The RB-LC3 is a triple output switching unit for controlling external mains indicators, primarily studio status lights for broadcasting applications, such as On-Air, Mic-Live and Rehearsal/Live lights. Each output can be individually controlled by one of three remote inputs (pulled high, or low), by a telephony input (when ringing, or off-hook, or both), or a combination of two inputs (to control two outputs, e.g. for Rehearsal/Live situations). The type of control is set using the 12 way DIP switch (4 switches for each output, allowing 16 different settings). All connections are on the rear panel. The three IEC outputs are controlled by zero-cross point drivers. When an output is activated, the A.C. voltage level at that output will be equal to the mains input voltage used to power the unit.
