TVS TV Sensor Overview

The TVS TV Sensor detects whether a CRT (TV or moni-
tor) is powered on by detecting the electromagnetic field 
generated by the CRT's electron gun mounted in the pic-
ture tube yoke. When the sensor detects this field, the 
TVS signal output (yellow wire) goes low. 

The TVS detects horizontal scan frequencies up to 
90 kHz.

Mount the TVS directly to the CRT with supplied Velcro™ 
strips, and connect to the INPUT/OUTPUT connectors 
on AMX devices. TVS features include:

Three-position switch sets the TVS detector 
sensitivity.

Green LED signal indicator lights when a signal is 
detected.

Compatible with any AMX device that accepts inputs 
(AXC-INP8, CPI-16, AXCENT3, etc.).

Installation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when installing the TVS:

When connecting the TVS to an INPUT/OUTPUT port on an AMX 
device, the Yellow (signal) wire is connected to the I/O pin on the 
INPUT/OUTPUT port.

Do not over-torque screws on the connector. Doing so can damage 
the seating pin and damage the connector.

If your application includes multiple CRT's in close proximity, use 
MED or LOW sensitivity settings to minimize potential interference.

Mount the TVS close to the picture tube yoke. In most cases, the pic-
ture tube yoke is located in the rear center of the CRT cabinet. Be 
sure to place the TVS in a position where the green LED signal indi-
cator is visible during installation.

Installing the TVS

To install the TVS:

1.

Connect the TVS to the AMX device's INPUT/OUTPUT connector, fol-
lowing the wiring configuration chart (see 

Wiring the TVS

).

2.

Turn on the CRT.

3.

Set the SENSITIVITY switch on the TVS to MED.

4.

Position the TVS on the CRT cabinet so it is as close to the picture 
tube yoke as possible. The green LED signal indicator must be visible 
during the installation process.

5.

If the green LED signal indicator does not light, move the TVS closer 
to the picture tube yoke, or set the SENSITIVITY switch to HIGH, or 
do both.To accommodate the electromagnetic field produced by large 
CRT's, you may have to move the TVS away from the picture tube 
yoke and/or reduce the sensitivity setting.

6.

When the green LED signal indicator lights, fasten the TVS to the 
CRT cabinet with the supplied Velcro™ strips.

TVS TV Sensor Overview
