2. Niles LS-1 Light Sensor
The Niles LS-1 Light Sensor was designed to detect a change in brightness on a
component’s front panel display. When it senses a change in brightness, the LS-1 outputs
a constant 12V DC 500mA control voltage. A blocking cover is provided to prevent
ambient light from falsely triggering the LS-1.
Note: You may choose to sync direct-view or rear-projection televisions with the LS-1 Light
Sensor. In this sync application, the LS-1’s sensor is attached to the rear of the TV using
the blocking cover (or better yet – to the flyback transformer inside the TV. The flyback
transformer resembles a automobile alternator and is located near the TV’s main power
supply and AC power cord connection). The LS-1’s sensitivity is adjusted to output a 12v
DC sync signal only when the TV is on.
Additionally, when syncing multi-disc CD changers or other digital components, it may be
possible to install the LS-1’s sensor inside the component’s optical digital output jack to
detect the presence of light coming from that port when the unit is powered on. The unit
must not emit any light from this port when the unit is in standby!
3. Niles OTI-512 Voltage Sensor
The Niles OTI-512 Voltage Sensor senses any control voltage between 3 and 30 volts AC
or DC, and outputs a 12V DC 500mA control voltage. The 12V DC output is connected to
the IntelliControl’s sync input dedicated to that component.
An accessory cable (the Niles FOS-512) will connect a Fosgate, Lexicon, Citation, or
Synthesis preamp to the OTI-512.
4. Niles APC-2 Current Sensing Switcher
The Niles APC-2 Current Sensing Switcher senses any change in power consumption
that is greater than 30 watts. When it senses that the power consumption has increased
(by the component turning on), it outputs a 12V DC 300 mA control voltage. In an
IntelliControl system, the component’s AC power plug is plugged into the unswitched
“Sensing” socket on the APC-2. The 12V DC output is connected to the IntelliControl’s
sync input dedicated to that component.
The APC-2 has several other features. For more info, please look up the APC-2 on our

5. Niles IPC-6 Current Sensing AC Power Controller
The Niles IPC-6 Current Sensing Switch senses any change in a component’s power
consumption that is greater than 3 watts. When it senses that the power consumption has
increased, it outputs a 12V DC 300mA control voltage. In an IntelliControl system, the
component’s AC power plug is connected to the unswitched “Trigger” socket on the IPC-6.
The 12V DC output is connected to the IntelliControl’s sync input dedicated to that
component.
The IPC-6 is not a surge suppression device, but it does have several other useful
features. For more info, please look up the IPC-6 on our website:
