Russound ACA-E5 Installation Manual
hOmE ThEATER TRIGGER
12VDC TRIGGER IN/OUT
These triggers are used to integrate with home theater systems that can
provide a 12 volt trigger. The ACA-E5 can be used to power manage sources
that are being shared with the home theater system. For example, the power
management system will check to see the state of the home theater before
powering down source gear.
HOME THEATER TRIGGER IN
This 12VDC Trigger input will have different functionality based on the state
of the system and the state of the trigger.
“System Off’ (all zones have been off for at least 5 minutes)
If 12VDC is applied to this input, it will activate the power management ON
command to the sources. While all zones are still OFF and 12VDC is removed,
the system will wait 5 minutes and then activate the power management OFF
command to the sources.
“System On” (at least one zone is on)
If 12VDC is present but all zones get turned OFF, the power management
OFF commands will not be sent until 5 minutes after the 12VDC is removed
from the trigger.
NOTE: If the trigger is not being used, power management will operate
normally.
The connections for the trigger are made using a two-conductor cable with
1/8” male mini-plug. The tip is positive (+) and the sleeve is negative (-).
100mA TRIGGER OUT
The 12VDC 100mA trigger out can be used to engage any 12VDC trigger
device or component such as the Russound ACT-1 triggered outlet. The
connections for the trigger out are made using a two-conductor cable with
1/8” male mini-plug jacks at each end. The tip is positive (+) and the sleeve is
negative (-).
The output will be activated when the first zone is turned on (system on) and
is deactivated six minutes after the last zone is turned off (system off).
