Crestron ST-PC Dual AC Power Control Module
Dual AC Power Control Module:
ST-PC
Introduction
Features and Functions
There are two Crestron® Dual AC Power Control Module configurations available:
ST-PC and STI-PC. Configuration is based on the type of power availability. Use the
ST-PC with a 120V power supply and the STI-PC with a 220V power supply. For
purposes of this Operations Guide, the term ST-PC is used for either configuration,
except where noted.
The ST-PC is a dual power controller that switches AC power on and off at two
independent AC sockets mounted on the unit. Each socket is tied to a relay that is
able to support a combined load (sockets A and B) of 10 Amp, maximum (6 Amp,
maximum, for the STI-PC). There are several unique features of the ST-PC.
• Two momentary pushbutton switches on the front panel of the unit can be
programmed to toggle the relays via the control system.
• The pushbutton switches locally toggle a relay when the control system is
inactive.
• During network activity, the relays assume the state dictated by the control
system.
Functional Summary
• Two momemtary pushbuttons to toggle the relays
• Two network connectors for daisy-chaining units
• Rack mountable with optional ST-RMK (1 space height)
The ST-PC is used as part of a Cresnet® control system. Use of the supplied power
pack is optional.
NOTE: When connected to both the Cresnet power and the external power supply,
the Cresnet power is disconnected.

Dual AC Power Control Module Crestron ST-PC
AC power is supplied via a 3-wire line cord (no plug on the STI-PC configuration).
This power is solely for the purpose of powering the loads attached to the POWER
A and B ports.

Physical Description
The ST-PC, shown in the following illustrations, is housed in a black enclosure with
labels on the front and rear panels. There are four LEDs on the front panel that
indicate the unit’s current status. There are also two momentary pushbutton switches
that are used to toggle the relay states. The two switches are located to the right of
the POWER A/B LEDs on the front panel. All connections are made on the back of
the unit. The proper domestic and international power cords and plugs are used on
the ST-PC and STI-PC, respectively. Refer to the physical views shown below.
There are four rubber feet on the base of the unit for stability and to prevent
slippage.
