Input Contact and Volume Selection
The input is used to select the volume o the device according to previously
de ined settings. A triggering device can be connected to this input (e.g.: push-
button, presence sensor, relay, PLC, SensoPad, IRPad, etc.). The device must
behave like open or closed contacts between an input and the ground o the
device. By de ault, the main volume setting (Volume 1) is applied. When the
input contact is closed or the command to activate the volume change is received
on the serial link (see the section RS-232 Serial Link), the secondary volume
setting (Volume 2) is applied (see the Volume 2 triggering diagram below).
