CONNECTIONS & SETUP
Control Out
The M8 features a 12VDC Control Out that can be used to sync
an external device with a 12VDC Control IN to M8 power ON/OFF
status. When the M8 turns ON (Manual, Audio Sense or Trigger)
the Control Out will output 12VDC. When the M8 turns OFF
(Manual, Audio Sense or Trigger) the Control Out will output
0VDC.
1. Using a 3.5mm mini cable, connect the M8 Control Out to
the Control IN on the device that is to synced to M8 power
status as shown in Diagram 17. POLARITY: TIP=+12VDC;
SLEEVE=GND.
2. Terminate the 3.5mm mini cable as appropriate for the
Control IN connection on the device being synced. Maintain
proper polarity.
CAUTION! Improper connection can cause damage to the
M8, the synced device or both. The Procient Warranty does
not cover this type of damage.
3. To test, with the M8 and synced devices connected to 110V
AC outlets, and with the Control IN/OUTs properly con-
nected, turn the M8 ON. The synced device should turn ON.
If not, conrm Control IN/OUT connections and polarit y. Use
a volt meter to conrm Control Out voltage at the M8 and
synced device. Turn the M8 OFF, the synced device should
turn OFF. (Some devices have an adjustable delay for Control
IN. Set as needed for the given device/application.)
AC Power Cord
1. After all connections have been made and conrmed, con-
nect the female IEC plug into the AC Input on the M8 Rear
Panel and then plug the AC power cord into an unswitched
110V AC outlet. Diagram 18
