12-Volt Trigger Event Jacks
Many home theater components
(including amplifiers, retractable screens, and some lighting
equipment) can be controlled by DC trigger signals.
12-Volt Trigger Event jacks
are 1/8” (3.5mm) mini jacks that carry
low current DC trigger signals which can be used to control many
power amplifiers, retractable screens, motorized shades or draperies,
TV sets and video projectors, and even lighting.
Note:
Other Parasound models use 0.1” (2.5mm) mini jacks for their trigger connections; these
are smaller than the 1/8” (3.5mm) mini jacks on the Model 7100. We supply the 7100 with
trigger wires with both size plugs, or with an adapter plug to connect them.
The Main On jack
is live when the 7100 is turned
on and off. It operates with positive polarity (nor-
mally on), zero delay (trigger voltage is immedi-
ate), and infinite duration (remains on until 7100
is turned off); it sends a trigger signal from the
moment the 7100 is turned on until the moment
you turn the 7100 off again.
Program 1
and
Program 2 jacks
can be individually
programmed for different functions.
The 7100 is supplied with two 3 ft. (1 meter) long
trigger-control wires with 2.5-mm sub-mini plugs for
the Trigger Input jacks on Parasound amplifiers and
tuners. A 3.5-mm mini plug adapter is included for
the 7100
Trigger Output jacks
.
Note:
If the triggered device requires a different connection you may need to remove a plug at one
end of the trigger wire; the wire with the strip on its insulation connects to the plug’s inner
tip (positive, +) and the unmarked wire connects to the plug’s outer sleeve (negative -).
Note:
The combined current capacity of the three Trigger Outputs is 200mA. Do not connect
cooling fans or other accessories directly to the Trigger Output jacks. The Trigger Outputs
should connect only to trigger input circuits.
CAUTION:
Insert or remove trigger wire plugs only when the 7100 is switched off or
disconnected from the AC power line. Otherwise, its trigger circuits may be damaged.
