Control System for Evanesce B Series
5-12 VOLT TRIGGER CABLE

trigger output via a separate cable that may or
may not be provided by the manufacturer of the
projector. The trigger feature will not work
without an output cable from the projector, but it
can be tested by connecting the Red (+) and
Green (-) cable to a 9-volt battery.
2. 3-Way Wall Switch: The 3-way wall
switch is a wall mount control box with
an up/stop/down button and plugs
directly into the screen’s RJ-45 input.
3. IR “Eye” Receiver: plugs directly into the
screen’s RJ-45 input to present a low profile
line-of-sight control option for your IR remote
