ADVANCED CONNECTIONS, SETUP & CONTROL continued
Trigger setup menu
This is where you select the functions of the
Program 1
and
Program 2 jacks
. In the menu
these jacks are called “Trigger 1” and “Trigger 2.”
Trigger sense
selects the event or command that
the 7100 will sense in order to turn on the trigger
voltage at its
Program 1 jack
and
Program 2 jack
.
This enables the 7100 to control two additional
devices.The factory default Trigger setup defaults
appear on the menu page this way:
“Trigger 1 sense PowerOn”
The
Program 1 jack
is live when the 7100 is operat-
ing. You can select other events by pressing the
left
or
right cursor buttons
on the remote.
“– polarity Posit.”
In this context Polarity does not change the trigger jack’s + voltage to
– and vice versa, as its name implies. Rather, it selects whether the trigger output is normally
off or normally on. When
Polarity
is set to “Posit.” the triggering event you selected will
switch the trigger output from 0 to +12 volts; when set to “Negat.,” the triggering event
switches the trigger output from +12 to 0 volts
“– delay No”
Delay adjusts the delay between the instant of the triggering event and when
the
Program 1 jack
turns on. It can be set for “No” delay or for any of 14 delays, of 1 sec-
ond to 3 minutes.
“ – duration Infin.”
Duration
selects how long the
Program 1 jack
remains active. The
trigger signal can be set to remain active as long as the triggering condition applies (“Infin.”)
or to any of 16 periods from 10 milliseconds to 3 minutes. If duration is set to 10 ms or 100
ms, additional pulses of 10 ms and 100 ms are generated when the triggering event ends.
This enables the 7100 to control devices that require separate turn-on and turn-off pulses.
“Trigger 2 sense Zone On”
“– Polarity Positive”
The
Program 2 jack
is live when the 7100 second Zone (B) is turned on.
In this case it would automatically turn on the power amplifier for the remote zone speakers.
“– delay No”
The
Program 2 jack
comes alive as soon as Zone power is turned on.
“– duration Infin.”
The
Program 2 jack
will remain on as long as the second Zone power
is turned on.
Thanks to the flexibility of its three triggers, the 7100 can initiate and end a number of operations.
For example: the
MAIN ON trigger jack
output could be used to turn power amplifiers on and off
with the 7100; Selection of video sources could be used to lower a projection screen, turn on a
video projector, dim room lights, and draw window curtains.
Note:
You have come to the end of the Setup menu. When you select Exit at the bottom of the
Trigger setup menu page, it will save all your settings, and the menu will now disappear. If
you wish to review any menu settings, press the
Menu button
again and navigate to the
applicable page.
