Sequential Turn-On/Turn-Off. CK Power Processing amplifiers come standard with the CC-STL Sequential Turn-On/Turn-Off (STO) Output/Power module installed. If the amplifier front power switch is set to “remote” and a voltage of between +8 to +18 VDC is applied across the “Com” and “+8 to +18V” termi- nals, a closure between the “In” and “Com” terminals will turn the amplifier on. Additional amplifiers are added to the chain by looping from the "Out" terminal of one amplifier into the "In" termina
