No exposed 120vac voltages and no dangerous 120vac wiring
required. Can be installed by non-technical users.
Plugs into standard 120vac 3-prong household outlets, power strips,
and extension cords. Easily inserts between power source and
corded electrical devices.
Eliminates the exposure of hazardous voltages in classrooms, in
laboratories, and on industrial and DIY development workbenches.
No special 120vac wiring when deploying new products and custom
solutions. Eliminate the need for electrician fees or electrical wiring
permits.
S
witches up to 15 amps with a 3-12vdc (3-30ma) control signal.
Connects directly to any microcontroller without the need for a driver
circuit. Ideal for use with battery powered controllers.

Hookup Instructions:
1.
The PowerSwitch Tail II (PST II) requires an actuating signal between
3vdc (3ma) to 12vdc (30ma) to reliably energize the ac circuit. Most
microcontrollers will operate the PST II directly without the need for
an external driver circuit.
Connect the control signal to the terminal block using a small
screwdriver to access the screws from the top of the PST II. If
necessary, turn the screws CCW to open the terminal contacts. Strip
¼-inch of insulation from the signal wires and insert into the terminal
block contacts through the holes on the side of the PST II. Connect
the plus side to terminal 1 (+in) and the negative side to terminal 2 (-
in).Tighten the screws and verify the contacts firmly grip the signal
wires. Any size wire #16 AWG or smaller may be used. (Standard
CAT3/5 #26 AWG twisted pair wire works well.)
Terminal 3 (Ground) is connected internally to the ac side electrical
safety ground (the green conductor) and can be used if needed.
Energize the control signal and verify the LED indicator lights up. If
not reverse the signal leads.
Plug the PST II into the AC power source and plug the load into the
PST II receptacle. The AC circuit is now energized whenever the LED
is on.

NOTE: The plug side of the PST II must be plugged into a source of
power for the internal relay to operate.
