Remote Connections on the Back Panel
23 RS-232
The RS-232 port receives messages from a computer-based control system,
providing integrated control of all preamplifier functions. The RS-232 input
uses a 9-pin D-subminiature connector. See the Phantom developer's refer-
ence for more information.
24 RC-5 In
The RC-5 remote connector is used with a third party remote control system
that provides RC-5 (IR) data with the carrier intact, via a wired connection. A
stereo tip, ring, sleeve 1/8-inch mini connector is used in the following configu-
ration: Tip = RC-5 data, Ring = +5 V, Sleeve = GND.
26 12 VDC In/Out (12 V Trigger)
The preamplifier has 2 outputs that send, and one input that receives 12 VDC
power on/off (12 V trigger) signals to and from other Krell components and
other devices that incorporate a 12 V trigger. This allows you to turn other
components on or off, or to and from stand-by, through the remote control.
When the Phantom is switched to operational mode and is connected to other
components through the 12 V trigger, it sends a signal that will switch other
components, allowing whole systems or parts of systems to be easily coordi-
nated. For more information on customizing the 12 V trigger, see Input Trigger,
on page 35. Mono 1/8-inch mini connectors are used in the following configura-
tion: Tip = +12 V, Sleeve = GND.
Notes
When the Phantom is in the operational mode, the 12 V trigger provides 12 Volts
of DC output. When the component is in the stand-by mode or off, the DC output is
0 Volts.
A minimum of 30 mA is required to operate the 12 V trigger.
Consult the owner's reference of the components used in a custom installation to take
full advantage of the remote capabilities of the Phantom.
