TURN-ON mOdES
The Niles System Integration Amplier
®
draws more current than a preamplier’s
switched AC outlet can safely supply. Also, your preamplier may “thump” at
dangerous volumes if the amplier is already on when the preamp turns on. It is
usually best to turn the amplier on only when it is needed. The Turn-On Mode
selector switch gives you three options for turning the amplier on and off. Audio
sense is the factory default setting.
CONSTANT - The auto turn-on circuitry is off. The front panel master power
switch operates the amplier. In is “On”, out is “Off”.
AUDIO SENSE - The master switch on the front panel must be in the “On”
position. The amplier is off when there is no audio signal present at either the
left or the right input, but the sensing circuitry is on. The turn-on sensing circuitry
looks for a tiny amount of audio signal present at any of the audio inputs. If it
detects a signal, the amplier is turned on. Once the audio signal stops, the
sensing circuit waits two minutes, then turns the amplier off.
3-24 VOLT AC/DC OPTO-ISOLATED VOLTAGE TRIGGER - The Power switch
on the front panel must be in the “On” position for the voltage trigger to function.
When a Trigger Plug is inserted into the rear panel connector and the sensing
circuitry detects a voltage, the amplier is turned on. Once the Trigger voltage is
turned off, the sensing circuit instantly turns the amplier off. The amplier is off
when there is no 3-24V AC or DC voltage detected at the trigger input. Voltage
triggers can be supplied by Niles automated switchers, some video projectors,
some surround sound processors, or something as simple as a 12 volt AC wall
adapter plugged into the switched outlet of your stereo receiver. Linear DC wall
adapters are not recommended; the long discharge time of the DC adapter’s lter
capacitor will delay the turn-off of the amplier. Trigger sources must be 3-24VAC
or DC, 20mA or greater.
