continued …
Under each of the three AVM 2 Zones / Paths, MAIN ( M ), ZONE2 ( Z2 ), and RECORD ( R ), a variety of Sources
are available to choose from to set the Triggers.
In the Control Chart, you will notice that there are 27 available Sources (27 dashes), that could be used to
activate that particular Trigger.
For Trigger 1, 2, or 3 to activate, simply enter that Trigger’s Control Chart and replace the ‘-’ with an ‘*’ for the
sources that you wish.
For Example: F rom the following Trigger Control Chart – TRIGGER 2 will activate whenever the MAIN Zone / Path
is set to the DISC1 Source. This will supply an output of 12 volts with up to 50mA at the Trigger2 output.
(menu 8.e-f) FRONT IR and REAR IR Settings:
Allows you to ‘ENABLE’ or ‘DISABLE’ the IR Receiver located at the front, or the IR Input located at the back
of the AVM 2. This is useful when an IR repeater, connected to the AVM 2 rear IR Input, has to be located in
the same room as the AVM 2. In such a case you may have two IR signals being received by the AVM 2 - One
from the Remote Control and one from the repeater on the rear. The problem is that rear signal is delayed,
which may confuse the IR Receivers’ control circuits. Disabling the Front IR in this case solves the problem.
At times, the IR signal may still find its way to the internally mounted rear IR Receiver via the vents in the top
cover. This could also cause confusion for the AVM 2. If this input is not used, simply Disable the Rear IR
Receiver to solve any possible problems.
Note: If the red Indicator LED on your Remote Control flashes when you press an active key, but the
AVM 2 does not respond, it may be because the FRONT IR was changed to ‘DISABLED’. If this has
occurred it can only be Enabled again by using the AVM 2 Front Panel buttons to enter the Setup
Menu – go to TRIGGERS/IR/RS-232 (menu 8), then go to FRONT IR (menu 8.e) and change the
setting back to ‘ENABLED’.
(menu 8.g-h) Baud Rate and Flow Control:
The Baud Rate (adjustable from 1200 to 115200 bps), and Flow Control (‘RTS’, ‘CTS’ or ‘NONE’), allow for
configuring the serial port communication parameters. This is normally for use by the factory and
dealer/installers only.
(menu 8.i) RS-232 TX Status ON Settings:
Echoes front panel and remote control commands, status changes, and control information through the
RS-232 port. This is normally for use by the factory and dealer/installers only.
