Digital I/O (digital input/output)
Configure each port as as a digital input or output,
with or without +5 VDC pull-up.
Use these ports to:
• Monitor or trigger events and functions (toggle relays,
issue commands, send e-mail), once configured.
• Power LEDs, incandescent lights, or other devices
that accept a TTL signal.
Flex I/O (digital input/output or analog input)
Configure each port as an analog input or as a digital
input or output with or without +5 VDC pull-up.

Reference voltage input (from amplifier) – This allows the IPCP Pro to detect when the amp is present.
Control voltage (variable output to amp from IPCP Pro) – This signal controls the amp volume.
Control voltage output:
0 - 10 VDC

Volume Control
This port can be used to control the volume and mute or
unmute the audio for Extron half rack width audio amplifiers.
• Connect to an Extron audio ampifier to permit volume
control via touchpanel controls, macros, or schedules.
• Do not exceed 10 VDC input voltage.
Configure the maximum and minimum voltage limits. Set
Soft Start mode off or on (default) . Soft Start mode allows
volume to gradually increase from mute to the previous level
after muting or power-on to prevent loud audio bursts

NOTE:
Use shielded cable and
place the control processor
as close as possible to the
amplifier to avoid picking up
background noise via the
cable. Ideal cable length is
six feet or less.
NOTE:
When audio mute is active, the
control processor sets output voltage
to 0 VDC, even if the voltage range
(minimum and maximum voltage
limits) has been set to levels above
zero, such as 2 V to 8 V.
