INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT
The
Status Input
can also be used for sensing the
power state
of an external
device
to prevent unwanted
power commands
from being issued when not desired. If the sensed device has a
Status Output
(or a
switched or sensed AC outlet with a DC Power Supply or 12V output), when a
Source GTL
is pressed, if the
Status Line
is
Low
(Status = 0V) the
Power ON Command
will
be initiated. If the
Status Line
is
High
(STATUS = 5 to 30V DC), the
Power ON Command
will
not
be output.
This feature will also allow for a
System Power Macro
to be initiated whenever a
Source GTL
is pressed. In
this application, the main system component, A/V Receiver, Multi-room Controller, etc. must have a common
12V DC Control output that indicates System State (ON/OFF). In this case, when a
Source GTL
is pressed, if
the
System Status Line
is
Low
(Status = 0V) the
Power ON Macro
will
be initiated. If the
System Status Line
is
High
(STATUS = 5 to 30V DC), the macro will
not
be output.
