12 Volt Trigger Ins and Outs
12 Volt Trigger Ins and Outs
The Director M6400 and M6800 have five
ways you can bring the unit from standby
to turn on and be ready to serve. In ad-
dition, you can use the triggers from The
Director to turn on more Directors or oth-
er components as well. All this flexibility
can be a little daunting, so the table below
should make it a tad clearer:
* +12 volts on tip, mono jack
The following details apply if you do not
want to use the Ethernet web server to
turn on The Director M6400 or M6800.
3-pin connector
– To remotely turn on the
unit, use either a contact closure between
the Trigger Input and the +12V output,
or an ex12V trigger between the
Trigger In and GND terminals. The +12V
output is not designed to power other
pieces of equipment or jump start your car.

+12V Trigger Input
1/8” TS mono jacks
– These are wired in
parallel to each other, and work in con-
junction with the 3-pin connector. Either
input can receive a +12V trigger which
will turn on the unit. This will then allow
the unused jack to 12V that can
be used to turn-on a second unit. If the
3-pin connector is used to trigger the unit,
then both of the 1/8” jacks can be used to
provide output triggers to other units.
