbances and to realize maximum noise filtration benefits.
This includes AC power cables, coaxial connections, and telephone cables used with pay-per-view
systems. Failure to do this will degrade system performance and leave it vulnerable to electrical damage.
Using The Trigger Inputs
NOTE:The Triggered outlets can only be triggered by the Trigger Inputs if the Power button is initiated.
Your AC-6+ has (2) Trigger Inputs which can be used for remote turn ON and turn OFF of the
Triggered outlets. The Trigger can be activated with any 12V DC trigger voltage. Many control ampli-
fiers, preamps/receivers and system integration centers have a voltage output which can be used to
activate the AC-6+'s Trigger feature. If your system includes a control device with provisions for
remote triggering, simply connect the voltage output from the control device to the Trigger Input on
your AC-6+. If the control device has a switched outlet, plug the 12V DC 200mA Remote Trigger
Power Supply (included) into the control's device switched outlet and the 3.5mm mini plug into one
of the AC-6+'s Trigger Inputs (see illustration, next page). Now, every time the control device's
