3.10 TRIGGERS / IR / RS-232
When a trigger output on the AVM 50 is connected to the trigger input of another component, such as a
power amplifier or video projector, the AVM 50 can turn the component on or off according to the trigger’s
Setup. For components that do not use triggers, a triggerable power bar may work (see your dealer).
• Trigger1 and Trigger2: Provide standard trigger output of 12 volts with up to 50 mA of current,
suitable for most amplifiers.
• Trigger3: Provides an output of 12 volts with up to 200 mA of current, suitable for most amplifiers
and depending on requirements, usable with motorized projection equipment.
There is a quarter of a second delay between each trigger to minimize momentary line voltage drops caused
by switching on too many devices at the same time.
All Triggers:
When on ‘Disabled’ all triggers remain off. When on ‘Enabled’ the trigger chart below is used to set
conditions. For custom installations, ‘RS-232 Ctrl’ uses external control over all triggers.
Set Trigger:
Highlighting ‘b. SET TRIGGER 1’ and then pressing SELECT displays this menu – in the example shown,
TRIGGER 1 activates whenever MAIN power is turned on:
Under each of the four Paths, notice that there are dashes (‘–’). After highlighting POWER ON or a Source,
press SELECT and use the buttons to move from one Path to another, and then to set the trigger to
activate, use the buttons to change the ‘–’ to a ‘*’ (don’t forget: a. ALL TRIGGERS: ‘Enabled’ in menu 10).
