2. Product specification
WIRELESS ALFA TRIGGER control system is dedicated for automatic remote control of electric projection screens by Avers Screens, electric projector lifts Avers ProLift, electric coutrtain system Avers VIRGO and other home electric appliances driven by applying high voltage to the control inputs. The control system was designed for fixed installation at projection systems for business presentations and/or home cinema applications. When the projector lamp is on, the trigger control signal is generated at the projector’s trigger output. Control signal is recognized by dedicated transmitter and transferred to the Control Unit with wireless connection. Triggering signal can be transferred by wire connection as an option. System can be upgraded with wireless or infrared remote transmitters, or dedicated wall switch for manual control.
In case of projector malfunction emergency control buttons located at the control unit allow manual operation. It is possible to control several ALFA control units with single wireless trigger transmitter.
