12VDC Trigger In/Out

12VDC Page Trigger In

When 12VDC is applied to the Page Trigger In, the system will page audio that is connected to the Page Audio Input and interrupt the video out- puts with the page video signal. The Page Trigger In is located in the Page connection area of the CAV6.6 Controller. The connections for the trig- ger are made using a two-conductor cable with 1/8” male mini-plug jacks. The tip is positive (+) and sleeve is negative (-). This allows for the con- nection of an external paging or muting device such as the Russound DIM-1 Doorbell Interface Module. The CAV6.6 can be programmed to mute audio and video for one or all zones as pre- ferred when the 12VDC is applied.

12VDC Page Trigger Out

Page Trigger Out 12VDC output is available under several programmable situations, such as for triggering an external amplifier, muting device or other paging component dependent on the Page Trigger In 12VDC. The connections

for the output are made using a two-conductor cable with 1/8” male mini-plug jacks at each end. The tip is positive (+) and sleeve is nega- tive (-). The default setting for the Page Trigger Out provides 12VDC whenever 12VDC is applied to the Page Trigger In.

In some cases noise or interference may be generated by external devices that are connected to the 12 volt trigger outputs of the CAV. It may be necessary to use a ferrite bead to reduce this interference. Two to three turns of the con- necting cable through the bead may be needed.

Page Audio/Video In

The Page Audio/Video Inputs accept line level audio/video signals. The paging inputs interface with the page output of a telephone, camera, or other peripheral device. Connect the audio/video signals using quality RCA cables.
