Drawing # 3: Internal Adjustments and Fuses

DC Connections

Triggering the SCAMP On from an External DC Source

Connect a wire (22 AWG or thicker) from the ground and a +5 to +12 Vdc output connection of an external
100 mA DC source to the ground and +5 to +12 Vdc IN of the SCAMP.

Triggering Components On with the DC Source from the SCAMP

Connect a wire (22 AWG or thicker) from the ground and +12 Vdc OUT of the SCAMP to the ground and
+12 Vdc input of the external component(s) that you want the SCAMP to trigger on up to 400 mA total.

Connecting Multiple SCAMPs

You can “daisy chain” up to four SCAMPs to build an 8 outlet sequential switcher with a 120 A capability.
Internal jumpers inside the SCAMP allow you to adjust the turn-on delay time from 0 to 8 seconds.
(Refer to drawing #3)

Connect the ground and +12 Vdc OUT connector of the first SCAMP to the +5 to +12 Vdc IN connector of
the second SCAMP and adjust its delay time to 2 seconds.  Next, connect the ground and +12 Vdc OUT
connector of the second SCAMP to the +5 to +12 Vdc IN connector of the third SCAMP and adjust its
delay time to 4 seconds, and so on.

Front Panel Indicators

The SCAMP has three front panel mounted status LEDs.  The amber AC present LED will illuminate
whenever the SCAMP is plugged into a “live” AC outlet.  Two green LEDs labeled Outlet 1 and 2 will
illuminate when their corresponding outlets have been activated.
