The MASTER SWITCH/CB must be on for the receptacles to receive power. Once in the ON position, the unswitched receptacles
will receive power as will the control and surge suppression circuits.
The controlled receptacles receive power via the control circuits under the following conditions:
A) The AUTO-OFF-ON switch is in the ON position.
B) The AUTO-OFF-ON switch is in the AUTO position with the NORMALLY OPEN/CLOSED control selector switch in the
NORMALLY OPEN position and there is a contact closure on the remote control terminal block.
C) The AUTO-OFF-ON switch is in the AUTO position with the NORMALLY OPEN/CLOSED control selector switch in the
NORMALLY CLOSED position and there is no contact closure on the remote control terminal block.
CONTACT CLOSURE OPERATION
The customer provided contact closure connected to remote control terminal block, can be either momentary or maintained.
The MOMENTARY/MAINTAINED selector switch must be in the proper position. The terminal block control closure is
ignored when the AUTO-OFF-ON switch is in the ON or OFF position.
MOMENTARY OPERATION
A contact closure is required for the control PCB to process the control signal. Each subsequent closure will alternately turn off
and on the power to the controlled rececptacles. NOTE: Power cycling the unit via the MASTER SWITCH will cause the controlled
receptacles to revert to the OFF position.
MAINTAINED OPERATION
With the NORMALLY OPEN/CLOSED switch in the NORMALLY OPEN position, a maintained contact closure will energize the
controlled receptacles via the control circuit. When this maintained contact is removed, the recptacles will become de-energized.
With the NORMALLY OPEN/CLOSED switch in the NORMALLY CLOSED position, a maintained contact closure will de-energize
the controlled receptacles via the control circuit. When this maintained contact is removed, the receptacles will become energized.
CONTROLLED OUTLET TERMINAL BLOCK:
The Controlled Outlet Terminal Block provides status of controlled outlets via a dry contact. The CLOSED position indicates the
controlled receptacles are energized, while the OPEN position indicates that the controlled receptacles are de-energized.
SURGE SUPPRESSION (2 STAGE):
There are two green LED indicators on the front panel indicating the condition of the protection circutry.
There is one LED for each of the two stages. Any protective component failure will be indicated by the LEDs being turned off.
In addition to the LEDs, surge suppression component failure will be indicated by a dry contact closure via the rear terminal block.
