Intellitec 5 Rocker Switch Direct Plug-In Adapter 00-00842-012
PMC Rocker Switch Adapters 842 are members of Intellitec’s
Programmable Multiplex Control Family. They work in
combination with the PMC CPU and other standard, semicustom,
or custom I/O modules.
Carling Contura II Series rocker switches plug directly
into the adapter, eliminating the need for a harness, or
separate wiring to each switch. All switch and indicator light
information is directly communicated to and from the PMC
CPU via the two wire PMC communications link. Athird and
fourth wire provides power and ground for the lamps. The
PMC connection is made with an AMP Mate-N-Lok connector
to reduce installation time and errors. The switch indicator
lamps are controlled by the CPU and are treated in the same
fashion as any other output. Each switch provides an input
signal to the system (Channels 1-5) and each indicator lamp
is a programmable output (Channels 6-10).
If more than 5 switches are required, the switch adapters
may be daisy chained and will mount end to end and allow
the switch spacing to be maintained. The switches do not
carry the loads directly; they simply communicate information
to thePMCCPU.
Since the switch indicator lights are programmable outputs,
the indicators will operate based on logic instructions. For
example, if an output is programmed to operate from more
than one switch, the indicator lights for each switch can
be programmed to come on when the output is on. Switch
indicators could be made to flash or light steady depending
upon variable conditions. This might be used if you program
a load management feature and the load manager has shed
the load.
