The feature applies to any SmartSwitch II device paired with a latched channel on a 

receiver. SmartSwitch II devices have this feature natively integrated. This means that if 

power is lost to the SmartSwitch II device, but not lost to the receiver, the SmartSwitch 

II device will still restore the output state of its latching output when power is restored. 

This applies even if the feature is disabled on the multichannel receiver that controls 

it. Refer to Table 13 for the latch state recovery rules for a SmartSwitch II device as it 

recovers from various power loss scenarios.

power is restored to both devices 

simultaneously), the SmartSwitch 

II device is sent a command from 

the receiver to set its output to
