The TR-7 is a universal trigger output module that has various user programmable features combined into one unit. The user programmable

features are stored in non volatile memory. When triggered, the TR-7 can turn on the outputs as a pulsed, latched or a timed output. There

are two inputs, the green wire is a positive input that senses voltages as low as 0.8 volts 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 TR-7 unique is that it does not use

a potentiometer to adjust the timer. The timer is set by programming TR-7 minutes and seconds with a number. The time saved is accurate to the

second +7% - 8%.

The Version Features below cross referenced with the chart on page 2 are the features that can be done with the TR-7. Other unique projects/installs can also

be derived from the TR-7, so PAC leaves it to the installer’s imagination to experiment with these features.

Basic Description

#1: Low voltage trigger. Supplies a 12 volt remote output for an aftermarket amplier when used with a stock head unit that does not have a remote output. Use

the TR-7 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: CVA-1005 video bypass. This will automatically bypass Alpine’s CVA-1005/1006/1003, IVA-C800 video safety 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 TR-7 only in RV and Marine applications where there is no parking/hand brake to interface to. Do not install the

TR-7 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.

#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. Upon a constant or pulsed trigger, the TR-7 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 doorlocks.

#7: Horn honking output. On older, aftermarket alarms, it may have been difcult 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.

#8: Linear Actuator Controller. Open/close amplier racks from a momentary source like from a alarm’s negative output. Sequence is : Start, Stop, Reverse, Stop.

#9: Doorlock Pulse generator. Good for automatically locking and unlocking doorlocks when ignition is turned on and off.

#10: Channel Splitter. Split 1 channel from an alarm to 2 outputs. Both outputs are user programmable for pulse, latched or timed output.

#11: Pulses to constant output. Counts a number of user programmable pulses within a user programmed time to turn on the outputs. Good for triggering Vehicle

tracking devices that need a constant trigger but the factory alarm only has a pulsed output when triggered light ashing lights or horn honking. Keeps factory

alarm from triggering Vehicle tracking device when arming or disarming.

#12: 3 timers in 1. Upon a constant trigger, all 3 outputs are user programmable to delay before turning on outputs or turning on instantly then delay before turning

off outputs. Good for situations where you need more than 1 timer but on a different timer period, without having multiple modules.

#13: Pulses to latch/unlatch outputs. Upon a number of pulses within a user programmable time, the outputs will latch. Upon a number of pulses within a user

programmable time the second time, the outputs will unlatch. You may program how many pulses to latch and unlatch. Use to turn on aftermarket driving lights

by using existing parking light switch.

#14: Pulses to pulse output. Upon number of pulses within a user programmable time, the outputs will pulse. Example, if you programmed to see 4 pulses, for every

4 pulses the TR-7 sees within a 5 second time period, the outputs will pulse once.

#15: Pulses to timed output. Upon a number of pulses within 5 seconds, the outputs will turn on and delay for the amount of programmed time, then the outputs

will turn off.

#16: Latching outputs. Good for turning on 2 sets of driving lights with one momentary switch. 1st pulse will latch one wire. 2nd pulse will unlatch rst wire and latch

other wire. 3rd pulse will latch both wires. 4th pulse turns off both wires.
