THE 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 receptacles.
MAINTAINED OPERATION
With the NORMALLY OPEN/CLOSED switch in the NORMALLY OPEN position, a maintained contact closure will energize the
receptacles. When this maintained contact is removed, the receptacles will become de-energized. With the NORMALLY
OPEN/CLOSED switch in the NORMALLY CLOSED position, a maintained contact closure will de-energize the receptacles.
When this maintained contact is removed, the receptacles will become energized.
CONTROLLED OUTLET TERMINAL BLOCK
The Controlled Outlet Terminal Block provides status of outlets via a dry contact. The CLOSED position indicates the
receptacles are energized, while the OPEN position indicates that the receptacles are de-energized.
