Installation and Connections
Using an External Device with 12V Trigger Terminal
– USA and Canadian models –
You can turn on the AV devices connected to the
RDC-7.1 automatically using the output signal from the
12V TRIGGER OUT terminal on the RDC-7.1.
Making a Connection
You can connect up to five devices to the 12V TRIGGER
Phoenix (Pluggable Connector) terminal (larger one)
and one device to the 12V TRIGGER OUT E terminal
(mini-jack).
You can connect any external devices to the RDC-7.1
whether the connected device is located in the main,
Zone 2 or Zone 3 room.
There are five terminals for connecting external
devices and their maximum current allowed to be
connected are as follows:
A:
Up to 200 mA.
B, C and D:
Up to 100 mA each.
E:
Up to 100 mA for the total current value of both the
Phoenix and mini-jack terminals.
Before connecting an external device, check that the cur-
rent value for the 12V TRIGGER terminal of the con-
nected device does not exceed the target terminal’s
maximum current above.
When using the 12V TRIGGER Phoenix (Pluggable
Connector) terminal:
1. Loosen the screws using a flatblade screwdriver to
open the shutters.
2. Connect the GND wire (black) to the GND terminal,
and close the shutter.
3. Connect the remaining wire to any of the terminals
between A and E, and close the shutter.
4. When you connect more than one external device,
you can connect all the GND wires to the GND ter-
minal together.
5. Connect the Phoenix terminal firmly to the 12V
TRIGGER OUT socket on the RDC-7.1.
6. After making connections, you have to configure the
association between the room where the device is
used and the device to be turned on. For performing
this setting, refer to “12V Trigger Assign” of “Input
Setup” section on page 102.
When connecting the IntegraRESEARCH’s RDA-7.1
power amplifier:
Connect the amplifier to the 12V TRIGGER OUT A
200mA MAX terminal.
When using the mini-jack 12V TRIGGER OUT E
terminal:
When you want to connect two devices to both the Phoe-
nix terminal E and mini-jack terminal simultaneously,
you can connect them as long as the total current value of
their 12V TRIGGER terminals will not exceed 100 mA
.
