9. Connecting to an External Sensor
The
X80
Repeater
can connect to an external sensor that has a contact closure output. This
feature
allows a camera to be triggered by various types of sensors in addition to the motion
detector (i.e.
seismic, magnetometer, pressure pad, etc.).
The “
Repeater
to External Sensor Connector Kit” (sold separately) is required to connect to an
external
sensor. This kit includes a 9 foot cable with an
X80
Repeater
connector on one end, and
open wires
on the other end. The kit also includes an extra X80 connector. The wiring is shown
below:
To trigger the
Repeater
, the external sensor must be wired so that it closes the connection
between
Pins 1 and 3 when it is activated (Brown and Green/Yellow).
