Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters FAQ

What is the purpose of the Automatic Receiver Detect function?

It monitors the channel's signal detector; if idle for longer than 7.3ms, it moves the channel to Unplug Mode or returns to Low Power Slumber Mode due to inactivity.

How does the device handle low-level input signals?

It provides an input signal level detect and output squelch function where the channel's input signal level determines whether the output remains active.
