TR12

PC Programmable

Universal Trigger Interface

The TR12 is a universal trigger output module that can be easily congured by a PC. There are numerous possibilities due

to 4 separate inputs (8 wires total, 1 positive and 1 negative for each input) and 4 separate outputs. The inputs can be set to

trigger from a certain number of pulses (positive or negative), a selectable trigger voltage (from .20 volts to 14 volts in .20 volt

increments) or from a latched and pulsed input. The four outputs can be programmed for pulsed, latched or timed 12v or ground

and have a current rating of 3A each.

• Pre-Programmed presets for Pioneer, Clarion and Alpine head units

• PC Programmable

• Universal applications including: Low-Voltage Trigger down to 200mV, VIM Bypass, Actuator Controller with Limit Switch

Capability (additional relays required and are not included), Delay Turn On/Off, Latched/Unlatched Output, Pulse Extender,

Channel Expander, 4 in 1 Timer Output, Horn Honk Output. The possibilities are endless!

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 TR12 only in RV and Marine applications where

there is no parking/hand brake to interface to. Do not install the TR12 where the driver may be able to view the monitor when driving.

Introduction & Features

Important Notes

1. All output wires are rated at 3A. If more current is needed a relay must be used.

2. The inputs can be tied together for multiple triggers off of one wire, however the outputs cannot be tied together.

3. The TR12 is equipped with 4 LEDs on the side that can be used as visual conrmation that the outputs are congured

properly. A red LED indicates a positive output and a green LED indicates a negative output.
