SCREW TERMINALS Opto-Isolator Inputs - 16 pairs of positive and negative terminals, isolated from ground. O - Infrared Output - Positive terminal for the IR output signal. G - Ground - Negative terminal for the IR output signal. The "O" and "G" terminals drive IR emitters directly or the IR input of Xantech connecting blocks, IR routers, interface modules, etc. 12VDC - 12 volts output, positive & negative terminals. INPUTS A decision as to the type of external input(s) must be +12V DC made.

• By plugging the Model 781C-00 power supply into the switched AC outlet on the back of a stereo receiver, a constant 12V DC is applied to the 599. The 599 generates a short pulse (+12V, 100 mSec) at its ON terminal when it first sees +5 to +30V DC at its IN+ and IN– terminals (the stereo receiver is turned on). • Similarly, it will generate a short pulse at its OFF terminal (+12V, 100 mSec) when the +5 to +30 volts drops to 0 volts (the stereo receiver is turned off). • This short pulse opera
