The optional Wire Break/Make Trigger Cable (Part No. 720A3501) for the Series IV units is
available for purchase from your authorized Instantel Dealer Representative and is shipped with
an installation and setup sheet. The Wire Break/Make Trigger Cable is used to trigger up to six
Minimate Pro units; a Wire Break/Make Trigger Cable is required for each unit to be triggered.
The units auxiliary channel senses the wire trigger signal via a 22 gauge Break or Make wire
provided by the operator, and starts recording. A signal occurs when the Break or Make trigger
wires separate or create a contact, a) a Break signal from a blast physically breaking the trigger
wire, or b) a Make signal occurs when the trigger wires contact, such as an operator pressing a
push button switch.
