Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AC relay accessory used for?
An AC relay accessory like the PS-REL detects AC power presence and automatically closes electrical contacts, allowing you to control multiple devices or circuits from a single power source. This is especially useful in home theater setups where you want one receiver outlet to power multiple components.
Is the PS-REL compatible with my Furman power sequencer?
Yes, the PS-REL is designed for use with Furman power sequencers and controllers including the PS-8R, PS-PRO, PowerPort, and MiniPort units. Check your sequencer documentation to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
How does the 120V AC relay work?
The 120V AC relay continuously monitors for the presence of 120VAC power. When AC power is detected, the relay automatically closes its contacts, completing a circuit and powering connected devices. When power is removed, the contacts open, cutting power to downstream equipment.
Can I use the PS-REL to control multiple circuits?
Yes, the PS-REL provides relay contacts on a terminal or barrier strip that can be configured to control multiple circuits and power-hungry devices. This makes it ideal for extending the capacity of a single switched outlet on receivers or other equipment.
