R.S.V.P. Remote Switching Voltage Provider 3.4 Daisy-Chaining Multiple R.S.V.P. Units Together You’ll need standard cable with RJ11 connectors to daisy-chain multiple R.S.V.P. units together. (Refer to Section 3.3 for information on the RJ11 connectors.) To slave R.S.V.P. units, connect one end of the cable from one of the “To Amplifier Remote” ports on the R.S.V.P. unit which will be configured as the master unit.* Connect the other end of the cable to the “Slave/Aux In” port on the remote unit.
R.S.V.P. Remote Switching Voltage Provider 3.6 Wiring for Remote Control using Manual Switching The R.S.V.P. can also be configured to accommodate manual switching. In order to do this, you will need two normally-open momentary switches (available at your local electrical supply store).* One switch will provide the signal to turn the unit on, while the other will provide the signal to turn the unit off.
R.S.V.P. Remote Switching Voltage Provider 4 Operation The R.S.V.P. lets you control the power-up/power-down function of your CT-10 series amplifier from across the room—or across the stadium. Units are individually powered, allowing you to daisy-chain any number of R.S.V.P.s for remote control of an unlimited number of amplifiers. Each R.S.V.P. unit controls 21 amplifier remote jacks. That’s enough to control a 6-foot (1.
R.S.V.P. Remote Switching Voltage Provider 5 Technical Information 6 Specifications Since the R.S.V.P. is used with Crown’s CT-10 series of amplifiers, it is important to note the safety features present at turn-on with the CT-10 amplifiers. Line Voltage Requirements: Dual range power supply operates at 100-120/200-240 V, 50/60 Hz. All CT-10 series amplifiers have a four-second turn-on delay. This prevents dangerous turn-on transients.
