599-00
PULSED SWITCHING MODULE
The 599-00 generates momentary (pulsed) outputs in response to an On/Off switched DC input voltage.
The pulsed outputs, 100 milliseconds in duration, are triggered during the On and Off transitions of the DC
input voltage. The 599-00 was developed primarily to provide momentary inputs for the Model 590-00
Programmable Controller when working with long term DC control voltages. It will work, however, in any
application requiring a pulsed output from a switched DC input.

INSTALLATION
Using the 599-00 to Provide Momentary Inputs for the Model 590 Programmable Controller.
The 590 Controller was designed to be used with momentary contact switches. In such applications, a
button is pressed, the 590 outputs an IR command, and the button is released. If the button is not released,
the 590 will either continue to repeat the same IR command or send no signal at all after the initial burst.
As long as one key is pressed, subsequent actions will be locked out; the other keys (inputs) will not respond.
The 599-00 overcomes this, allowing a system to respond to some change or function in an audio/video
system, triggered by automated actions.
• For example, if an A/V Receiver is turned ON manually, an IR command sequence can be made to turn
a DVD player ON and activate PLAY at the same time.
