2. Product specification
WIRELESS ALFA TRIGGER control system is dedicated for automatic remote control of electric projection screens
by Avers Screens, electric projector lifts Avers ProLift, electric coutrtain system Avers VIRGO and other home electric
appliances driven by applying high voltage to the control inputs. The control system was designed for fixed installation at
projection systems for business presentations and/or home cinema applications. When the projector lamp is on, the trigger
control signal is generated at the projector’s trigger output. Control signal is recognized by dedicated transmitter and
transferred to the Control Unit with wireless connection. Triggering signal can be transferred by wire connection as an
option. System can be upgraded with wireless or infrared remote transmitters, or dedicated wall switch for manual control.
In case of projector malfunction emergency control buttons located at the control unit allow manual operation. It is possible
to control several ALFA control units with single wireless trigger transmitter.

3.4 AVERS TRIGGER control system programming
WIRELESS ALFA TRIGGER control system do not require any programming to operate with Pojector Trigger output
(Wireless Trigger Transmitter is programmed at ALFA control unit). Each Wireless Trigger Transmitters have a unique
code, so many WIRELESS ALF TRIGGER control systems could operate in the same area without interfere. Single
Wireless Trigger transmitter can control many ALFA units if it will be programmed to each. Programming procedure
described below have to be performed when the control system is upgraded with optional remote transmitters. Optional
remote transmitters add manual control possibility. ALFA control unit react to incoming commands immediately after
command arrival. ALFA control unit can remember up to 20 wireless remote transmitters, they must be separately
programmed at the control unit memory. IR remote transmitters do not require programming.
