Introduction

The AS-2500-3 allows a method of remotely controlling up to two different devices via the telephone lines. Both channel 1 and 2 may be turned "ON" or "OFF" as desired. The channel status is stored in a State-Of-The-Art EEPROM which means that the AS-2500-3 will retain the proper state of the channels even after long power outages. The EEPROM is capable of retaining information for up to 100 years without power. The unit features a 4 digit security access code that prevents non­authorized persons from controlling the unit. This code can be changed or verified by the user.

Control outputs

Channel 1-an unfused, 110VAC, 3 prong
!
power outlet, rated at 10 amps. This
outlet can be used to directly control AC
powered devices, including computers.
Channel 2-an isolated (up to 1000VAC)
!
relay contact closure, can pass AC/DC
voltages (110VAC max.), 1/8" mini
phone jack output, rated at 2 amps. This
output is located on the back of the unit
and is labeled RESET SWITCH.
3) Connect the other end of the supplied modular cable to any standard telephone company line (RJ-11).
4) Connect the power cord to power.

Access code
The AS-2500-3 allows you to program your
own four digit access code; do the following:
1) Place the PROGRAM SWITCH, on the back of the unit, to the PROGRAM position.
2) Call the telephone line, connected to the unit, from any touch tone capable telephone.
3) When the unit answers, you will hear a confirmation tone.
4) After the confirmation tone is finished, dial a touch tone *; you will then hear a pulsating acknowledgment tone.
5) Enter your new four digit access code (the * and # cannot be used in your access code); you will then hear a pulsating acknowledgment tone.
You can now verify your access code by going to Step 4 of VERIFYING YOUR ACCESS CODE, or you can hang up and place the PROGRAM SWITCH, on the back of the unit, to the NORMAL position.
