INTRODUCTION A current sensing trigger enables you to activate voltage controlled devices by simply turning another device on. For example, you can trigger an electric lift by turning your television on. The CS12V provides this capability in a compact, easy to install package. The CS12V is compatible with virtually any electrical device because of its ability to sense the current draw of whatever is plugged into it. FEATURES AND BENEFITS The CS12V offers a number of improvements over other c

PLACEMENT OF THE CS12V Place the CS12V conveniently close to the component it will be connected to. Generally, the CS12V is placed in a concealed location because its indicator lights are only used during installa- tion. Placement possibilities include: 1. Table-top – on the floor or shelf behind the equipment Figure 2. 2. Wall-mount – affixed to the back of the equipment cabinet or a nearby wall Figure 3.

INSTALLATION Before you begin, make sure the AC power and 12VDC power cables will both reach an unswitched AC outlet. If necessary, terminate the wire that will be used for 12VDC triggering with a 3.5mm mono plug, with the tip being positive and the sleeve as ground Figure 4. IMPORTANT Make all final connections to the CS12V before connecting the AC power supply. Figure 4 1. Plug the component’s AC power cable into the current sensing outlet. 2. Plug the 12VDC trigger output cable into the 1

OPERATION SETTING THE OFF STATE OF THE CONNECTED COMPONENT Operating the CS12V is a simple matter of setting the “OFF” state of the connected component. Many components exhibit a small current draw even when they’re turned off. To calibrate the CS12V to properly account for this residual current draw: 1. Make sure the component is plugged into the current sensing outlet of the CS12V and is turned off. 2. Using a small jewelers screwdriver press the recessed “Idle Current Detect” button until
