Extron electronic IPL T PCS4i manual Setting the Full power threshold

Page 16

There are two common types of power for electronic devices: soft and hard.

•Soft power devices normally have three power states: On, Standby, and Off. Such devices include projectors, DVD players, and VCRs.

Example: On soft power devices, the Standby mode allows the unit to be powered to its Full power mode via RS-232 commands or a remote. Pressing a PCS4 receptacle button to Off when the receptacle is connected to a device that supports Standby power causes the device to power off.

•Hard power devices normally have two power states: On and Off. These devices include Extron switchers and interfaces.

Example: On Extron switchers, there is no power button or Standby condition, and the unit power can be set only to On and Off from the PCS4 front panel. Therefore, when the power is on, it is at Full power, and can be set for Full reference threshold.

The Full and Standby reference thresholds must be configured with the device attached to the PCS4 receptacle. The thresholds must be set in the correct order, with Full being set first. Follow these steps to set the threshold for each device, using the front panel. (These thresholds also can be configured using the web pages or SIS commands.)

NOTE: The Full threshold must be set first. If Standby is set first, the Standby reference setting is removed by the setting of the Full reference threshold.

1.Connect a device to a power output receptacle on the IPL T PCS4. Make a note of the receptacle number to which you connected it (1 through 4).

2.Press the corresponding front panel button to activate the receptacle. Check to ensure that the Power LED for the receptacle is lit.
