A remote power switch allows the user to control the eXRCPU power state without using the power push button. This is useful in situations where the unit is not easily accessible to the test operator.
The remote power switch acts as a three-way household switch in conjunction with the power push button.
Connect the 1-EXR-PWR-PT-2 red and black wires of the remote switch cable to two contacts of a single pole, single throw contact switch with sufficient current rating (at least 10 A recommended). If the 1-EXR-PWR-IO-PT-2 cable is used, connect the red and red/white wires of the remote switch cable to two contacts of a single pole, single throw contact switch with sufficient current rating (at least 10 A recommended).
NOTE
If a switch is not connected to the red and black wires of the remote switch cable, make sure the wires are fully insulated from each other or solidly connected to each other to prevent accidentally turning the power off. If the wires are connected to each other and there is any chance of magnetic induction, do not coil the cable in a loop.
