Setting the Turn-On Mode Switch

The SI-245 has three turn-on modes. Select the mode you wish to use by sliding the mode switch. See Installation Considerations on page 6 for more information about each of the turn-on modes.

Slide the switch with your fingernail or a 1/8” slotted screwdriver blade.

Control Output

This terminal provides a 12v DC signal suit- able for triggering Niles automated switchers, some motorized screens, some electric curtain controls, etc. The trigger voltage is present only when the amplifier is active or "on". When the amplifier turns "off", the 12 volt sig- nal is off.
