AX-MTR
®
2
Basic Description of Features:
There are two inputs, the GREEN wire is a positive input that senses voltages as low
as 0.8-volt and the BROWN wire is a negative input, both are tied together internally
which is, essentially, ONE trigger input. There are 3 separate outputs; the BLUE wire is
a positive 12-volt output which has a maximum current rating of 2-amps. The WHITE
and ORANGE wires are negative outputs which have a maximum of current rating of
150-milliamps. The timed output is user adjustable and can be programmed up to 4
minutes and 15 seconds. What makes the AX-MTR unique is that it does not use a
potentiometer to adjust the timer. The timer is set by programming AX-MTR minutes
and seconds with a number. The time saved is accurate to the second +7% - 8%.
The basic descriptions below are the features that can be done with the AX-MTR.
Each feature is assigned Feature#. Please make note of which Feature# you are
going to use. Other unique projects/installs can also be derived from the AX-MTR,
so AXXESS leaves it to the installer’s imagination to experiment with these features.
#1 - Low voltage trigger:
Supplies a 12-volt remote output for an aftermarket amplifier when used with a
stock head unit that does not have a remote output. Use the AX-MTR to supply a
12-volt output from a 5-volt remote source, like from Ford radios. Use on some
vehicles that have a negative antenna output and convert to a positive output.
#2 - Alpine video bypass:
This will automatically bypass Alpine’s flip out monitor video procedure. WARNING!
It is dangerous (and illegal in most states) for the driver to watch the TV/Video
monitor while driving the vehicle. The driver may be distracted from looking ahead
and an accident could occur. Install the AX-MTR only in RV and Marine applications
where there is no parking/hand brake to interface to. Do not install the AX-MTR
where the driver may be able to view the monitor when driving.
#3 - Latch and unlatch output from a pulsed input:
Turn on headlights, neon lights or radio from an alarm with a momentary output or
from a momentary switch.
#4 - Double pulse output:
Pulses outputs twice when trigger from a constant or pulsed signal. Use for alarm
applications where the unlock wire needs 2 pulses to unlock all doors.
#5 - Closed loop circuit:
Good for monitoring trailers on hitches by triggering an aftermarket alarm if the
trailer is disconnected from the vehicles hitch. Also monitors stereo equipment in
vehicles.
#6 - Pulse extender/Delayed turnoff:
Upon a constant or pulsed trigger, the AX-MTR will turn on the outputs. As soon as
the trigger is disconnected, turned off or at the end of a pulse, the timer will count
up to the number of seconds recorded, at which time the outputs will turn off. Good
for turning on headlights at night for convenience. Extend alarms output from 1
second to 3 seconds for Mercedes vacuum door locks. (rev.2)
#7 - Horn honking output:
On older, aftermarket alarms, it may have been difficult to disarm the alarm with the
RF remote when the horn was honking. This will give you a 2 second delay between
honks, allowing you to disarm the alarm. Unique horn honking to distinguish your
vehicle from others. Program between 1 and 5 honks before the 2 second delay.
