User manual NILES IPC-6

[. . . ] Conversely, when the "triggering" component is turned off, the IPC-6 initiates a separate user pre-programmed power off sequence. You may also choose to trigger one or both of the sequences by using the unit's 12 volt DC smart-sensing trigger inputs. Components connected to the IPC-6's switched AC power outlets must be of the "latching" type, that is, they must stay in the "on" state when you remove AC power (unplug it) so that they are "on" when you reapply power (plug it in again). Additionally, the IPC-6 is able to control 2 devices or components which need a 12 volt DC signal to turn on (e. g. , video projectors and electric screens). [. . . ] Insert each wire into the appropriate hole in the connector block and tighten the terminal with an 1/8" slotted screwdriver. Be certain that the positive terminal on the IPC-6 is connected to the positive terminal of a 12 volt device (see Figure 1). While carefully observing each label, plug each low voltage connector, switched outlet plug, and triggering component into its respective place (see Figure 2 on page 11). IPC-6 Total Power Capacity Check that the total power consumption of all the devices plugged into the IPC-6 does not exceed 1500 watts. If the total power is greater than 1500 watts, you will need to trigger a Niles AC-3 voltage controlled power strip from one of the IPC-6's 12 volt control outputs. Since the maximum power output of most home outlets is 1500 watts, you'll need to plug the AC-3 into a wall outlet that is on a different circuit breaker than the IPC-6. IPC-6 Low Voltage Contacts (C1 & C2 Controlled Outputs) The IPC-6 has both normally-open and normally-closed contacts to control devices that need a switch to control them. 12 Volt Trigger Inputs Do not exceed 1500 watts of total power consumption for the devices plugged into each IPC-6. IMPORTANT Do not connect 120 volt AC power to the C1 and C2 terminals, they are low voltage only! IMPORTANT The IPC-6's external trigger inputs accept 3-30 volts AC or DC. Switched 120 Volt AC Outlets Test each component to determine whether it has the "latching" type of power control. If the component returns to its fully "on" state rather than to a "standby" state it is suitable for use Do not connect any signal higher than 30 volts to the trigger inputs!

PROGRAM LED Indicates the IPC-6 is in one of the program modes. The SELECT button steps you through programming each outlet's amount of delay--first for turning on (the on light is lit), then for turning off (the off light is lit).

Plug the IPC-6's AC power plug into an unswitched AC power outlet. All the lights on the front panel will light for 2 seconds while the IPC-6's microprocessor checks all conditions. You are now ready to program your IPC-6. Pre-amp Surround Sound Processor Programming You must program your IPC-6 in two steps. The IPC-6's AccusenseTM circuitry needs to measure the "on" and the "standby" states of the device you have connected to the sensing 120 volt AC outlet(s). The IPC-6 also needs you to specify which outlets to activate along with their corresponding time delays. [. . . ] Perhaps "A" and "B" have been reversed or are actually plugged into another outlet. Press the PROGRAM button to turn off the display of E1, then begin again at step one. Make sure you are "on" and "off" when the directions say you should be. Cancel Programming At any time, you may stop programming by simply pressing and holding the PROGRAM button for one second. 16 I NTELLIGENT P OWER C ONTROLLER I NTELLIGENT P OWER C ONTROLLER IPC-6 PROGRAMMING WORKSHEET Sense A Outlet Controlled Outlet AC Power #1 AC Power #2 AC Power #3 AC Power #4 AC Power #5 AC Power #6 12 Volt Output Sense B Outlet Device you are controlling Trigger Trigger A B ON Delay OFF Delay Troubleshooting 1.
