AUTOSWITCH MANUAL, PAGE 2

OPERATION

MANUAL MODE: To manually select between A and B source, set the SIL SEN switch to OFF.
In this mode, a maintained control input will switch from the A to the B source. If there is no control input, the A
source will be selected by default. The green LEDs indicate which audio source is active.

AUTOMATIC MODE: For automatic operation, set the SIL SEN switch to ON. In this mode, the silence sensor will
automatically switch to the B source if the A source fails, loses a channel, or if the audio level drops below the
threshold for the delay time set. The red LED indicates when the sensor has tripped; the green LEDs indicate
which audio source is active. When the A source audio returns, AutoSwitch will switch back to the A source.

The ALARM switch enables the alarm relay. If it is ON, the alarm relay will operate when the silence sensor trips.
The relay can be used to control an external alarm device or other equipment. If the ALARM switch is OFF, the
alarm relay is disabled, although the automatic audio switching function will remain active.
