I've programmed a new client's system for the above RTI products.

They have a dreaded Time/Warner DCT-3416 cable box and though I usually LEAVE IT ON (just to quite those that will tell me to do that...) I thought I'd take advantage of the voltage sensing unit on this job.

I see the "Status Test", "Power Sense" port in ID, but I thought I'd check with you all for tips and suggestions on how to program/set up.

All the best,

I'm not familiar with Time Warner... so take this with a grain of salt.

You may run into two different problems.

Is the switched outlet on the cable box setup to "Switch"? I've seen them setup to stay on, no matter what the menu says.

You're going to have to plug a 12 volt transformer (Wall-wort) into that switched outlet. Most of the wall-worts I've dealt with take several seconds (up to 15) to de energize. This will cause a fault if the customer turns off, then tries to turn on quickly... the power supply will still be hot even though the cable box is off.

An AC instead of DC wall-wart will disapate the power more quickly and help (help, not solve) that problem.

I'd probably just give them a "power" button, though...  I'm always worried that a software/firmware update will default the switched power outlet back to "always on".  Can't say I've ever heard of that actually happening to anyone, but it seems like a possibilty to think about.

Use a niles audio 12volt supply. Never had an issue with it.
