12 Volt Trigger Ins And Outs - AudioControl The Director D2800 Installation Manual

12 Volt Trigger Ins and Outs

The Director D2800 has five ways you can
bring the unit from standby to turn on and
be ready to serve. In addition, you can use
the triggers from The Director to turn on
more Directors or other components as
well. All this flexibility can be a little daunt-
ing, so the table below should make it a
tad clearer:
Method How Triggered
1 Ethernet
2 12 volt mini plug input*
3 Jumped Phoenix

4 Contact closure on

5 12 volt input on Phoenix

* +12 volts on tip, mono jack
The following details apply if you do not
want to use the Ethernet web server to
turn on The Director D2800.
3-pin connector – To remotely turn on the
unit, use either a contact closure between
the Trigger Input and the +12V output,
or an external +12V trigger between the
Trigger In and GND terminals. The +12V
output is not designed to power other
pieces of equipment or jump start your car.

1/8" TS mono jacks – These are wired in
parallel to each other, and work in con-
junction with the 3-pin connector. Either
input can receive a +12V trigger which
will turn on the unit. This will then allow
the unused jack to output +12V that can
be used to turn-on a second unit. If the
3-pin connector is used to trigger the unit,
then both of the 1/8" jacks can be used to
provide output triggers to other units.
