ACT-1 ACT-1UK

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The ACT-1 is a 12 Volt DC triggered 120 or 230 VAC outlet with a re-set­table circuit breaker. The ACT-1 can switch up to 10 Amps to a power strip
or a single component. When activated by a 12 Volt Trigger output (from an
audio distribution system for example) the ACT-1 can be used to turn on the
power to several audio components or other devices.

MOUNTING

The ACT-1 can be mounted to a flat surface using the holes located along
the side flanges. See Figure 1.

CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

Connect the ACT-1 to the component with the 12 Volt triggered ouput
(rated at 100mA or greater) using an 1/8” jack. The tip is positive (+) and the
sleeve is negative (-). Plug the ACT-1 ACpower cord into a standard 120VAC
outlet (230VACon UKmodel) and plug the component or power strip into
the AC outlet on the side of the ACT-1. See Figure 2.

The 12 Volt Trigger Output can be used to loop the 12V trigger to another
device.
