52 Krell Link In

The KPS25sc is equipped with a Krell Link communicationsoutput and input data port. Krell Link allows synchronized remote power on andoff of other componentswith Krell Link, such as Full Power Balanced amplifiers or MasterReferenceAmplifiers.

53 RC-5

The KPS25sc is equipped with an RC-5input that makescustominstallation easyand secure by accepting basebandRC-5 input commands from hardwiredremotecontrollers.

54 12 VDCOut

The KPS25sc is equippedwith an output that sends12 VDCpoweron/off (12 V trigger) sig- nals to other Krel components and other devices that incorporate a 12 V trigger. This allows you to turn other componentson or off, or to and from stand-by, from the KPS25sc. Whenthe KPS25sc is switched between the stand-by and operational modes,it sends a signal from the 12 VDCOut that will switch other components,allowing whole or parts of systemsto be easily coordinated.

Notes

The 12 VDCoutput poweris limited to 30 ma.
