Overview

  • Senses status of television, electric motors, or radio transmitters

Essential Info

When you are using computers to control home theater gear you may wish to have more control options. Probes can be used to prevent system-issued IR commands from getting out of step with the controlled components or to trigger actions based on the power status of a component. The TV ProbeLinc is a TV detector probe that senses the presence of the high-frequency RF emissions of a traditional (CRT) TV when it is on. The TV ProbeLinc can also detect operation of an electric motor or even a radio transmitter. Originally designed as an accessory for the now discontinued X10 to IR Linc, PC to IR Linc, and I/O Linc, the ProbeLinc's can also be used with the JDS IR Xpander.

    wont work with GC-100. Not enough compatibility information

    Great Products!!!

    This works great! I actually designed my own solution by sensing the current being drawn by the television when it goes on, but this solution works better than by homemade current sensor. The total solution, though more expensive than I wished it would have been, works quite well.

    The Probe works flawlessly, as we expected it to. The whole process from ordering to receiving was painless. Thanks RD
