3.10TRIGGERS / 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.

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).
