INSTALLATION

The Control Output

Figure 19

As shown in Figure 19, a 3.5 mm female mini- plug output jack on the rear panel of the SI-1260 provides a 12V DC trigger signal. It is suitable for triggering Niles automated switchers, some motorized screens and electric curtain controls and other devices that require a constant 12V DC control voltage for activation.

This voltage is provided only when any of the amplifier channels are active or "ON". When all amplifier channels are "OFF", the 12V signal is "OFF".
