PC1 Power Controller, 10 A (110 VAC only)

PC1 AC Power Control Unit Overview

The PC1 control unit provides reliable AC power management through a single switched outlet designed for 120 VAC operation, supporting equipment loads of up to 1,200 watts. It offers a straightforward solution for controlling power to devices that cannot be easily managed using infrared or other conventional control signal methods.

Common Applications

PC1 is ideal for applications requiring simple and dependable power control of equipment that lacks native control interfaces, making it well suited for AV systems and other installations where direct power switching is necessary.

Key Features

Front-Panel Power Control – Includes an on/off pushbutton with an integrated status LED to clearly indicate when the switched outlet is active.

Configurable Control Modes – A built-in DIP switch allows selection of closure modes to support different control requirements.
