Control Connections
The Power5 has both 12 volt trigger connections and the
NHT Bus connection. A 12 volt trigger cable is supplied
with the Power5.
12 Volt Trigger can be used to remotely turn the Power5
on or off (in and out of standby mode) when it detects a
DC control signal from another component in your sys-
tem. The external trigger will accept 5 - 24 volt (DC) sig-
nals. For more information regarding external triggers,
consult your authorized dealer.
The NHT bus connection is an intelligent connection uti-
lizing ethernet infrastructure, using a typical CAT5 con-
nector. When connected to the NHT Controller it controls
on/standby/mute, just like the 12 volt trigger. NOTE:
when using the NHT Bus, do not use the 12 volt trigger.
The Controller can also turn on and off channels when
you are listening to five channel surround or just 2 chan-
nel stereo. This optimizes the Power5’s power supply
and reduces heat. The NHT Controller can monitor
amplifier status as well. The NHT Bus is an open arche-
tecture design so more fuctions can be added in the
future.
