REMOTE SWITCHING
The rear panel REMOTE connection block allows for external control of the power on and off se-
quence. If there are no connections to this block then the
PS8-II functions normally with all sequenc-
ing initiated by the front panel power switch. Connecting the REMOTE and GROUND terminals
together at this block initiates a power off sequence and all rear outlets are held in the OFF position.
Once this connection is removed the
PS8-II will sequence the rear outlets back on as long as the
front panel power switch on. This allows you to run a simple 2-wire low voltage (+5Volt) connection to
a remote switch or relay to remotely control the system. Useful for fixed install, conferencing, multi-
media systems, recording studio/control rooms, and central control of equipment on stage in a live
venue. A status indicator terminal, with internal 1K-Ohm resistor connected to +5Volts, allows for
direct powering of a remote indicator LED (if required). A +5 Volt terminal is also provided to power an
external relay or other control circuitry (if required). The following diagrams give just 2 examples of
how you would connect.
