AX-MTR

Wiring Instructions
1. Connect the BLACK wire to chassis ground.
2. Connect the RED wire to switched 12-volt. (After programming, the RED wire can
be left on switched or wired to constant 12-volt)
3. Go to Page 7 and program the AX-MTR with the selected Feature# you need.
Return here to finish wiring the AX-MTR.
4. Connect the BLUE, WHITE and ORANGE wires to relays as indicated below for
the selected Feature#. Do not connect the BLUE, WHITE or ORANGE wires to
devices directly unless instructed.
5. Always use a fuse when using relays with a 12-volt source!
#1: On a constant trigger: both the BLUE and WHITE wire will activate after a one second
delay. If you are using the AX-MTR to turn on an amplifier, you can connect the GREEN wire
to any (+) speaker wire lead and the BLUE wire to the amplifier’s remote input. If you need
to invert a negative to a positive output, connect the BROWN wire to the source and the
BLUE wire to the device that needs to see a positive signal to activate. The BLUE wire can
connect directly to 1 to 4 devices that have a remote trigger input. If the total current draw
of the devices exceeds 2-amps, use a relay to supply 12-volt at a higher current
.
#2: This will automatically bypass Alpine’s video procedure: After programming
(detailed programming on page 7), connect the GREEN wire to the Alpine’s remote
wire, the BLUE wire to the Alpine’s foot brake input wire, the WHITE wire to the Alpine’s
parking brake input wire. In this configuration, relays are not needed. Do not connect
any other sources to the WHITE or BLUE wires of the AX-MTR. Connect the RED wire to
vehicle’s accessory 12-volt. Note: This feature is factory set. Keep switch to off position
and wire according to above. No programming is necessary unless changed
.
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: Connect the BROWN or GREEN wire to a momentary source, like from a switch or
alarm’s output. When triggered, the BLUE and WHITE wire will turn on and stay on. When
triggered a second time, the BLUE and WHITE wires will turn off. Use the BLUE or WHITE
wire to activate a relay to turn on lights, neon, or any other source that draws high current
.
#4: Connect the BROWN wire to the alarm’s unlock output and connect the BLUE wire or
WHITE wire to the unlock wire of the vehicle that needs to see 2 pulses to unlock all doors
.
#5: Extend the BROWN wire and connect to the chassis of the trailer or the back of
stereo in such a way that the BROWN wire must be cut or disconnected from the
chassis, if a theft is in progress. The BROWN wire must be connected to a good
chassis source so that it will not false trigger. Connect the BLUE or WHITE wire to an
alarm or other alarming device trigger input. You may program a delayed time before
the outputs will turn on when the BROWN wire is disconnect from the chassis.
#6: Connect the BROWN or GREEN wire to a pulsed or constant source. Connect the
BLUE or WHITE wire to the device that you want to activate for a time period. You
may program a delayed off time. The delay will not start until the end of the pulse or
when the constant trigger is off.
#7: Connect the BROWN or GREEN wire to the siren output of the alarm. Connect the
BLUE or WHITE wire to a relay that will supply a positive or negative output to the
horn wire. When triggered, the AX-MTR will delay 2 seconds before honking the horn.
#8: Although this is not a full Linear Actuator Controller (does not have a brake wire),
the AX-MTR will brake correctly when used with limit switches. If wired according
to
the diagram on the diagram page, the linear actuator will function and work correctly.
