Installation – 12V Triggers
Page | 22
The DAX88 has 2 sets of 12V triggers for each zone on the rear of the device to
automate your audio system even further. All connections should be made with a
3.5mm mono cable, and connect all signals as tip positive.
y
The first set of triggers will output a 12V signal that corresponds to a zone being
on or off. For example, if you wire a cable to the 3.5mm port for Zone 1’s trigger,
you will get a 12V signal on that wire when the zone is on, and 0V when the zone
is off. This 12V signal can be useful, for example, for turning on other equipment
automatically like a projection screen or an external amplifier.
y
The second set of triggers have two different functions.
o The mute trigger will mute all zones if it receives a 12V signal, but it will
unmute once the 12V signal is removed. This trigger will take precedence
over any mute settings you make in the Dayton Audio Matrio app or with
the IR remote.
o The power on trigger will turn on all zones if it receives a 12V signal.
Zones will stay on even after the signal is removed. For example, if a
12V
signal is applied to the power on trigger, all zones will turn on. When the
12V signal is removed, the zones will stay on until standby or they are
manually turned off.
