PC 101 Power Controller • Setup Guide

The Extron PC 101 Power Controller provides remote power management for AV devices. When paired with an Extron controller 
or control processor with relays, such as the MediaLink MLC 226 IP or the IP Link IPL 250, the PC 101 can be set up to power an 
AV device on or off at scheduled times. It has a contact closure control input for remote control of a device and a tally port that 
can be used for status feedback. Its power rating of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, provides worldwide compatibility. A front panel test 
switch enables manual power cycling for setup and test purposes. This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to 
set up and connect a PC 101. 

NOTE:

  For information on safety guidelines, regulatory compliances, EMI/EMF compatibility, accessibility, and related topics,

ATTENTION:

 

• 

Use electrostatic discharge precautions (be electrically grounded) when making connections. Electrostatic discharge 
(ESD) can damage equipment, although you may not feel, see, or hear it.

• 

Prenez des précautions contre les décharges électrostatiques (soyez électriquement relié à la terre) lorsque vous 
effectuez des connexions. Les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) peuvent endommager l’équipement, même si vous ne 
pouvez pas le sentir, le voir ou l’entendre.

A

 

Breaker

 — 10 A rated circuit breaker. When an over 

current condition occurs, the PC 101 stops outputting 
AC current and ceases to function. Press this button 
to manually reset the circuit breaker.

B

 

Input

 — Power input

 

with a 6-inch IEC cable 

attached. Connects AC power to the PC 101.

C

 

Output

 — Power output with a 24-inch (60 cm) IEC 

cable attached. Connects power to an output device.

D

 

Output power LED

 — This green LED lights when 

AC power is supplied to the Output connector. (The 
front panel contains an output power LED which 
performs the same function. Both LEDs reflect the 
same status for the Output port.) 
Make sure that the device being controlled can 
support an AC power cycle.

E

 

Tally port

 — 2-pole captive screw port  

that toggles between high and low states.  
An LED indicator can be connected to  
this port to show when the connected  
device is receiving power from the PC 101.

• 

When the AC output is off, the tally  
pin is in the high (floating) state.

• 

When AC power is present on the  
output, tally pin 1 toggles to the low  
(grounded) state.

F

 

Contact In port

 — 2-pole captive screw contact 

closure input connector. 
When pins 1 and G (ground) of this connector are 
shorted together, the AC input passes power to the 
output. If an LED is connected to the Tally port (

E

), 

the LED lights when power is passed.

ATTENTION:

 

• 

No greater than 10 A of current should pass through the unit.

• 

Pas plus de 10 A de courant ne devrait passer au travers de l’unité.
