Extron Electronics PC 101 User Manual
PC 101 Power Controller • Setup Guide
The Extron PC 101 Power Controller provides remote power management for AV devices. When paired with an Extron controller
or control processor with relays, such as the MediaLink MLC 226 IP or the IP Link IPL 250, the PC 101 can be set up to power an
AV device on or off at scheduled times. It has a contact closure control input for remote control of a device and a tally port that
can be used for status feedback. Its power rating of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, provides worldwide compatibility. A front panel test
switch enables manual power cycling for setup and test purposes. This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to
set up and connect a PC 101.
NOTE: For information on safety guidelines, regulatory compliances, EMI/EMF compatibility, accessibility, and related topics,
see the Extron Safety and Regulatory Compliance Guide, part number 68-290-01, at www.extron.com.
ATTENTION: Use electrostatic discharge precautions (be electrically grounded) when making connections. Electrostatic
discharge (ESD) can damage equipment, although you may not feel, see, or hear it.

a Breaker — 10 A rated circuit breaker. When an over
current condition occurs, the PC 101 stops outputting
AC current and ceases to function. Press this button
to manually reset the circuit breaker.
b Input — Power input with a 6-inch IEC cable
attached. Connects AC power to the PC 101.
c Output — Power output with a 24-inch IEC cable
attached. Connects power to an output device.
d Output power LED — This green LED lights when
AC power is supplied to the Output connector. (The
front panel contains an output power LED which
performs the same function. Both LEDs reect the
same status for the Output port.)
Make sure that the device being controlled can
support an AC power cycle.

An LED indicator can be connected to
this port to show when the connected
device is receiving power from the PC 101.
• When the AC output is off, the tally
pin is in the high (oating) state.
• When AC power is present on the
output, tally pin 1 toggles to the low
(grounded) state.
f Contact In port — 2-pole captive screw contact
closure input connector.
When pins 1 and G (ground) of this connector are
shorted together, the AC input passes power to the
output. If an LED is connected to the Tally port (e),
the LED lights when power is passed.

ATTENTION: No greater than 10 A of current should pass through the unit.
Installation Steps
1. (Optional) Mount the PC 101 to a rack shelf or furniture using mounting hardware such as an Extron under-desk mount kit.
2. Connect the male IEC connector on the 6-inch input cable (
cord.
3. Connect the female IEC connector on the 24-inch output cable (
output cable can be plugged directly into the device being controlled. Alternatively, you can use the provided IEC adapter.
4. Connect a push button or control processor to the Contact In port (
power on and off by contact closure. You can optionally monitor the status by connecting an LED from the +V (+5 volts) pin
to pin 1 of the Tally port (e).

to press this recessed button to enable AC power
to pass to the output. Power is off by default when
AC power is rst applied to the PC 101. Subsequent
presses of the button toggle power to the output on
and off.
e Power test LED — This LED is off by default when
AC power is applied to the unit. Thereafter, this LED
toggles on and off with each press of the Test button.
