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 installers imagination to experiment with these features.

Basic Description

#1: #2: 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 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. CVA-1005 video bypass. This will automatically bypass Alpines 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. Latch and unlatch output from a pulsed input. Turn on headlights, neon lights or radio from an alarm with a momentary output. 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. 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. 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. 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. Linear Actuator Controller. Open/close amplifier racks from a momentary source like from a alarms negative output. Sequence is : Start, Stop, Reverse, Stop. Doorlock Pulse generator. Good for automatically locking and unlocking doorlocks when ignition is turned on and off. Channel Splitter. Split 1 channel from an alarm to 2 outputs. Both outputs are user programmable for pulse, latched or timed output. 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 flashing lights or horn honking. Keeps factory alarm from triggering Vehicle tracking device when arming or disarming. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 first wire and latch other wire. 3rd pulse will latch both wires. 4th pulse turns off both wires.

Detailed Description and Wiring Instructions
During programming, the red wire will need to be connected to a SWITCHED 12 volt source or manually connected to a 12 volt source. After programming, you may connect the red wire to a constant 12 volt source if you want the TR-7 to work while the ignition is off. Do not connect the green wire to source until after it is programmed. Connect the black wire to chassis ground. Connect the blue, white and orange wire to relays. !! Do not connect the blue, white or orange wires to devices directly unless instructed. 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 TR-7 to turn on an amplifier, you can connect the green wire to any (+) speaker wire lead and the blue wire to the amplifiers 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 exceed 2 amps, use a relay to supply 12 volts at a higher current. This will automatically bypass Alpines CVA-1005/1006, IVA-C800 video safety procedure. After programming, connect the green wire to the CVA-1005 remote wire, the blue wire to the CVA-1005 foot brake input wire, the white wire to the CVA-1005 parking brake input wire. In this configuration, relays are not needed. Do not connect any other sources to the white or orange wires of the TR-7. 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. Connect the brown or green wire to a momentary source, like from a switch or alarms 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. Connect the brown wire to the alarms 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. 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. 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. 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 TR-7 will delay 2 seconds before honking the horn. Although this is not a full Linear Actuator Controller (does not have a brake wire), the TR-7 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. Connect the brown or green wire to a momentary source. When pulsed the first time the white wire will latch on, then 1.5 seconds later the blue wire will latch on (this will allow time for the limit switches to turn off). On a second pulse both the blue and white wire will turn off. On a 3rd pulse the orange wire will latch on, then 1 second later the blue wire will latch on. Connect the green wire to a true ignition wire of the vehicle. Connect the white wire to the lock relay and the orange to the unlock relay. When the ignition is turned on, the white wire will pulse once after a 5 second delay. When the ignition is turned off, the orange wire will pulse once. The orange wire is user programmable not to pulse when the trigger is disconnected. Connect the brown wire to the alarms negative output. Connect the white wire to the first device being controlled and the orange wire to the second device being controlled. Use relays if the devices draw more than 150 milliamps. After a single pulse from the alarm within 3 seconds, the white wire will activate. After two pulses within 3 seconds, the orange wire will activate. Each wire is user programmable for a pulse, latch or a timed output. Please note that if any one of the two wires are programmed for a timer output, the TR-7 will not respond until the timer is finished. Connect the green or brown wire to the factory alarms flashing light or horn output. Connect the blue or white wire to the vehicle tracking device trigger input. You can program the amount of pulses the TR-7 sees within a user programmable number of seconds to trigger the vehicle tracking device. Example, if the factory alarm flashes or honks the horn a maximum of 2 times when arming or disarming, then you can program the TR-7 to see 4-5 pulses within a 5 second period when the factory alarm is triggered. The TR-7 will then see a continuous amount of pulses within the 5 second period at which time it will turn on the blue and white wire. As long as the pulses continue, the TR-7 blue or white wire will stay on. Connect the brown or green wire to a source that stays constant when turned on. Connect the blue, white and orange wire to the devices being controlled. Both outputs are user programmable to delay before turning on the outputs or turning on outputs instantly, then delaying before turning off. You do not need to use all the outputs, but during programming you do need to program all features and timers before you can automatically exit programming. Connect the green or brown wire to a momentary or pulsed source. Connect the blue or white wire to a device being controlled. Upon seeing a number of pulses within a number of seconds the first time, the outputs will latch. After seeing a number of pulses within a number of seconds the second time, the outputs will

unlatch. You may program how many pulses the TR-7 needs to see to latch and unlatch the outputs. Example, turn on and off your parking lights 4 times within 5 seconds to turn on aftermarket lights. Turn on and off 3 times to turn the aftermarket lights off. #14: Connect the green or brown wire to a pulsed output source. Connect the blue or white wire to a device being controlled. Upon seeing a user programmable number of pulses within a user programmable number of seconds, the blue and white outputs will pulse once. Example, if you programmed the TR-7 to see 4 pulses, then for every 4 pulses the TR-7 sees within a number of seconds, the outputs will pulse once. #15: Connect the green or brown wire to a pulsed output source. Connect the blue or white wire to a device being controlled. Upon a user programmable number of pulses the TR-7 sees within 5 seconds, the blue and white outputs will turn on and delay for a user programmable time, then the outputs will turn off. #16: Connect the brown or green wire to a momentary source. Connect the blue or white wire to the device being controlled. On the first pulse the TR-7 receives, the white wire will latch on. On the second pulse the white wire will unlatch and the orange wire will latch on. On the third pulse, the white and orange wires will latch on. On the fourth pulse both the white and orange wire will turn off.

Programming

In this section, when asked to Pulse the trigger wire, this will indicate to temporarily ground the brown wire to chassis ground and then un-ground it. Each time you do this, the LED indicator will turn on and off.
All Feature Select and Timer section, that have a (*) symbol, MUST be programmed from left to right order. Even if you do not need all outputs, an option or time must be set for that wire in order for the TR-7 to finish programming. 1. Select a feature you want from the chart and note the version number. Slide the switch to the on position and apply 12 volts to the TR-7. Pulse the trigger wire the number of times according to the version number. Wait 3 seconds, and the LED will flash the amount of times you Pulsed the trigger wire saving that version number into memory. In the Feature Select section in the chart, where a * is indicated, that feature will correspond to that specific color wire. When selecting a feature, Pulse the trigger wire once to select the 1st option, twice within 3 seconds to select the 2nd option, or 3 times within 3 seconds to select the third option. Example; Version# 9, 10, and 12 need an option selected. - OR If you need to select how many pulses you need to trigger an event, Pulse the wire the number of times needed. After 3 seconds, the LED will flash the amount of times you Pulsed the trigger wire telling what option you selected or how many pulses the TR-7 needs for a triggered event. Repeat if other wires need to have an option selected. Example; Version# 7, 11, 13, 14, and 15 need a number of pulses to trigger an event. After all remaining options are programmed in the Feature Select section, the TR-7 will automatically go to the Timer section. In the Timer section in the chart, where a * is indicated, you will need to program a time for that specific wire(s). If in the Feature Select section you programmed for a pulse or latched event for that color wire, then the timer for that wire will be automatically skipped. To start programming the time needed, Pulse the trigger wire one time to start the timer. -Minutes- The LED will flash rapidly 1 time, indicating you need to program the number of minutes. Pulse the trigger wire for the number of minutes needed. After 3 seconds the LED will flash the number of minutes recorded. If you program for 5 or greater, the TR-7 will default to 4 for minutes. If you need zero minutes, do nothing and wait the 3 seconds. -Seconds in tens place- The LED will flash rapidly 2 times indicating you need to program the number of seconds in the tens place. Pulse the trigger wire the number of seconds needed. After 3 seconds the LED will flash the number of seconds recorded in the tens place. If you program for 6 or greater, the TR-7 will default to 5 for the tens place. If you need zero seconds in the tens place, do nothing and wait the 3 seconds. -Seconds in ones place- The LED will flash rapidly 3 times indicating you need to program the number of seconds in the ones place. Pulse the trigger wire the number of seconds needed. After 3 seconds the LED will flash the number of seconds recorded in the ones place. If you program for 10 or greater, the TR-7 will default to 9 seconds for the ones place. If you need zero seconds in the ones place, do nothing and wait the 3 seconds. -End of timer- The LED will flash rapidly 4 times indicating that the timer is finish recording. Repeat step 3 if more than one timer has to be recorded, otherwise go to step 4. Example 1; If you want 36 seconds for a timer, Pulse the trigger wire one time. The LED will flash rapidly 1 time, wait 3 seconds and 0 minutes will be recorded. The LED will flash rapidly 2 times, Pulse the trigger wire 3 times, after 3 seconds the LED will flash 3 times indicating 3 was recorded for the tens place. The LED will flash rapidly 3 times, Pulse the trigger wire 6 times and after 3 seconds the LED will flash 6 times indicating 6 was recorded for the ones place.

36 seconds -or- 0:36 =

6 min tens ones
Example 2; If you want 2 minutes and 25 seconds for a timer, Pulse the trigger wire one time. The LED will flash rapidly 1 time, Pulse the trigger wire 2 times, after 3 seconds the LED will flash 2 times, indicating 2 was recorded for the minutes place. The LED will flash rapidly 2 times, Pulse the trigger wire 2 times, after 3 seconds the LED will flash 2 times indicating 2 was recorded for the tens place. The LED will flash rapidly three times, Pulse the trigger wire 5 times, after 3 seconds the LED will flash 5 times indicating 5 was recorded for seconds in the ones place.
2 minutes and 25 seconds -or- 2:25 =

5 min tens ones

Note: The maximum time that can be set is 4 minutes and 15 seconds. If you go beyond the maximum time, the TR-7 will automatically use 4 minutes and 15 seconds as a time. In version # 10, if you did not program for any timers, then the Timer section will automatically be skipped. 4. After all options and/or timer are programmed, the LED will flash rapidly for 3 seconds, indicating that programming is finished. Slide the switch to the off position. If you make a mistake during programming, you will need to start over from step 1. * Need a Programming Flow Chart? Visit our website and download the TR-7 Flow Chart to help you through these steps.
