The MT112-106 is a 1-In, 6-Out AC power distribution card. The MT112-105 is a 1-In, 3-Out AC power distribution card.
The MT112-105/106 distributes AC power from a single AC power source to multiple AC outlets. These outlets can be connected to any type of audiovisual equipment. The total current supplied to all outlets should be less than 10 amps. A special sensor will alert the user by flashing the LEDs when the load is greater than 9.5A, and a warning will be sent over the RS-232 bus indicating the total current draw is near maximum. When audiovisual equipment connected to the MT112-105/106 draws 11.5A for more than 3 seconds, the microprocessor will start turning outlets OFF, starting from the highest outlet number first. Additionally, a message will be sent over the RS-232 bus informing the user that outputs are being shutdown.
The MT112-105/106 is able to turn ON/OFF audiovisual equipment in a sequential order, which may be defined using RS-232 protocol commands. The time delay between switching is also programmable in a range between zero and 50 seconds.
The MT112-105/106 has built-in current measuring circuits to detect load levels. The value of these loads may be read through the MultiTasker™ RS-232 port. The measurement is made in amps and can be used to monitor the load level on all outputs.
The threshold level for the ON/OFF detect feature is adjustable to accommodate different loads and determine when AV equipment is ON or OFF. This feature is especially important for VCRs, DVD players, or any other equipment that has only IR control capabilities. Using this feature, the control system can determine if the VCR is ON or OFF.
