Grounding Screw
The grounding screw 1! provides a convenient system
grounding point where one or more of the components is
not equipped with a three prong AC cord. The entire
system can be grounded by simply connecting a wire
between the chassis of any system component and the
ACE-315 grounding screw 1!. (The remaining compo-
nents will be grounded to the ACE-315 through the
various audio and video coax connections.)
Remote Triggering
The ACE-315 may be remotely activated and deacti-
vated using a low voltage trigger signal available from
most contemporary preamps and receivers. Connect the
trigger out jack of the preamp with the ACE-315’s 12v
trigger in jack 1@.
Sat/DSS and Cable Connection
The coaxial protection circuit accommodates Satellite/
DSS, Cable, and Antenna signals. Connect the incoming
cable to the coax in jack g. Connect the coax out jack f to
the appropriate input jack of a cable box, Sat/DSS
receiver, or TV/Monitor.
NOTE: All outdoor cables must be properly grounded
prior to entering a building. See the Safety
Instructions section for further details.
Phone Line
Connect the phone line from the wall outlet to the
phone in jack e. Connect the phone out jack h to the line
input of a modem, DVD, TiVo, DSS receiver, or pay-per-
view cable box.
Multiple Amplifiers
When connecting more than one amplifier to the
ACE-315, install the first amplifier into one of the “bank
one” j AC outlets. Install the second amplifier into one
of the “bank two” i AC outlets
AC Power Connection
Once the installation and all necessary connections are
made, insure all connected equipment is off, and that the
ACE-315 power button b is in the Off (out) position. Now
plug the AC power cord 1$ into a grounded AC wall outlet.
The unit is ready for operation.
Operation
The unswitched front panel LED d indicates that AC
current is passing through the ACE-315 and into the
components connected to the unswitched AC rear
panel outlets 1). The unswitched LED d is always on
provided the unit is plugged into an active AC source.
Front Panel Control
Press the ACE-315 power button b to activate the unit.
The power LED b and switched LED c will glow red. AC
power is being supplied to all connected components.
Remote 12v Trigger Control
* Note: This section only applies when an external trigger is
connected to the 12v trigger in jack 1@ .
* Note: The unit only responds to an external trigger when the
power button b is pressed in.The power button b can be used
to override the 12v trigger input and turn the ACE-315 off.
Press the ACE-315 power button b to put the unit
into standby mode. The power LED b will glow amber
indicating it is waiting for an external 12v trigger to power
on. Turn on the component supplying the 12v trigger. The
ACE-315 power button LED b and switched LED c will
glow red indicating AC power is being supplied to all
connected components. Turn off the 12v trigger supply
to return the ACE-315 to standby mode.
