MRX-1 BASE STATION
Integrating Optional Video or Voltage Sensors
Voltage Power Sensor VS-1006
The VS-1006 Voltage Power Sensor allows voltage output of a sys-
tem component to be used to monitor that component’s ON/OFF
status for power management when the device does not have dis-
crete commands or a composite video output is not available for
video sensing. Some components provide 12V Status outputs while
with other applications, a DC power supply plugged into a compo-
nent’s switched outlet can be used to provide device status.
Connections
Control
Voltage Out/Switched AC Out (VS-1006)
When using a switched AC outlet, an AC or DC power supply
adapter can be used to trigger a VS-1006 Voltage Sensor. Using AC
or unregulated DC adapters is recommended given the instant
ON/OFF characteristics such supplies. Regulated DC adapters are
slower to respond when turned on and off and are therefore not
considered ideal for status sensing. RATING: 3-25V AC or DC.
1. Using a two conductor stranded 24-14 AWG wire, connect the
Control Voltage Out of the sensed device, or stripped ends of a
Power Adapter, to the Two-Pin Plug In Connector on the VS-1006.
Polarity is not critical with the VS-1006, as it can sense AC or DC.
2. If using a Power Adapter, plug it in to the Switched Outlet on the
Sensed Device.
3. Connect the 4-circuit mini plug from the VS-1006 to the appro-
priate Video or Voltage Sensor Input on the MRX-1 Rear Panel.
4. Once the system has been powered up, the VS-1006 Power LED
should illuminate Red.
5. To test Voltage Sensing, turn the Sensed Device on. The Sensor
LED on the MRX-1 front panel should illuminate in blue. Turn
the Sensed Device off and the LED should turn off as well. If not,
check the connections and measure the device control out or
power adapter with a volt meter to confirm voltage output.
Current Sensing
AC Outlet (VS-1006)
1. Connect the Power cord from the sensed device to a sensed AC
outlet on a current sensing AC outlet.
2. Using two-conductor stranded 24-14AWG wire, connect the con-
