Control Devices

FContact In and Tally Out — Six 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive scrw connectors for automatic input switching and tally indication using Extron Show Me cables.

When a connected contact is grounded, the corresponding input is selected. At the same time, the tally output closes causing the Show Me LED on the connected cable to light (see Contact Closure and Tally Output Application Diagrams on page 7).

NOTE: For Show Me cables, the ground pin connection is optional.

The six contacts are mutually exclusive so that only one input is selected at at time.

NOTE: Do not tin the leads. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.

G+V Port 3-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector. The three pins constantly output +5 VDC, 200 mA total (shared between pins) to provide power for external tally LEDs.

NOTE: Do not connect “Show Me” cables to the +V power connections.
