Using the Controls / Back Panel

Power

The AMP200 can be turned on and off independently via a switch on the front panel, by signal sensing, or remotely by a triggered DC input. There is a switch located on the lower edge of the rear panel of the amplifier to select how you would like to turn on the AMP200. If you would like to control the unit’s power on / power off status manually from the front, place the switch in the “Normal” position. If you would like to control the unit’s power on / power off status by means of signal sensing, place the switch in the “AUTO ON” position. If you would like to control the unit’s power on / power off status by a DC remote trigger, place the switch in the “TRIG- GER” position, and connect the remote triggering wire and ground from your triggering device to the terminal labeled “TRIGGER IN” next to the switch.

You should use a 3.5mm phone plug in the “IN” connector to make this connection. The tip of the connector is (+) positive, and the sleeve of the connector is (-) negative. A second terminal in the same block is labeled “OUT”.This allows for remote turn-on of other devices when the AMP300 is powered on. Use the same polarity for the terminals of this plug. Please read the owner’s manual for any devices you are attempting to connect in this manner to ensure compatibility.

Note: The front panel power switch must be in the “ON” position for the 12V triggers or “Auto ON” features to operate.
