3F. The Audio, Video, and Assignable Relays with Control Voltage
Output
The IntelliControl enables you to control devices that are triggered or operated via 12v DC
control voltages or normally open / normally closed dry contact closures. There are three
relay groups: Audio, Video, and Assignable. More than one device or function can be
triggered (turned on) by the same relay group.
Relay Voltage Limitations
There is a 300mA limit to the combined output of all of the 12V DC control outputs. Add up
the combined draw for all devices triggered by the Audio, Video, and Assignable control
voltage outputs. If the total combination is within the limit, it is acceptable to trigger more
than one device from any one-control output.
Those devices, which draw more current than the IntelliControl can supply, should be
triggered by a wall adapter or power supply of adequate capacity routed through the
contact closures.
Note: The contact closures are rated to a maximum of 30 volts AC or
DC with a maximum current of 1 amp.
Also Note: Never connect 120V AC to the contact closures. Use a Niles AC-6+ triggered
by a 12V DC control voltage for AC Power Switching. The Niles AC-6+ consumes 100mA
of current when triggered.
Audio 12V Output
The Audio 12V Output is automatically activated whenever the Preamp is “On”. This is
configured in the IntelliFile II software, on the “Components” tab for each Master Key, by
selecting “Turn Preamp On” in the “Audio Scene Setting”.
Video 12V Output and Relay
The Video 12V Output and Relay are automatically activated whenever the TV is “On”.
This is configured in the IntelliFile II software, on the “Components” tab for each Master
Key, by selecting “Turn TV On” in the “Audio Scene Setting”. It is not possible to activate
the 12V Output without activating the Relay, and vise-versa.
Assignable 12V Output and Relay
The Assignable 12V Output and Relay are controlled with two dedicated commands,
“Relay On” and “Relay Off” which are found in the IntelliFile II programming software. The
functions of the Assignable Relay can only be activated (or deactivated) as a step in a
sequence. Once again, it is not possible to activate the 12V Output without activating the
Relay, and vise-versa.
