Remote Power Jacks
The
REMOTE POWER
jack and three
MAIN POWER
jacks on the rear panel output 12V jacks can be programmed to,
output either continuous
DC
or a
PULSE
. This feature is used to automatically activate/deactivate other system
components such as power amplifiers, etc, when the Casablanca IV is taken in/out of Standby. From the first
SETUP
/
GLOBAL
page, press button #
2
to access the
REMPWR
submenu shown in figure 48.

The first four 3.5 mm jacks on the rear panel (remote power and main power 1 through 3) are +12V pulse or DC current
limiting* outputs (tip = hot, sleeve = ground) intended to be connected to devices which feature 12V control voltage
inputs.
The first jack labeled “REMOTE”, is controlled by pressing
REMOTE
on the hand held remote or front panel. It will turn
off when the Casablanca IV is put into standby mode.
Use button #
1
to indicate whether the output of the
REMOTE
power jack should be 12VDC (
DC
) or a 12V pulse (
PULSE
).
The specification sheet for the device being triggered should contain information as to which type of signal it requires.
The output signal of the remote power jack does not need to be delayed since its activation is by the user via either the
hand held remote or front panel
REMOTE
button.
Use buttons
2
,
3
and
4
to set the output (
DC
or
PULSE
) for each of the three
MAIN
POWER
jacks on the rear panel.
The
MAIN POWER 1
jack is activated immediately upon exiting the standby mode (pressing the front panel or the hand
held remote
POWER
button), the
MAIN POWER 2
jack is activated
X
seconds after exiting standby and the
MAIN
POWER 3
jack is activated
X
times 2 seconds after exiting standby.
X
represents the time, in seconds, that is set by
pressing button #
5
–
MTIM
, or Main [Delay] Time. This is useful for sequencing the activation of high power components
such as amplifiers. When the Casablanca IV is put into standby, it can be set to turn off the
MAIN POWER
jacks
simultaneously or sequenced in the opposite order they were activated. Sequencing is accomplished by setting
SEQ
(button #
6
) to
ON
. The default is
OFF
, which will turn off all triggers simultaneously when the Casablanca IV is put into
standby.
If the
TYPE
for any rear panel power jack is set to
PULSE
, the duration (in milliseconds) of this pulse can be set by the
user. Select the
A-D
button and use the
LEVEL
UP
/
DOWN
buttons to change the pulse duration.
*The current limiting resistor is 33 ohms, 0. 5W. This means that the more current a triggered device draws, the more
the output voltage will be reduced. The formula is: Output voltage =12 – (I x 33), where I = the current draw from the
triggered device, in Amperes. Refer to the device’s manual for this information. The Casablanca IV’s maximum output
current is 100mA. Using the above formula, with a 100mA draw, the output voltage will be 8.7 volts. Most triggered
circuits have virtually no current draw.
