The AMS-TS1 is a touch activated electronic button with integral controller. It operates in one of three modes: Toggle (touch on, touch off), Momentary (active while touched, otherwise inactive), or Pulse (125 mS active pulse upon each touch). By default, the center of the button illuminates green when the output is active, red when the output is inactive.

The button mode and internal/external indicator source are set by the installer. Two open collector outputs are provided. One is pulled to ground when the module output is active. The other is pulled to ground when the module output is inactive. The red and green indicators may be controlled by open collectors (or switches) on external RDL modules or other equipment.

The AMS-TS1 operates from ground-referenced 24 Vdc. The module is designed to mount behind the front panel of industry products that provide D-style cutouts.

AMS

AMS products are AV connectors, user interfaces and indicators that mount behind the front panel of industry products that provide D-style cutouts, including RDL Decora®-style wall plates and rackmounts. XLR connectors are constructed of metal. The front plate and bracket of other AMS accessories are constructed of black satin powder coated steel. A black plastic bezel is provided to finish the D-style cutout hole when the product is mounted. Wiring connections for all audio and control products are made using terminal blocks.

AMS products are ideal for use in a wide variety of A/V systems where professional quality connections, attractive aesthetics and ease of installation are required.
