General
Man devices like "TV / Video / HiFi / Audio" feature a so-called "12V trigger" output. The devices
indicate the current switching state (ON, OFF ...) and thus control connected "slave units".
The TriggerBox-12V is used for devices without ''12V trigger'' output but shall signal current
switching. The box recognises whether a 230V consumer is switched ON (= current flow). In this
case the 12V trigger signal is given.
Please read this manual carefully and completely before initial operation, it describes
the assigned use and contains important information about the installation/operation of
the TriggerBox-12V. he manufacturer assumes no liability for consequences of usage
violation, all warranty claims omitted.
Use of the TriggerBox-12V
The TriggerBox-12V recognises whether a 230V consumer is switched ON (= current flow). In
this case the 12V-trigger-signal is output via the 3,5 mm jack socket at the bottom of the
housing. This is signalled b a green LED on the front of the box.
Operating instructions of the connected electronic devices and their safet regulations must be
respected.
