Using the VIDEO IN jack
• It assumes that the Video Sync output of the TV monitor turns on and off with the TV's power command.
Delay action is normally not needed in a simple system like this, but can be used if deemed necessary.
• The VIDEO OUT jack can be used to feed video to another TV monitor and/or to a VCR, etc. as shown.
• Many other AC switching configurations are possible using Video sensing.
Using the IR INPUT
Fig. 7 illustrates how the AC2 can be controlled from within an IR controlled system.
• In this example, IR signals to control the AC2, as well as the rest of the system, come from several IR
sources, as shown.
• RC68+ commands, needed to control the AC2, are "taught", where applicable, to the Smart Pad
3
, the 590
controller and a learning remote, such as the Xantech URC types.
• In this case, a 789-44 Connecting Block is used to divide the IR signal evenly between the emitters and
the IR INPUT of the AC2.
Remember, all IR signal sources connect to the INPUT (signal) side of the connecting block and all output
devices connect to the OUTPUT (emitter) side.
• Since the 590 controller is powered separately, only a 2-conductor cable is required to connect Signal (O)
and Gnd (G) to the input side of the 789-44 Connecting Block, as shown.
• Other IR signal sources, such as the Zone and Common IR outputs of the Xantech ZPR68, may be
connected in the same manner to drive the IR INPUT of the AC2.
NOTE: The power cord of the AC2 should normally be plugged into an un-switched AC outlet. However,
if the power to the AC2 is turned off by a power failure, or other cause, the internal memory will
retain the last IR selected switched condition for the outlet.
